In Fast Food Nation, Eric Schlosser writes about the concept of encroachment. Encroachment means restaurants belonging to the same food chain are frequently being put closer to one another. This is intruding upon the rights of the franchisees.This makes their sales go down, which have led to franchisee losing their entire investment. They are not covered by federal laws that protect employees. They have given up their rights when they sign the working contract without them knowing. For example Subway, that opens up new franchisees right around the corner of each other. The workers are not fluent in English and in order to earn a decent living work up to sixty hours a week. The fast food industry uses Small Business Administration to finance new restaurants. In the other hand, it was created to help independent small businesses, but it eliminates them. There is no regulating of the fast food industry because of free marketing but there is no bill against this concept which many oppose.
