BACKPEDAL ALERT!: Papa John's CEO now says there will be no cut in hours due to Obamacare.
“Many in the media reported that I said Papa John’s is going to close stores and cut jobs because of Obamacare. I never said that. The fact is we are going to open over hundreds of stores this year and next and increase employment by over 5,000 jobs worldwide. And, we have no plans to cut team hours as a result of the Affordable Care Act.”
~John Schnatter, CEO and founder of Papa John’s
John Schnatter has donated to the Republican party and has even held a fundraiser at his huge home for Mitt Romney (source). It has been more than 10 days and there has already been significant blowback to the Papa John’s brand. Millions of people are viewing Papa John’s in a different way and are considering not supporting a company where the CEO has said it’s “common sense” to cut workers hours to below 30. We wrote about that HERE. Now Mr. Schnatter says he never said what he was reported to say. He says his comments were all taken out of context and that Papa John’s is still going to build more stores, hire more employees and “has no plans to cut team hours as a result of the Affordable Care Act.” Well – that’s good news.
