NLRB Expands Definition of "Joint Employer"

The National Labor Relations Board issued a disappointing but anticipated decision last week that relaxes the standard for determining when two companies constitute "joint employers" under the National Labor Relations Act. As reported here, AGC of America submitted a joint amicus brief with other employer groups in the case last year. AGC will provide further guidance after completing a full analysis of the case. An appeal is expected but not certain at this time. More information on this case may be found here.
