Court rules joint-employment test is too broad (The Hill)

January 02, 2019

The DC Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Dec. 28 that a National Labor Relations Board decision in 2015 to expand joint employment was too broad, The Hill reported. The case involved Browning-Ferris Industries and its staffing firm Leadpoint Business services; the NLRB’s decision had caused waves in the staffing industry. It came after a union effort to organize both directly hired and staffing firm workers at a BFI recycling site in California. Separately, the NLRB is also now working on a plan to do away with the 2015 change in the joint-employer standard, according to SIA.
