In a major win for franchisee independence, the Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled this week in a momentous decision regarding 7-Eleven and an attempt to classify franchisees as employees of the brand. The IFA Law Center filed an amicus brief in the case arguing a ruling against franchising would "send shock waves throughout the franchise business model as a whole." In response to the ruling, IFA's Michael Layman said, "The momentous decision in Massachusetts will have a far-reaching impact toward protecting franchisees’ roles as entrepreneurs and business owners. Classifying franchisees as employees, as the plaintiffs unsuccessfully argued, would have undermined franchisee independence and led to an untenable situation for franchisors and franchisees alike, and undoubtedly created confusion, uncertainty, and an increase in litigation in the Commonwealth. We are pleased that common sense prevailed in the Bay State and hope that its precedent impacts the broader independent contractor debate in Washington, D.C., and state capitals across this country.” Read IFA's full brief, and more on the case, here: https://lnkd.in/gyTbz-TN
