On the recordMarch 5, 2013
I certainly agree with the Senator from Utah, and that is the purpose of our legislation. We could offer more examples. The Wall Street Journal article of February 22 of this year said: Many franchisees of Burger King, McDonalds, Red Lobster, KFC, Dunkin' Donuts and Taco Bell have started to cut back on full-time employment, though many are terrified to talk on the record. These are the kinds of companies I was talking about. The article also references a 2011 Hudson Institute study that estimates the employer mandate will cost the franchise industry $6.4 billion and put 3.2 million jobs at risk.
