The NLRB's 'Joint Employer' Thrust Defies 50 Years of Judicial Precedent
In this article, I analyze how the NLRB general counsel's approach is refuted by 50 years of virtually unanimous judicial decisions, and address a recent NLRB decision greatly expanding who may be deemed a "joint employer" (and how this decision discarded 30 years of NLRB precedent).
