Job Creators Network Supports Bipartisan American Franchise Act

Alfredo Ortiz, CEO of Job Creators Network, released the following statement in support of the bipartisan American Franchise Act currently before Congress:

“The franchise system is a key pillar of America’s small business economy. It has allowed millions of people from all backgrounds to live the American Dream, become financially independent, and give back to their communities. Congress should pass the bipartisan American Franchise Act to protect this business model from regulatory death under a Democrat administration.”

“The legislation would codify the longstanding practice that franchisees are small business owners, not joint employers with their corporate parent. The joint employer standard issued by Presidents Obama and Biden would essentially turn franchisees into store managers of giant corporations. The American Franchise Act will ensure the dynamic and successful franchise model continues for generations to come.”
