# This is the thing they can't just sack them all at once, it's too obvious.
All they have to do is withdraw the franchise licence (they don't need to give any reason for donig that). They branch closes and they've effectively sacked everyone.

# Isn't business wonderful.
I believe the same law was/is used by call-centres (amongst many others) to avoid giving people permanent jobs with benefits.

# They pretty much own the US government.
I remember reading about ten years ago that all the directors were prosecuted as they made it policy to employ underaged staff (under 16).
They were all found guilty and fined $2 each. Then the next year the law magically changed that if you work for a fast food outlet the you only have to be over 14 and have a lower minimum was that those of uver 16.

# Anyone with enough money can own the US government.
Whether by buying a senator, president or just a court.
