The NLRB (National Labor Relations Board) has issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to determine when one business can be deemed a “joint employer” of another business’s employees.
Businesses need certainty about rules and regulations in order to be willing to invest. The Trump 2020 rule provided that certainty: it made very clear that an employer would NOT be viewed as a joint employer unless it exercised direct control over the employment terms/conditions of another business’s employees. The Trump rule has yet to be applied to a single case, so the NLRB cannot possibly have found fault with it.
