Recent public comments by one Applebee’s franchisee about the possible implications of the ACA on jobs within his individual company were not the views or opinions of either Applebee’s or other franchisees, although we respect his right to speak freely as an American.

HA!

Because final regulations and guidance are still pending from government agencies regarding the Affordable Care Act (ACA), exactly how our franchisees will implement the law when it takes effect in 2014 is still uncertain. However, we do know that our franchisees will comply fully with the law and take every measure possible to continue doing right by their employees — the lifeblood of their businesses. Applebee’s franchisees have always led their companies as responsible, caring employers, and implementation of the new law will be consistent with that commitment.

HAHAHAHA

I mentioned elsewhere ....

quote:

I thought he resigned as CEO.

Mr. Tankel is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business. On February 23, 2011, effective as of the effective time of the Merger, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Zane Tankel resigned from the Company’s board of directors.

So he is CEO of his own franchise... Apple Metro

Zane Tankel, chairman and CEO of Apple-Metro, told Fox Business Network on Thursday.

Apple-Metro, which runs 40 Applebee's restaurants, employs from 80 to 300 people at each of its locations.

Applebees has 1900 stores nationwide... so lets not get all this confused.

This could, potentially, cause him problems depending on his franchise agreement.

Someone could lose his franchise if he doesnt play along.... which will be how he gets out of the situation his big mouth got him into.

I love this. The power of the people.

Again, right wing employers can bellyache all they want. You can't exploit people, engage in illegal activity, and expect honest, decent Americans to do nothing in response.

I am seriously getting tired of right wingers, most of whom are very affluent, claiming they can't afford ACA.

And yes, the best response to people like this is boycott. Hit them where it hurts. And funny how very quickly they come running back. Their so-called "convictions" are worthless. The moment anything affects their pocketbook, they flip-flop like nobody's business. Is it any wonder the rest of us look at people like that and shake our heads? They don't believe in anything but the mighty dollar. It is impossible to respect people like that. They do not care about other people.

What some dont realize is that once you purchase a franchise, they can still take it back.
