The proposed expanded joint employer rule, which an International Franchise Association <\/a>(IFA)-led coalition challenged in federal court, was defeated Friday <\/a>when The National Labor Relations Board dropped its appeal of an earlier ruling<\/a> in favor of the coalition.<\/p>\n

“This announcement means that the latest attempt to implement joint employer is finally finished and represents a landmark victory for franchise small businesses in communities across America,” Matt Haller, IFA president and CEO, said in a statement<\/a>. “The franchise business model is the best vehicle for American workers to generate upward mobility and create small business ownership from all walks of life. Make no mistake: while today’s news means the current threat is behind us, IFA will remain vigilant against any attempts to target the franchise model or our members.”<\/p>\n

Some form of the Joint Employer Rule has existed for years, but in 2023, the NLRB expanded it in a way that directly impacted the franchise industry. Under the proposed expanded version of the rule, two companies \u2014 say, McDonald’s<\/a> and a McDonald’s franchisee<\/a> \u2014 could more easily be considered “joint employers” of the same employees. That would make McDonald’s<\/a> legally liable for any labor violation committed by one of its franchisees, even though McDonald’s itself did not hire and does not manage that employee.<\/p>\n

Although this is the end of this attempt to expand the rule, attorney Jim Paretti<\/a> of labor relations law firm Littler Mendelson<\/a> recently told <\/a>Entrepreneur<\/a> <\/i>what the NLRB’s options are moving forward. “The short answer is that the board<\/a> can keep trying to write a rule,” Paretti said. “They can go back to the drawing board, try again and write something more narrow.”<\/p>\n
