"McDonald's and every company that relies on a franchise business model suffered the legal setback they've been fearing."

"The Democrat board, whose members were appointed by President Barack Obama, ruled along partisan lines, with the two Republicans dissenting."

" The case grew out of an effort by the Teamsters." (excerpted)

An inlaw of mine is a rabid Obamite.

Such stupidity is disgusting.

Roy Croc (the founder of that toxic fast food chain) and his heirs are/were Democrats and heavy Democrat donors.

The idea that McDonalds says “They wear our uniform but they are not our employee” has always been bogus.

If you will not grant a fundamental freedom to your worst enemy, you will sooner or later find yourself without it too. What goes around comes around.

They license a brand and standards. McDonalds never paid for those uniforms.

Soon a Big Mac will be on sale for just $15 each; $20 with fries.

McDonald’s is not the only franchise that will bear the brunt of this regulation people! This will destroy the model of franchise enterprising by increasing the legal ramifications throughout the country for local (individual owners) actions. It is an expansion of Federal regulations to the detriment of local governance. It is furthermore, a boon to trial lawyers and unions!

Like liberals to think they can fiddle with any business parameter and still leave the enterprise viable.

This will end up closing a bunch of McDonaldses and similar enterprises.

A people still think that Obama has good intentions.

"Well," they'll say, "You know, he tries, he really tries. It's a shame what his people are doin'. If he only knew!"

"why does not congress get to pass block these laws burdensome and costly regulations?

Laws are now being dictated through the regulations of the federal agencies.

Welcome to your next burger prepared by an SEIU or Teamsters employee. Oh, and don’t forget the surcharges for the Shop Steward and featherbedding work rules.

This is a Free Fire Zone regulation for Lawyers and Union thugs. Give it enough time and most of our great variety in fast food will either disappear or else resemble school cafeteria food.

Why not - some folks still think "the other guy" would have been 'every bit as bad as Obama"....
