Obamacare call center hired part-time employees - denying them the healthcare benefits they are promoting

-Concord city disappointed that much-needed jobs lack benefits
-Companies only need to cover full-time workers under healthcare reforms
-New recruits claim they were only told about the hours after training

A call center due to open in the fall to tell the public about ObamaCare has been criticized for offering half of its employees part-time work, which will deny them the very benefits they have been hired to promote.

Staff and city officials in Contra Costa County have been left dismayed that the successful bid to run one of three Californian call centers has ended in employees being left without benefits.

More than 7,000 people applied for just 180 positions at the Concord call center, which is due to open on October 1. They believed most of the roles would be full-time and come with health insurance.
