Healthcare Reform

Merchandise (not mine) here.

Related only topically: Michael Moore on Twitter: “CBS has cancelled me on its Mon. morning show. After I criticized ABC/Disney on GMA, they didn’t want me to do same to CBS.”

Moore was on ABC’s Good Morning America last week and called out ABC’s practice of hiring “permalancers.” Here’s what Moore said, on the air:

“People backstage here — they don’t get to be real employees here [, so] they don’t get the benefits . . . I said ‘Guy, I was here two years ago, you were a freelancer, what are you doing here?’ — right backstage here at ABC — he said, ‘We call ourselves permalancers now.’ They don’t get to share in just the basic benefits that an employee used to have who worked here. . . .”
