He cut their hours today because of something that might take effect in 2014?

He did it for revenge, there's no other explanation.

I have kept it quiet since I walked through the door. I knew they were red, I just did not realise how red until I got on the inside. I took the job because at that time I only had 30 days before I was going to be laid off. Since them, especially for the pasy six to eight months, I have been looking for another job but had no luck. But if my current employer knew how I voted, I expect this may happen to me. Hmmm...
