Anyone seen the actual statement from the FAC chairs? I just keep seeing quotes. Terrible representation by them.

The following statement is from McDonald's franchisee leaders across the country:
“We firmly believe McDonald’s is at our best when we’re united across all three ‘legs of the stool’ – the company, franchisees, and suppliers – and we know the vast majority of our fellow 2,000+ U.S. franchisees agree. We recognize the power of McDonald’s brand, the remarkable strength of our business and the massive opportunity ahead. We’re disappointed that a small but vocal group is pushing this counterproductive agenda, which threatens our business model and the livelihoods of future generations of franchisees “

The 10 FAC TRAITORS who signed this garbage without a vote of their constituients should be shunned and avoided by REAL OWNERS

Unbelievable!! This should help the people on the fence about NOA membership that think the company is still “somewhat” honest and cares about them personally. That they would even say such a boldface lie is actually hard to believe.

FAC? How would they ever have the audacity to speak on our behalf? They do not represent anything other then the inexperienced marketing and finance idiots that are now McDonald's Field Officers. I Hope they enjoy meeting with the Company Staff as every Business Unit, Co-Op, NFLA and NOA group need to excommunicate them. How dare you speak on our behalf without even asking the operator body. Again devious Operators trying to get more restaurants by kissing the corporations butt.
