The NLRB wants to enact a ruling making big companies negotiate with their franchisees employees.
For example, it might require Burger King to bargain with workers even though most of its U.S. restaurants are owned by franchisees. Or it could require Amazon to negotiate with delivery drivers who are employed by independent contractors.
The new joint employer rule had its origins in the Obama administration. In 2015, the NLRB ruled that Browning-Ferris Industries, a waste management company, should be considered the joint employer of contract workers who were sorting its recycling because it had authority over their working conditions. A federal court upheld the NLRB’s decision in 2018.

Life is not a dress rehearsal. This is it. There's no going back, and we can only go forward before we run out of runway.
Re: NLRB wants to make it easier to form a union
This would be a terrible decision, discouraging franchise ownership.
Voting for Trump is dumber than playing Russian Roulette with fully loaded chambers.

Unions remain important to our economy, but this isn't reasonable and really makes no sense. btw, Independent contractors shouldn't be pushing for this type of thing.Round Six wrote: ↑Thu Nov 16, 2023 1:35 pmThe NLRB wants to enact a ruling making big companies negotiate with their franchisees employees.

Re: NLRB wants to make it easier to form a union
All a franchise amounts to is a way to take the direct effort of employing people and maintaining product standards out of the hands of the main company while you reap the rewards through fees. It’s no better than car dealerships.
Re: NLRB wants to make it easier to form a union
No, it would discourage shitty franchisees. There's a h-uge difference.
