My understanding is that companies that only hire people for part time positions generally do so to avoid having to give them benefits. Small businesses aside I have no sympathy for companies trying to fuck their workers over so their CEOs can get big paydays and a golden parachute on their way out.

Yes.. benefits and other taxes as well that add to the cost of the employee to the business. Whether the CEOs are over payed or not any person wants to get the most they can for their money. By making it that much more expensive to have people working 40 hours+ a week it turns out for some vocations you get more man hours per dollar by having more employees at 30 hr/wk versus 40 hr/wk. I'm afraid its a business decision done at the local managerial level rather than at the central HQ CEO's level. So I don't think their parachute really affects what happens for this issue. I mean lets face it... most of the businesses we're referring to here are just franchises at the low wage employee level. Its largely out of the hands of corporate. They just collect their franchise fees and take care of the marketing and supplies.
