In this week’s episode, Align Public Strategies discusses a proposal in New York City that could deeply impact more than 700 brands, from restaurants to retailers. The proposal's sweeping language points directly at the franchisor and franchisee business model and would make franchisors liable for the actions of their franchisees.
The Align team also details how The Cheesecake Factory got pulled into a $4.57 million wage theft case in California and why other business operators should prepare for that kind of scrutiny as well as the legislative scorecard with top policy items and developments from around the country.
