In Browning Ferris Industries of California, 362 NLRB No. 186 (2015), the NLRB upended decades of precedent by finding that a typical user/supplier relationship between two businesses created a joint employer relationship. The Board’s decision affects union and non-union businesses who use staffing agencies, contractors and other sources of labor to perform work and threatens to draw unsuspecting employers into labor disputes, union negotiations and unfair labor practice cases like never before. It also impacts the parent-subsidiary, franchisor/franchisee and other business relationships that previously faced little risk of joint employer liability. Other government agencies are poised to follow the Board’s lead by more aggressively seeking to impute liability for workplace safety, wage-hour, and other violations to “user” and “host” employers. Jon Levine and Adam Tuzzo will present an informative discussion on the Board’s redefined joint employer standard, what it means for employers, and how to reduce your risk of joint employer liability.
