Cue Eddie Murphy.

Expect to see variants of “McDowell’s” opening across the fruited plains...

There goes the franchise business. Well I guess the democrats need those labor union donations for the upcoming election.

A big blow from the Obama administration to small business and contract law.

And an even bigger payoff to the big business donors who support this NAZI style government of chosen winners and chosen losers. USA is FOR SALE!

The NRLB is now saying that companies that contract with others firms for services or set quality standards in exchange for brand licensing implicitly influence the other firms’ employees and should be required to bargain collectively with them.

If we follow this train of thought, wouldn't all companies eventually have contacts with the government, thus government could control all wages?

Just a thought.

Any franchise operation with under 50 employees will see all their exemptions disappear if they're reclassified as part of the franchising corporation.

Mandatory Obamacare, wage and overtime regulations, EEO rules, OSHA rules - all kick in while tax breaks for small business disappear...

Wow. They are effectively allowing workers in a franchise to seek union representation. Look for the major labor unions to begin recruitment efforts.

We’ve chased off heavy industry, now we are going after the service industry. Socialized Industry here we come.

Fewer jobs, worse service, and you won’t be able to get a job unless you know someone.

That is actually not too far fetched.

Rule by fiat, political whim and bureaucracy that equals the operation of government in the Soviet Union in its heyday

Say hello to the fully automated fast food restaurant.

In an a tinny female electronic voice:

“You want fries with that?”

“Beep”

Since our government operates more on precedent rather than law, the next administration, no matter the party, will have the same arbitrary powers.

Our forebears didn’t fight and die to establish an elective despotism.

Elections increasingly serve to give the patina of legitimacy to tyranny.

Yes, the Lawless One is here, and he is ascendant.

I wonder if he will make any comments on this. A lot of his employees are unionized, if he speaks out against it the unions will run with it to turn working people against him.

I don’t think it will have much effect and will probably be repealed by the next administration without much comment or by Congress who will be told that unless it goes away their careers are over. “You may wish to familiarize yourself with Monster.com Mr. Representative.”

New types of organizations may result but I think this will not work out the way they intend.

It is also a great argument for reducing the NRLB’s budget to about 40% of what it is now. Too much mischief being promulgated by this bureau.

I don’t believe that we have ever had an administration so determined to eliminate jobs as this one. I don’t think they are familiar with the low cost of automation of restaurant operations. McDonald’s has had a working robotic model for twenty years or so and the costs of automation have plummeted.

Franchise owners get the shaft.

They spent their own money to build, provision and staff their place - surrendered some rights to the front office like location, design, what product to sell and what suppliers to use.

Now they lose workforce control, even though they still have to pay their employees. themselves. Does that sound like a good deal?
