text: Turned down by Esposito, the company appealed to a review panel of the NLRB. It challenged Esposito’s rejection of the first appeal attempt and asked that the joint-employer decision be struck.
  The panel, consisting of the NLRB’s chairman and four members, rejected McDonald’s attempt to re-open the matter and affirmed the justification of Griffin to regard the franchisor as a joint employer.
  “We find that the allegations in the complaint are sufficient to put McDonald’s on notice that the General Counsel is alleging joint employer status based on McDonald’s control over the labor relations policies of its franchisees,” the decision reads.
  Reclassifying McDonald’s and other franchisors as joint employers of franchisees’ staffs would undermine a longstanding convention of restaurant franchising. Typically franchisees are responsible for recruiting, training and dealing day to day with their employees, and are usually the parties legally accountable for those activities. Designating franchisors as joint employers would make the deep-pocketed corporations also accountable, exposing them to lawsuits and regulatory actions.
  Franchisors have warned that they would likely change their expansion philosophies if the NLRB’s decision stands. Many have said they would likely resort to more company development, or would deal only with longstanding franchisees whose labor policies are familiar.
  
  Delivery took a while but I'm not holding it against a local restaurant because I know how many people are getting takeout during this. Delivery driver was a cool guy. Forgot my can of soda so I got a 2 liter. Talked about the local pizza joint that inticed me to try Village but didn't bash them just said what I would say. Earned a new customer at that moment before I even tried the food.Fries not so great but the grinder and wings are awesome. I love my wings and these aren't...read full review
  Been ordering from village for years. Now the last two times they screwed up the order. The first time we brushed it off as a one time thing. This time I called to say something and the staff was rude and tried to tell me the order was done correctly and wanted no part in listening to what was being said. Even the girl answering the phone didnâ€™t listen
  My family really likes their Hawaiian pizza. Also, their Greek salad is probably my favorite thing on this Earth to eat, and that's coming from someone who never really enjoyed salad much growing up.It's nice to support a small local pizza restaurant like Village. Will be a customer for a long time.
