National Labor Relations Board Chairman John Ring confirmed to a group of senators in a letter that the board plans to revisit its joint employment standard via rulemaking, The National Law Journal reported. The standard was changed in 2015 when the then-board ruled that Browning-Ferris Industries of California was a joint employer of workers employed at its site in Milpitas, Calif., by a staffing firm. At the time, a union was trying to organize both directly employed and staffing firm workers at the location. A new NLRB attempted to change the standard back to what it had been before the 2015 ruling in a test case last December. However, the decision in the test case was vacated after it was found that one NLRB member should have recused himself.
