Movie theater workers have had their
hours cut at the nation's largest chain, the Regal Entertainment Group,
it has been revealed today.
A memo released by the company on Monday blamed ObamaCare for the cuts to the working week.
Regal Entertainment Group, which is based in Nashville, has more than 500 theaters in 38 states.
In March, the company cut back
the working week for non-salaried workers to 30 hours - at which they
do not need to provide health insurance.
Regal Entertainment Group, which made $2.8billion in 2011, sent a letter to managers which said the cuts were directly caused by Obamacare, according to Fox.
Part of the letter read: 'Some managers have requested guidance on what they should tell those employees negatively impacted and, at your discretion, we suggest the following.
'To comply with the Affordable Care Act, Regal had to increase our health care budget to cover those newly deemed eligible based on the law's definition of a full-time employee.'
Several other companies have also cut employees' hours following the Affordable Health Care Act including Applebee's and Olive Garden.
