who set a ceiling on what the employer could pay us, and negotiate with browning ferris, tellinghe supervisors what we can do. it gives workers the ability, if they organise, to bargain with life. >> i hear your anxiety on behalf of the franchisees. aren't a lot of the pressures that you describe them being under, being imposed by the people who allow the franchise to be let out. don't they set conditions, standards, product standards in ways that are more onerous than a worker can demand. >> the franchise industry, dealing with this year since mcdonald's was targeted in july. now as a result of browning ferris, the entire employment community is seeing the threat of the joint employer issue. just in the franchise community, there's a larger proportion of women owned. minority owned, veteran owned businesses. a lot of people who are successful in certain years, use life savings to open a franchise. why, because the path to success is in front of you. you use a recognisable brand. as an employer, you have a separate employer identification number. you call all the shots in terms o

on august 27 the national labor relations board created a big fuss in a case called the browning-ferriscase. got into area of what we call joint employer and for those who are worried about the case, the joint employer issues means that for the first time in my view since 1984, the nlrb said that a franchisee, i say a mcdonald's franchisee, and a mcdonald's franchiser are joint employer if, and it created a new standard for that, in my view, by saying that indirect, indirect control, let me get the exact words so i don't say it -- a new standard saying if the corporate entity, mcdonald's, exercises direct or indirect control over say, pay or working conditions, or even has the unexercised potential to do that, then, then the mcdonald's and the mcdonald's franchisee are treated as single employer. and the problem with that for 780,000 franchises across the country is that encourages mcdonald's to own all their own stores and in all the small stores in america and big towns too, you have fewer franchise opportunity, pure contractors, because the big boys and girls don't want to run the ri

the recent national labor relations board ruling, the browning v. ferris industries case, which is more widely known as the joint employer decision, will have a massive impact on businesses, relationships between their contractors and subcontractors, franchisors and franchisees. -- and other agents. in one politically motivated decision to end nlrb redefined the definition of the joint employer when they determined that a company could be held liable for the labor violation committed by a subcontractor or staffing agency that hired -- they hired. even if this company doesn't have direct supervision over those workers. this sharing of responsibility is nothing more than an attempt to force both parties into a collective bargaining but the result will be much worse. franchisor may decide it's in their best interest to assert authority over the franchisee, to make labor -- labor violations are less likely to occur. but other franchisors may decide it's more effective to end their relationship as a way to avoid the potential issues. essentially the same result

brown: david miliband, what are you seeing in continuing flow of refugees and migrants if you expect the numbers to continue? >> you can stay shadows, the people sleeping in the port, waiting for ferriesrrow. my organization international rescue committee has been trying to provide basic water and help for people including transportation who are expected to make a 40-kilometer walk -- women, children, families and able-bodied young men. the message to the europeans and the united states is a simple one. the syrian crisis is now a global refugee crisis is global responsibilities that need to attend to all nations. that means that, in europe, there needs to be some significant shift in policy but, also, frankly, the u.s., who so far has only taken about 1,500 refugees over the course of four years, need to live up toits standard role as taking refugees. we have to step up to the humanitarian and the deeper causes in the middle east. that's the only way to build the kind of security that the ambassador has rightly spoken of. >> brown: all right, david miliband and ambassador reka szemekenyi, thank you very much. >> thank you. lost in all of that, some of the candidates have been talking
