NLRB tries to settle McD’s joint employer suit
March 19, 2018
The National Labor Relations Board is looking to settle a case between McDonald’s and workers that claims the fast food operator is a joint employer of individuals employed by its franchisees. A joint employer is defined as a parent company that controls the working conditions of employees working for franchises. If McDonald’s is found to be a joint employer, it would become legally liable for labor law violations from the companies that franchise its restaurants.
