Follow NSBA as we continue tracking changes to the NLRB’s joint-employer rule.Â
This month, a U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas blocked a rule from the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) that changed the way joint-employer status is determined. Â
In its decision to block this rule, the court reinstated an NLRB rule from 2020 that protects businesses from undue liability for employees not under their direct control. Â
According to the Texas district court’s current ruling: control for franchisees is reestablished after the NLRB changed the elements involved in evaluating a joint-employe relationship in Oct. 2023, as well as how unions would be able to organize. Â
NSBA has been closely following developments of the NLRB’s joint-employer rule and its many changes over the last two years. Â
