Guess What Hobby Lobby is Forcing on Their Workers Now…

11/5/2014




Leftists sure have a lot to say about the horrors of Hobby Lobby not paying for their emergency contraception, but in all the shouting one thing they aren’t talking about is the raised wages the arts and crafts store pays their employees.  Odd, since minimum wage woes is another hot button issue on the liberal agenda.
The evil folks at Hobby Lobby pay their full-time employees a minimum of $14 an hour. That is nearly double the national average for minimum wage. The hourly wage for part-time employees is also $9.50, according to Young Conservatives.  
“We are very fortunate to be able to increase hourly wages for our employees, because we know our company would not be successful without the great work they do each day in our stores across the nation,” said the store’s CEO and founder David Green.
In addition to a healthy wage, the store’s success has allowed them to open more than 30 new stores across the U.S. last year, creating over 1,000 additional jobs.
To be clear, liberals are upset about a company that still offers 16 different types of birth control and pays their employees a minimum wage of $14 an hour.  At the wage they are paid, Hobby Lobby workers can still purchase their own emergency contraception if they choose to. that is not covered by their employer’s plan, and still be financially better off than working for a business that does cover them.     
As much as some may want to demonize the company for refusing to pay for what it views as abortion, many of those very same people should be happy to hear about Hobby Lobby’s commitment to pay its employees fair, realistic and livable wages that liberals fight for when they aren’t waging war on a company that does just that.
It’s difficult for the left to unearth the truth under the mounds of falsehoods about company and the ruling they’ve dumped over the last two days.
