Meanwhile, McD (via Deloitte) is monitoring our prices and not allowing price increases over the market averages, REGARDLESS of the local conditions in Operator patches!
This is PRICE FIXING ! Where is the FTC???
You can not use a one size fits all approach. Corporate is deaf to us.

The FTC is in Washington, D.C., oblivious to what's going on in McDonald's.
... On a slightly different topic. The new acting attorney general of the USA just held a press conference. I wasn't taking notes, but he said something to the effect of, "If you find fraud in Medicare, let us know."
The FTC isn't reading all the McDonald's memos or keeping an eye on the NFLA. They don't attend BU meetings and won't be at the WWC.
It's up to citizens and businesses to inform the government of possible wrongdoing.

The NFLA is afraid of speaking up on this. Useless.

Since the NFLA wont report this, the NOA should take the lead and report to the FTC the corporate over reach, and price fixing!

The NOA started out telling prospective members that they weren't forming to launch a lawsuit. Of course, a few years later, they retained Robert Zarco. Maybe the leadership feels that challenging an issue through the FTC is too much like a lawsuit?

$9.2 million and only 3000 U.S.locations. Lots of room to grow.

Report them and say no to the recommendations. The loss of profit has to stop

As an anonymous o/o commented in the recent Kalinowski survey:

* “I see a lot of civil disobedience and conflict in the future.”

The NOA has been strangely silent since Chairman Bear retired. What gives? Who is the new Chairman?
