I want to talk a little bit about the
National Labor Relations Board has gone
down the path of trying to make
franchisors and franchisees joint
employers and it is god I want to say
it's so insulting as a person I feel in
an entrepreneur I have chosen to invest
in a tool that is the franchise that
gives me great training gives me a great
brand and and gives me support maybe
some outside interests are trying to do
is to make me in to try to diminish what
I do and call it it make me a contract
Sales Manager basically I'm responsible
for sales in this territory that's not
what I set out to do and I put too much
blood sweat tears and my own money in
and I think it may every bit the end
contra preneur than anybody else is I
would say my business is bigger because
it's a franchise I have over 200
employees that count on me and my
business to employ them and to get them
out in that world and i-iv threat to the
eight years of work I've put in you know
if it were to become a joint employer
probably immediately devalue my business
I can't imagine how someone would want
to call me a joint employer I am an
employee of bright star and bright star
franchising and I think they're a
wonderful organization I appreciate what
I basically buy from them however
they're a wonderful supplier of the
think of things that I need but I run my
own business I'm local I'm individually
owned and operated I am embedded in this
community and I take those tools and I
use them to better serve my locals my
local clients and customers
