Cleaning contractor accuses franchisors of being 'rogue operators'
posted on 13th February 2013
Patrick Lee-Lo. the president of Building Services Contractors, has again attacked the reputation of franchisors in an article in the New Zealand Herald. A previous column of his drew this response from the Franchise Association. Meanwhile, the BSC is drawing flak on the Whale Oil website over lack of accountability for its $1.8 million reserves. BSC is engaged in a public battle of words with the Crest Cleaning franchise.
Building Services Contractors (BSC) president Patrick Lee-Lo, who owns ToTal Property Services, pays his cleaners $14 to $16 an hour.
BSC members adhere to a code of conduct around the rights of cleaners during contract changes, a multi-employer collective agreement agreeing to pay cleaners $13.85 or above, and a principles agreement.
"While there will always be rogue operators out there, the BSC are willing to pull any of its members into line."
The rogue operators, as he puts it, are franchised cleaning companies. He's been calling for the Government to regulate the franchise industry.
