Judge Blocks NLRB Rule
A National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) final rule making it easier for employers who contract employees from other companies to be deemed a joint employer was blocked March 8 by a district court judge in Texas. The rule had been slated to take effect March 11.
If two entities are joint employers under the National Labor Relations Act, both must bargain with the union that represents the jointly employed workers, both are potentially liable for unfair labor practices committed by the other, and both are subject to union picketing or other economic pressure if there is a labor dispute.
