Joint Employer Rule Dead for Now

Last fall the NLRB issued a joint employer rule that would have required joint employers to collectively bargain with employees. Under the rule, an entity was considered a joint employer of another employer’s employees if the two shared or codetermined the employees’ essential terms and conditions of employment. Days before the rule was to go into effect, a district court vacated it, but the NLRB appealed. Now the NLRB has withdrawn its appeal. There’s more about this in my blog. #IdeaoftheDay
