Kurt Larkin and Nation’s Restaurant News Discuss NLRB’s Expanded ‘Joint Employee” Definition

Broader 'joint employer' standard upheld by NLRB

Nation’s Restaurant News │ August 27, 2015

Kurt Larkin tells Nation’s Restaurant News, “Anywhere there is a relationship between employers where labor unions are looking to make organizing gains, those relationships are at risk of being tested.” The NLRB recently upheld a controversial shift in the standard for determining “joint employer” status and Larkin says the NLRB’s definition is likely to be challenged in court. Larkin’s practice focuses on corporate campaigns, labor management relations and related litigation.
