More than 50 business and trade groups asked Congress to pass legislation to repeal the National Labor Relations Board’s new joint employer standard, The Hill reports. In August 2015, the NLRB ruled that “indirect” and “potential” control over workers’ terms and conditions makes a company a joint employer. In a letter to members of the House Education and Workforce Committee Tuesday, the groups — including the International Franchise Association, the National Restaurant Association and the National Retail Federation — said the rule change has exposed a broad range of businesses, from contractors and subcontractors, to franchisors and franchisees, to workplace liability for another employer’s actions and for workers they do not employ.
