I'm not really understanding your point.

  The laws in the US only require companies to provide health insurance and other benefits to full-time workers, usually defined as something over 30/hours a week. If a company hires a bunch of people to work 20-25 hours, they don't have to pay benefits. The solution, obviously, is to change the law so that any employee, regardless of hours, must get benefits. The other solution, in the US, is to get rid of the antiquated employer-provided private health insurance market and just give everyone health care, the way every other wealthy (and not-so-wealthy) country does.

    I didn't mention anything about cutting salary or benefits. If employers are having a hard time finding people, they'll need to step up.

  Most people need full time work to survive to pay for everything. They need 40 hours of paid work per week as well as health care, a benefit that is usually only provided to full time employees. Businesses usually don't need 40 hours per person per week, especially for things like restaurants. They also do not want to pay for health coverage. So they offer part time jobs with 20 random hours per week. To survive, you would need to cobble together two of those jobs and hope that you don't get sick. Or you can hold out/leave immediately as soon as full time work is available.
