Obama criticizes Staples; Staples responds he doesn't 'have all the facts' - Feb. 11, 2015

President Obama directly criticized Staples over a recent report that says it threatened to fire part-time workers in order to avoid providing them health insurance.



The office supply chain told part-time workers that if they worked more than 25 hours in a week, they could be fired, according to the report in BuzzFeed. The story included a photo of a notice to employees and said one manager told workers the toughened policy was due to Obama's health care law, which requires employers to provide insurance to workers who clock more than 30 hours per week.
