IMOA - Independent McDonald's Operators Association was created to defend its members all of whom after prolonged fruitless negotiations with local management entered into litigation against McDonald's. These responsible independent businessmen and women are not going to let McDonald's continue to break or change the law at their expense.
Most members are owner operators with many stores.
The average member has operated stores for over 5 years. All have excellently operated stores which are recognized as such internationally. In Brazil it is against the law , punishable under civil and criminal procedures , to sublet rented property for values above those for which it is rented from the legal owner. Your local management has known this for many years and has chosen to try to change the law rather than obeying the law. Lawyers paid by McDonald's are directly involved in working to write a new law designed to favor McDonald's.
