United States / NLRB presents rule change to its joint-employer standard. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the federal agency tasked with protecting workers’ right of union membership and investigating illegal practices in the world of work, published – today, 14 September – a proposed rule change for its joint-employer standard (here). Under the proposed rule, an employer will only be able to consider themselves a joint-employer of employees of another company if it “possesses and exercises substantial, direct and immediate control over the essential terms and conditions of employment and has done so in a manner that is not limited and routine”.
