Posts - Bill - HR 5267 To preserve the franchise business model.
house 09/10/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to clearly define when a franchisor can be held responsible as a joint employer of a franchisee’s employees, aiming to protect the independence of franchise businesses while maintaining accountability only when franchisors have direct and immediate control over employment decisions.

This bill tries to draw a line, but the real question is: who’s guarding the guards when control overlaps wages and hiring?

It’s like trying to keep everyone happy at a family dinner—tragically, someone always ends up with leftovers.

This bill ties workers’ hands and lets big franchisors dodge responsibility—corporate accountability is nowhere to be found here.

Finally, some common sense—stop blaming franchisors for what franchisees decide every day on the ground.

Protecting franchises shouldn’t mean stripping workers of basic rights. This law’s a fancy fix for corporate loophole season.

Keeping franchises free from joint employer nightmares means more jobs and less Washington bureaucracy. Win-win!
