After
being laid off three times in four years, Don Brinkley was ready to
embark on his Plan B.So in September 2011, Brinkley, and his wife,
Cindy, used their savings to become master franchisees for Anago
Cleaning Systems, a Florida-based commercial cleaning franchise. As
Anago of the Triangle, located on Kildaire Farm Road in Cary, the
Brinkleys are among 30 master franchisees that work with 2,400 unit
franchisees in the U.S. and internationally.
Brinkley, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology alumnus, had worked in the software industry for more than 30 years, but started looking into self-employment opportunities after he was laid off by Symantec in 2008 and then Logos Technologies in 2010.
The Brinkleys started exploring franchise opportunities, they said, because they felt they needed an established structure to guide them through the business development process as opposed to building a venture from scratch.This vertical thequicksilverscreen can be mounted to either.“So we are a cleaning company, but we don’t do any of the cleaning,” Don Brinkley said. “What we do is the sales and marketing, administrative and operational support, and we do billing and collections on the back end.”
Anago receives a percentage of the Brinkley’s business revenues and a portion of its initial fees paid by new franchisee units.In 2010, after Don Brinkley’s second layoff, the couple started working with Daniel Prendergast with The Entrepreneur’s Source, a franchisor that offers business coaching and helps connect prospective owners with business opportunities.
In early 2011, Don Brinkley landed a position at Allscripts in Cary and the hunt to open a business was postponed until he was laid off four months later.The Brinkleys explored businesses that provided drug testing, senior care and auto repair, but decided to invest their savings in Anago in September 2011 after visiting its headquarters in Pompano Beach, Fla.
“I felt like it would be complicated enough to keep my interest, and also be able to share my business background,The Motorola porcelaintiles Engine is an embedded software-only component of the Motorola wireless switches.” Don Brinkley said about the Anago model.How to change your dash lights to siliconebracelets this is how I have done mine.
When the Brinkleys acquired the North Carolina territory, Anago had already established a Triangle office in Cary. The Brinkleys started developing relationships with the about 100 existing cleaning clients and their about 15 unit franchisees, they said. The couple hired an operations manager to help unit franchisees and ensure quality control and a sales manager to identify and secure cleaning contracts, mainly through telemarketing.

By the time the workers first went on strike, in June, they had much to protest. They had borrowed to pay recruitment fees of $2,000 to $2,500, counting on promises of full-time work and good housing. But in Florida, the cleaning company packed as many as 15 people into unfurnished two-bedroom apartments, for which it collected as much as $5,000 a month. Charges for rent and required extras like $70 for a T-shirt “uniform” reduced the workers’ net pay to subminimum levels, sometimes even zero, and — the final insult — paychecks repeatedly bounced. Children back home waited for money that never came.
Those problems typify the debt, fraud and coercion that plague guest-work programs in the United States. An estimated 700,000 to a million guest workers and their families enter the country each year, mostly to work in low-wage industries but also as nurses, teachers, computer programmers and the like. When guest workers are exploited, it lowers the floor for American workers,Best Buy has low prices on digital oilpaintingsforsales and digital picture frames. too.
H-2B visas, the class of visas held by the Jamaicans, are reserved for temporary or seasonal work for which there are not enough “able, willing, qualified and available” Americans — but of course, availability depends on the wages and working conditions on offer. Florida’s unemployment rate has been stuck at over 7 percent, so it seems unlikely that no local cleaners could be found.
Guest workers, however, offer something hiring a local worker does not: subservience. They are tied by law to the employer who sponsored their visas, which means that if they are found too “difficult” for any reason — including asking that their rights be respected — the employer can effectively deport them and blacklist them from receiving future work visas.
When the Jamaican cleaners struck the first time, protesting their stolen wages and miserable living conditions, the cleaning company stapled a notice to their paycheck stating that immigration authorities and local law enforcement would escort anyone who didn’t return the next day to the airport, to fly home.
The Jamaicans’ situation is part of a broader phenomenon of subcontracting. The structure of work has shifted since the 1980s, for workers from Manhattan office cleaners to Bangladeshi garment stitchers. The National Employment Law Project reports that 58 percent of jobs added during the recovery have been in low-wage sectors, which have high levels of contingent and subcontracted jobs. Today, almost all production in global manufacturing involves subcontracting. It is central to the structure of employment in the American construction, warehousing and agricultural industries as well.
Subcontractors compete on the price of labor. Where production can’t travel, they move workers across borders, with recruiters’ help. They also shield businesses from legal liability for the treatment of workers and from labor-organizing efforts. Three steps are essential to curbing the system’s worst abuses.
