Hmm, effectively making small businesses into large ones so as to get the unions in the door. Another “law” written by extra-congressional shadow bureaucracy.

Not entirely a new concept. Robert Reich, when he was Clinton’s Secretary of Labor, was small business hostile and floated the idea of forcing small businesses to merge. I assume so that they would be easier for FedGov to control.

So every employee of McDonalds , Wendy’s, Subway, etc. Instead of being employees of the local franchise, they will also be employees of the corporation now. I see that this can upset the apple cart regarding how the corporate structure of the franchises are set up.

I can see a parallel with Stalin calling farmers “Kulaks”, then executing them for being profitable.

But Stalin <—> bo, so no surprise.

Well, there goes my business model for “Wetback Industries”. It was supposed to specialize in construction/demolition/landscaping/hauling and similar activities. I was going to sell local franchises.

May I just take an aside for a moment and ask why the **** we even have a National Labor Relations Board?

So is the EPA. For 20 years they tried everything they could think of to force us to sell our small, independent water company.

...the main corporation using the services of these subcontractors or leasing out franchise rights can be forced into union negotiations (and sued) relating to the employees of other companies and for things which take place totally outside of their control.
IOW, subcontractors will be hired based on whether their employees are unionized -- further crushing the prospects for unionized employees. That's part of the Democratic Party plan -- no organizations (unions, churches, PACs, the Boy Scouts) will be tolerated in their future Single Party State.

A perfect opportunity for a GOP presidential candidate to sweep in with a rollback proposal.

But given Trump’s long experience with unions, would he do that? And are the actions of any of the other candidates even relevant at this moment?

Just another bureaucracy gone wild. Nothing to see here. Move along!
As demonstrated in this under 4 minute video...(drum roll!)
PERPETUAL MOTION HAS FINALLY BEEN ACHIEVED!!
And, wonder of wonders, GOVERNMENT has done it!
Every living organism is driven by two primal instincts: Self preservation and reproduction (sex).  The sex part probably explains why so many well compensated (OXYMORON ALERT!) “GOVERNMENT WORKERS” spend hours a day watching porn on their taxpayer furnished computers.  
The self preservation thing can be observed each and every election when huge numbers of these “government workers” repair to the polls to vote for the candidates (virtually ALWAYS Democrats) promising to, at worst, do nothing to cut the numbers of “government workers” or, at best (which is most often the case),  INCREASE the numbers of “government workers”.  
VOILA:  PERPETUAL MOTION IS A REALITY!!
Now, if you are not happy about this, please ask yourself which of the candidates for president all the way down to your local town council will shove a large monkey wrench into this freedom destroying, bankruptcy producing juggernaut to HELL then support him or her.
Better hurry.  We’re about out of time!
(Here endeth the personal rant!)
And, yes, this HAS been around before but watch it again as a refresher!

“”I was going to sell local franchises.””

You’ve never heard - strike while the iron is hot?

That will teach you to procrastinate....

“...That will teach you to procrastinate.......”

I learned a lot from my previous franchise effort, One of These Days. I had a lot of interest. But I never got all the paperwork together and no one was in a real hurry to sign up.
