Welcome to the Franchise Labor Compliance page, a resource for franchise business owners looking to learn more about current labor and workforce challenges, including best practices for compliance and communication strategies with your employees. These resources will help managers, supervisors, and employers understand their rights, responsibilities, and legal restrictions when facing a union organizing campaign:
Sit at a table with 8-10 of your fellow attendees and share ideas, challenges and solutions focused on a specific topic assigned to that table. This is an opportunity to have an open forum discussion with a small group of your peers to discuss mistakes, lessons learned and success stories. Everyone participates at the table to get the most out of the discussions which are led by franchise experts. Please refer to the MITcon Mobile App for up-to-date table topic and facilitator information.

While economists continuously debate the actual number, there have been as many as 47 economic recessions in the United States’ history. While the consensus amongst economists is that these occurrences are cyclical, every recession is different and is caused by a variety of factors and forces including dependence on agriculture, trade, housing and banking industries, among others. Our most recent economic downturn, what many now refer to as the “Great Recession,” originated as a result of the subprime mortgage crisis leading to the collapse of the “housing bubble.” Today, nearly 13 years later, global economists are predicting yet another recession to hit in the next year or two, due to the protracted trade war with China.
