Re: Subway franchise taught the power of worker solidarity

SUBWAY IN THE NEWS Brought to you by ScamsRus featuring BendoveritsFred your favorite gangsta! The Subway Restaurant Chain continues to lead the QSR industry in newsworthy firsts. So just how has BendoveritsFred achieved so many of these incredible milestones? A firm commitment to plunder, the need for greed, and far reaching fraud! Subway Was The First Chain in the QSR Industry to: * Be called one of the key examples of every abuse you can think of by USSBC. * Cause more law suits than all major competitors combined according, to FTC. * Be sued by over 14,500 franchisees, each one claiming they were defrauded. * Be labeled the biggest problem in franchising by US House of Representatives. * Raise royalty fees to the highest ever recorded in the food franchise industry. * Push encroachment to a new high, forcing store revenues to lowest in 14 years. * Break the 20% record for stores abandoned by owners, up 300% since 1993. * Target mainly immigrants as new franchisees because they are easy to defraud. * Charge double royalty fees for any store out of compliance (over $4,500 / mo!) * Be charged with far-reaching fraud by an Illinois court over a shell corp. scam. * Enact the 3 strikes you're out rule, giving Subway the right to seize your store. * Attempt to steal back the advertising fund permanently vested to franchisees. * Launch a mass royalty theft crusade labeling owners with shrinkage as thieves. * Watch their corporate legal beagle Lenny the AX barred from practicing law. * Be refused Small Business Administration loans until they stop seizing stores. * Force franchisees to cry "Do I have to bend over again, Fred? My butt's sore!" For all your hard work and dedication in achieving these monumental goals, we're proud to present our favorite gangsta BendoveritsFred with the coveted golden finger award. Keep up the good work. Now bend over.
