Recently, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), in a 3-2
decision along partisan lines, overturned the "joint
employer" standard that has existed for the past three
decades.
This is a highly important decision because if a company is a
joint employer, it could be subject to collective bargaining and a
large variety of employment-related claims formally reserved for
the direct employer.
We invite you to listen to this podcast in which Fox Partners
John R. Gotaskie, Jr. and
Elizabeth D. Sigety discuss the ramifications of the NLRB's
ruling on the franchise industry.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
