Behind Big Macs, a hidden drama over corporate control and franchising
NEW YORK, N.Y. - Behind those Big Macs and Whoppers is a hidden drama over corporate control.
The fast-food industry is underpinned by an often tense relationship between companies like McDonald's and Burger King and the franchisees who run their restaurants. Few customers think about this when scarfing down burgers.
Around the country, union organizers are pushing to make McDonald's take responsibility for how workers are treated at its franchised restaurants. And in California, a bill could soon give all franchisees greater protections, including stricter rules on when companies can terminate their agreements.
The moves highlight the tensions in a business model that has long been considered an attractive way to start a business. In exchange for an upfront investment and ongoing fees, aspiring business owners get to capitalize on popular brands people trust. To protect their images, companies dictate terms like kitchen equipment, worker uniforms and menu offerings.
The problem, franchisee advocates say, is that companies can strip franchisees of their livelihoods for violating any contract terms, even if minor. That can leave franchisees feeling powerless and afraid to speak up.
"It's scary. People are kowtowed and they're worried," said Peter Lagarias, a lawyer in San Rafael, California, who represents franchisees.
The California bill would amend a law to require companies to show there was a "substantial and material" breach before terminating a contract. An existing state law allows termination for "good cause," which can be any violation of the contract.
It would also require companies to give a franchisee back their business or compensate them for its value if a contract was wrongfully terminated. As it stands, companies only have to pay franchisees for store inventory, which would be a fraction of that amount.
Gov. Jerry Brown has not indicated whether he plans to sign the bill, which was passed by California's senate and assembly. He has until the end of September.
The International Franchise Association, which is backed by companies including McDonald's, says the bill would result in "countless frivolous lawsuits" and is unnecessary because franchisees can sue if they feel they've been treated unfairly. It notes franchisees are given 30 days to fix violations before a contract can be terminated.
McDonald's, which owns 19 per cent of its more than 35,000 restaurants around the world and around 10 per cent of those in the U.S., says the California bill could weaken a franchiser's ability to enforce standards.
Kathryn Slater-Carter, a McDonald's owner in California, said she spearheaded the bill after McDonald's decided not to renew the franchise agreement and lease on one of her two restaurants. She said McDonald's cited her husband's failure to attend meetings for not renewing the agreement, even though only she was required to attend. That left her unable to sell the business, which she estimates was worth $2 million.
"If they can do this to me, they can do this to anyone," she said.
McDonald's spokeswoman Lisa McComb said Slater-Carter's agreement and lease simply expired and that the company was not able to reach an agreement on a new lease with the landlord.
While the California bill hinges largely on a franchiser's right to enforce standards, companies are seeking to maintain a line of separation with their franchisees on another front.
Labour organizers are pushing to hold McDonald's accountable for working conditions at restaurants, citing the control the company exerts over franchisees. Both McDonald's and its franchisees have been named in lawsuits on behalf of workers.
Last month, union organizers won a victory when the National Labor Relations Board said McDonald's could be named as a joint employer in charges filed on behalf of workers over unfair labour practices. McDonald's said it will fight the decision and that it has no control over employment decisions at franchised restaurants.
The Service Employees International Union also is backing the California bill.
Many states have no laws regarding the termination of franchisee agreements, and the ones that do vary in the protections they provide. That can leave franchisees at the mercy of contracts, which often put all the power in the hands of companies, franchisee advocates say.
Corporate cultures vary, of course, with some companies exerting more control than others, said Robert Purvin, CEO of the American Association of Franchisees and Dealers in Palm Desert, California. At Subway, for instance, franchisees are in charge of buying supplies, so they know the company isn't marking up prices for cold cuts and lettuce.
Companies also often have advisory councils to give franchisees a voice. Still, there are bound to be disagreements given the nature of the business model. Value menus are a good example.
Franchisers like Wendy's get a percentage of restaurant sales no matter what. Franchisees, by contrast, have to think about ingredient costs and worry low prices can eat into their profits. The friction can lead to disputes that land in court.
In 2009, Burger King franchisees sued the company over a $1 double cheeseburger they said they were losing money on. The suit was settled after 3G Capital bought the chain and worked to mend fractured relations with franchisees. The price of the burger has since gone up.
In other cases, franchisees have leeway on corporate decisions.
Don Sniegowski, who runs the franchisee site BlueMauMau.com, recalled a plan by Dunkin' Donuts two summers ago to sell bananas by cash registers to create a more healthful image. Not all franchisees liked the idea, noting bananas could attract flies and drive up costs. The company went ahead with it anyway.
A Dunkin' Donuts spokeswoman, Tessa Lueth, declined to say how many locations have adopted the program, but said bananas are seen in "a large and growing number" of stores.
In general, franchisees are better at running restaurants than companies since they have more invested in the business, said Jonathan Maze, editor of Restaurant Finance Monitor. Sometimes companies sell restaurants back to franchisees to boost their own performance.
Burger King, for instance, has been refranchising its company-owned restaurants to reduce costs and create a more stable revenue stream from franchisee fees. It's also striking franchising deals to open more locations around the world. The strategy helped Burger King nearly double its profit last year, even though sales rose just 0.5 per cent at established locations.

Goldman fails to dismiss Prudential mortgage fraud lawsuit
* Prudential alleged losses on more then $375 mln RMBS
* Fraud, racketeering claims allowed to proceed
* Goldman, Prudential decline to comment
By Jonathan Stempel
April 9 (Reuters) - Goldman Sachs Group Inc must face a lawsuit in which Prudential Financial Inc accused the Wall Street bank of defrauding it into buying more than $375 million of residential mortgage-backed securities it knew were unsafe.
U.S. District Judge Susan Wigenton in Prudential's hometown of Newark, New Jersey said the second-largest U.S. life insurer adequately alleged Goldman's deception about the quality of certificates that several Prudential affiliates had bought from 16 securitizations between February 2004 and December 2008.
She rejected Goldman's argument that Prudential, being "among the most highly sophisticated participants in the RMBS market and part of a conglomerate long immersed in the nation's housing industry," sued in a pique of "buyer's remorse," and relied too much on unsupported assumptions.
Like many other U.S. commercial and investment banks, Goldman has been the target of many lawsuits over its packaging and sale of risky mortgage-linked securities, whose rapid decline in value was a cause of the 2008 financial crisis.
Bank defendants have often argued that plaintiffs such as Prudential knew enough to understand what they were buying.
Wigenton nonetheless allowed Prudential to pursue accusations that Goldman committed fraud, negligent misrepresentation and racketeering violations.
Prudential's 188-page complaint was originally filed in August 2012, and sought to recover the insurer's losses or rescind the certificate purchases.
It drew in part on Congressional and other investigations over Goldman's role in the financial crisis.
"To use Goldman's own words, the certificates it sold to Prudential were, 'junk,' 'dogs,' 'crap,' and 'lemons,'" the insurer said, citing documents revealed in these probes.
In her decision, Wigenton said Prudential had adequately alleged that Goldman had abandoned its underwriting guidelines, and could not have done proper due diligence without finding a "very high percentage" of the underlying loans did not comply.
"The court finds that plaintiffs adequately pled a cause of action for fraud," Wigenton wrote.
Goldman spokesman Michael DuVally declined to comment. Prudential spokesman Scot Hoffman declined to comment.
The case is Prudential Insurance Co of America et al v. Goldman Sachs & Co et al, U.S. District Court, District of New Jersey, No. 12-06590.

Meehan joins Western Force coaching staff

Former Bath boss Steve Meehan has joined the Western Force as the Super Rugby side's attack coach for the 2013 Super Rugby season.
The Australian, who parted company with Bath last year after a five-year stint at The Rec, joins head coach Michael Foley, forwards coach Nick Stiles and former Queensland Reds strategist and kicking coach Phillip Fowler in a new-look set-up in Perth that was confirmed today.
Foley was delighted to acquire Meehan's services as he looks to conjure a turnaround in fortunes for the under-performing franchise. He said: "We said that we were going to recruit the best attack coach available and that's exactly what we've done. With our focus on attacking and dynamic rugby, we're fortunate to bring in someone with the experience and expertise of Steve (Meehan).
"His record at Stade Francais and Bath speaks for itself; he was able to implement a game style that players loved playing, that fans loved watching and that ultimately brought success. We have a similar goal for the side in 2013."
Meehan, who led Bath to their first trophy for 10 years in 2008 when he guided the side to European Challenge Cup glory, will be tasked with improving a record that saw the Force finish second to last in the Australian Conference earlier this year.
The team is also facing a period of transition having lost former head coach Richard Graham to the Reds mid-season while the squad is also set for an overhaul following the retirement of second row stalwart Nathan Sharpe and the departure of flanker David Pocock who has moved to the Brumbies.

This afternoon, the Tampa Sports Authority will get its first look at the details on options for improving Tampa Stadium. The architectural firm of Hellmuth, Obala & Kassabaum (HOK) will include in its presentation the first-ever look at the option of reconstruction, according to Danielson & Banks of the ST. PETERSBURG TIMES. The reconstruction would be similar to how the Jaguars prepared the Gator Bowl for their inaugural season in the NFL, a job also done by HOK. Costs would be higher than renovating, but cheaper than building a new stadium. Danielson & Banks report that new Bucs Owner Malcolm Glazer has made his desires clear on what it will take to keep the Bucs in Tampa: "more luxury suites, the addition of club seats and roomier, nicer seats throughout the rest of the stands." The decision on which option to pursue will depend not only on cost, but also on how long work would take. Glazer's sons Bryan and Joel will attend the briefing, but both declined to comment on the stadium options (Danielson & Banks, ST. PETERSBURG TIMES, 5/9).

Starkey Inc. providing product support for Justin McClure's Launch Laser
Send this to a friend
Starkey Inc. is helping Justin McClure ramp up sales and production of his Launch Laser training device for baseball and softball players.
Starkey's employment services division provides people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities with job opportunities.
Among the tasks Starkey clients are charged with for McClure are testing, packaging and distribution. The work is being done at Starkey's main location at 4500 W. Maple.
The number of people working on the project at any one time depends on Launch Laser's volume of orders.
McClure kicked off Launch Laser in earnest earlier this year. The device attaches to a bat and uses a small laser to train the batter to perfect his or her stance.
McClure says he has been impressed with Starkey's willingness to help with Launch Laser. He sees working with Starkey as a way to give back to the community while creating jobs at the same time.
I spoke with McClure about Starkey's involvement with Launch Laser on Tuesday as he was en route to the College World Series in Omaha.
McClure, who also owns Justin McClure Creative, will spend a few days there marketing and selling the Launch Laser, which originated when he was trying to help his son, Bradyn, transition from tee-ball to live pitching. McClure's product is also being featured at baseball tournaments around the country in conjunction with MLB.com. He says the Launch Laser will be featured at about 190 tournaments around the country over the next four months. McClure says he's sold about 1,000 units so far. The Launch Laser sells for $49.99.
Starkey Inc. isn't the only area company McClure is working with on his new product. S and Y Industries in Winfield, for example, has helped him find ways to improve the product and make it easier to manufacture.

A Hamilton MP lauded a veteran campaigner fighting the evils of alcohol before voting against a bill aimed at putting warning labels on alcohol.
Tim Macindoe, National MP for Hamilton West, praised Cliff Turner in Parliament on Thursday night for his 30-year campaign against liquor advertising before voting with his party against Hamilton-based Labour list MP Sue Moroney's supplementary order to amend National's Alcohol Reform Bill.
Ms Moroney wanted warning labels on the dangers of foetal alcohol syndrome made mandatory on alcoholic drinks, as well as nutritional information so that people could see what they were putting into their bodies.
Pregnant women are advised to drink no alcohol as it can cause brain damage to the baby, stunt foetal growth and cause other physical defects.
Her amendments were defeated by three votes, 61 to 58.
Ms Moroney, speaking to her amendments in Parliament, accused Mr Macindoe of crying crocodile tears over the issue and urged him to put his money where his mouth was.
"Will he do that? . . . How he votes will show whether he is genuine about the issues . . . I am tired of hearing members of the Government go out in the public to try and sound like they are addressing the issue in the most comprehensive way [yet] when they come to Parliament they vote against very sensible and practical measures to actually fix the very issues that they claim to be concerned about."
Mr Macindoe, who spoke ahead of Ms Moroney in the House and left before she spoke, accused her of "a lot of spin" and wanting "five minutes in the sun".
"As far as I am concerned I have put my money where my mouth is," he said.
Mr McIndoe's own amendment, to raise the age of legal purchase of alcohol from 18 to 20, was defeated in August despite support from Ms Moroney.
If it had been passed, he said, Ms Moroney's aims would have been met.
However, changing labels would breach an agreement New Zealand had with Australia.
Mr Turner said he was disgusted with National's stance, which overturned the amendments by a few votes, and he had lost respect for Mr Mcindoe.
"It makes me wonder what type of person can vote against a proposal that would have cost the taxpayer nothing," Mr Turner said. "There are hundreds of children born every year effected by their mother's choice to drink while she was pregnant. But National is more concerned about the health of the liquor industry rather than the health of the nation."
David Bennett, National's member for Hamilton East, also voted against Ms Moroney's supplementary order by proxy because he was out of town.
When asked by the Times what he thought of Ms Moroney's proposal he said: "What was her amendment again?"
He said he had voted with his party because the amendment had been through the committee process and not been backed there.

European Commission says Motorola Mobility abused market position
April 29, 2014 - 17:29 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - The European Commission said Monday, April 28, that Google's Motorola Mobility abused its market position in Europe by refusing to grant crucial technology licenses to rival Apple, then suing Apple for patent infringement when the company used them anyway, the Associated Press reports.
Separately, Samsung settled a case where it had tried to use its patents to block Apple from bringing a phone to market. But neither company was slapped with a fine.
At a press conference, the Commission's chief competition authority, Joaquin Almunia, said that's because it can be difficult to determine when a company has the right to protect its patents — which drive innovation — and when a dominant company is wielding the power a patent gives them to stifle competition and harm consumers.
"We are trying to trike the right balance" between patent holder rights and competition rules, Almunia said in Brussels, where the Commission, the European Union's executive arm, is based. "The Motorola case set up the framework we think should be followed."
Almunia said the dividing line should be when patents have become an industry standard.
In those cases, if someone wanting to use a patent agrees to pay "fair and reasonable terms" to use it, the holder must agree. In Motorola and other cases, disagreements about what's fair should be referred to arbitration — not used right away to block someone else from bringing a product to market.
Ultimately, however, companies may still decide to sue each other over patent infringement, as Apple, Samsung and others have been doing in courts around the world for several years.
Samsung agreed Tuesday not to try to seek injunctions against competitors for five years in Europe, and to submit future disagreements to arbitration along the lines Almunia suggested.
Google is in the process of selling Motorola to China's Lenovo.

|Switchfoot's new album debuts atop 'Billboard' chart
|Written by Jeremy Burns
|Thursday, 23 January 2014 04:07 PM EST
Switchfoot's Fading West (Atlantic Records/Word Distribution) debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Christian/Gospel chart, as well as hitting No. 2 on the overall Rock Album chart and No. 6 in the Top 200. The new album, which hit stores Jan. 14, has already passed the high mark set by the band's 2011 album, Vice Verses, which peaked at No. 8 on the Top 200 chart.
Two hit singles from the album—"Who We Are" and "Love Alone Is Worth the Fight"—as well as the band's recently released Fading West feature film, are helping to fuel the new album's success. The film is currently available on video-on-demand platforms in the U.S. and offers behind-the-scenes footage of the band on- and offstage, including scenes of band members surfing—the pastime from which Switchfoot derives its name.
The band will launch a full U.S. tour on Feb. 20 in support of the new album.

http://drivencarreviews.com/ Infiniti could have copied BMW or Mercedes
like so many have before, but they've clearly taken their own road with the
M37 S. It delivers the stuff needed to play in this market, the only thing
missing are enlightened buyers. Tom Voelk follows a BMW 7 Series in

What i ahve to say about the 2013 M37: The M got resdesinged in 2011 and
while it's still a decent car it may not be the best. It offers a variety
of powertrains ranging from a V6, a Hybrid, and a V8. Infiniti has been
slipping a little on their material quality, but this car seems to be in
very good shape. The M is a very comfortable car as well and the dash is a
nice conservative styling point. The exterior is also stylish with nice HID
Headlamps and LED Tailamps with a nice bulbous front end. The M is still a
great car, but the Lexus GS offers more luxury features and has been
redesigned for 2013 and it has better fuel economy, it also offers a Hybrid
too all at the same price as the M. Like Camerons Car Reviews Facebook Page

Roadfly.com - 2011 Infiniti M56 Road Test & Review
Beautifully sleek and curvaceous, the 2011 Infiniti M56 is an exciting and
luxurious ride. Infiniti has lengthened this year's models dimensions,
increasing the length, height and width overall. Its new powerful engine
and flowing redesign are all intact from the 2010 model as well. Roadfly TV
and host Ross Rapoport took a good look at the M56 and they were very
Under the hood the Infiniti boasts some true and surprising power. The M56
has a 5.6-liter V8 engine that produces 420 horsepower and gets 417
pound-feet of torque. This impressive feat lets the M get to 60 mph in a
time of roughly 4.9 seconds. The seven-speed automatic transmission is
flawless, shifting gears with a fluid ease, making great use out of all 420
Inside, the Infiniti shines. The dash and interior materials are made from
Japanese ash wood, giving a the M56 a unique and timeless aesthetic.
Comfortability and luxury are not a problem here.
Altogether the Infiniti M56, sold as the Nissan Fuga in Japan, is a
seductive competitor to such European hallmarks as the BMW 5-Series or the
Mercedes-Benz E550 and is hot on their heels in terms of desirability and
driving enthusiasm. Drivers seeking a classy and distinguished alternative
to the European market would do well to take a close look at the M56.

Three families will be breathing a sigh of relief after the draw for the Teams Champs was announced on Tuesday.
With a record 13 teams entered for the 33rd national teams champs at Arena Manawatu, starting tomorrow night, there was always the chance of the Palmerston North Panthers and the Manawatu Mustangs being drawn to face each other.
Fortunately they can't meet until Saturday's semifinals, which three families will be smiling about.
The Miers, Rees and Joblin families make up seven of the 10 drivers in the two teams. Scott Miers and Peter Rees will continue their reign with the Panthers while sons Jack Miers and Asher Rees debut for the Mustangs.
Scott Joblin is in the Panthers with brothers, Simon and Adam, in the Mustangs.
The Panthers have drawn the Stratford Scrappers and Wellington Wildcats; teams they should beat comfortably.
The Mustangs meet the seeded Rotorua Rebels in what should be a close battle, while the Mustangs should be too strong for the Waikato Wanderers.
Likely the most anticipated clash will see Rotorua face the returning Baypark Busters. With most of ther Baypark drivers contracted to Rotorua, there's no love lost between the teams or their fans.
The seeded Great Britain Lions have a tough first up clash against the hard-charging Wanganui Warriors, but should beat the Auckland Allstars comfortably.
The Panthers' sternest opposition in recent years, the Nelson Tigers, have an interesting first race against the Canterbury Glen Eagles led by Malcolm Ngatai. They should deal with the Hawke's Bay Hawkeyes easily.
The top four points scorers from tomorrow's qualifying will meet in Saturday's semifinals.

Erik Arnesen and Eric Surkamp hooked up in a pitcher's duel with the Senators breaking through first in a big way. Bill Rhinehart blasted a three-run home run in the fourth inning for the Sens first hit putting Harrisburg up 3-0. But the lead didn't even last the fourth inning when Richmond came right back with three runs of their own. Surkamp with a two-run two-single to tie the game.
From there, the Sens would muster just two more hits in the game. Chris McConnell doubled with one-out In the fifth and Rhinehart singled off the left-field wall with two outs in the sixth.
Arnesen finished going six innings and striking out eight. Losing pitcher Carlos Martinez pitched 1.2 innings and allowed two hits in the ninth, including the game winning single off the bat of Roger Kieschnick. Surkamp struck out 12 Sens, a season-high for him.
The final game of the four-game series is Monday at noon. The Sens send RH Shairon Martis to the hill against RH Daryl Maday for Richmond. The game can be heard on 1460am The Ticket, on the Internet through the Senators website, and on your ipad or iphone beginning at 11:45am.

Residents of Prince William County, Virginia occasionally see a Yugo driving about. Each time I pass it, I am tempted to flag down the driver and ask him what he does when the car needs repairs. I wonder how many (or better yet, how few) are still on the American road.
The Yugo also inspired some good jokes. "Why does a Yugo have a rearwindow defogger? To keep your hands warm when you're pushing it in the winter."
Never had a Yugo but my dad did have a Wartburg. Not the most powerful of cars, perhaps, but I have a great deal of respect for an engine with only seven moving parts. Four spanners were enough to keep one on the road for ever.
Until I came in North America, I thought the butt joke was on trabant, the 7 meters car, two of body and 5 of smoke. But then I heard about the Ford Pinto, the car that had the good habit of catching fire...
Also, dacia is not such a bad car nowadays, under renault, its granddady.
I remember as a child one of my neighbours had the infamous Wartburg, a car so bad it even managed to break down while going downhill.
It is strange to read the name Skoda along with Traband, Yugo and the Lada. But while the others have disappeared as bad examples of four wheelers, the Skoda has had an image make over and technology upgradation to be a winner. The Skoda Octavias, Lauras and the Superb happen to vie with the Suzukis, Fords, Toyotas and even the Mecedes here in India. I suppose some learn the lessons, and some don't.///
While I am not sure of the American market, Canada did see many a Lada sold up here, whether it be the Fiat design, or the wee 4x4 that proved quite popular for many years. Skoda was also available in the Eighties, and while I never saw a dealership, the occasional Aro (Romania) 4x4's could be found here.
Is that maybe typical american, to make a parody of things from another country?
Similar comments I could hear from american tourists on a bus tour in India when they were looking around on all exotic things in that country.
Yugo was maybe not the best car around at that time but it was a serious trial from a small country and also a "bench marking" to test its value on a big market and its ability to compete.
You cannot find that many american brands/cars selling 100000 vehicles in a foreign market? Of course the american cars are the very best if you count kg of junk to the dollar. You also need a huge engine to move the scrap around and therefore you also need a lot of gasoline. They are also very comfortable when you go straight.
Maybe the next book from Virginia will tell the fantastic success story selling Cadillacs around the world? It did not work too well even when you took a SAAB that is lighter, more safe, much faster and more beautiful and put the Cadillac sign on it?
The Yugo had the advantage of being easy to park. One evening in SF, four of us were driving around in SF when the driver spotted a parking spot. There was no way to maneuver into the spot so the four of us simply lifted the car and moved it into the spot.

To celebrate the world's first digital orchestra staying in sync with Skype, Microsoft features a video showing an array of MacBooks. A new Redmond?
Microsoft is beta testing a version of Skype that will work from a variety of browsers, and which ultimately will alleviate the need for Skype app or plug-in downloads.
