McDonald's Corporation Research Reports
On July 29, 2014, McDonald's Corporation (McDonald's) released a statement following the NLRB's decision, hinting to contest the allegation regarding joint employer relationship of the Company with its franchisees. Heather Smedstad, Senior Vice President Human Resources, McDonald's USA, stated, "This decision to allow unfair labor practice complaints to allege that McDonald's is a joint employer with its franchisees is wrong. McDonald's will contest this allegation in the appropriate forum. McDonald's also believes that this decision changes the rules for thousands of small businesses, and goes against decades of established law regarding the franchise model in the United States. McDonald's, as well as every other company involved in franchising, relies on these existing rules to run successful businesses as part of a system that every day creates significant employment, entrepreneurial and economic opportunities across the country. McDonald's does not direct or co-determine the hiring, termination, wages, hours, or any other essential terms and conditions of employment of our franchisees' employees - which are the well-established criteria governing the definition of a "joint employer."
