White House tells defense contractors facing massive layoffs to break federal law and promises to pay their fines for doing so!

The government said it would cover legal costs if contractors are forced to slash their payrolls because of the looming $109 billion in automatic cuts next year and are alleged to have violated the WARN Act. 

The federal WARN Act requires businesses with more than 100 employees to notify workers at least 60 days in advance of a mass layoff or plant closing. Some states require more notice.

CNN is reporting this.  Ace of Spades is giving it a flaming skull and rightly so.  Michelle Malkin is pointing out the Democrat hypocrisy.
