"... No Layoff Notices Until After Election, Please"
This is NOT pretty at all.
Contractors are basically being told NOT to follow the law in order that the administration not be burdened with the bad news that they themselves have set the stage for...
At Townhall.com, Kate Hicks tells us how that works:
"In an effort to make the economy look a little rosier than it is, the Obama administration is basically coercing defense contractors so as to prevent news of layoffs hitting voters before the election. With sequestration about to result in some major cuts to the defense budget, contractors will lose government business -- and that means, employees will lose jobs. But to prevent poor numbers ahead of the November election, the Obama administration has made it very, well, fiscally unwise for companies to issue layoff notices too early."
