Third Thursday--C&M's December Labor & Employment Update: Employer Responses to the NLRB's New Position on Co-Employment

Webinar | 12.18.14, 7:00 AM EST - 8:00 AM EST

Please join us for the next edition of Third Thursday – Crowell & Moring’s Labor and Employment Update, a webinar series dedicated to helping our clients stay on top of the developing law and emerging compliance issues.
The NLRB is trying to change the rules on the joint employer doctrine.  Through a number of recent enforcement actions, the NLRB is causing headaches for employers in many industries. For example,

  • The NLRB’s General Counsel has announced his intention to file complaints against McDonald’s, arguing that it is a joint employer with many of its franchisees.
  • The NLRB is poised to issue a decision in Browning Ferris, which promises a significant change in the definition of joint employment for employers using a variety of outsourcing and temporary staffing business models. 
     

Our panelists will discuss the implications of the NLRB’s actions on the business community.

As it relates to federal procurement, we have seen audits and investigations rolled out not only of active participants in the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) Business Development Program but also reviews of various types of small business contracts (such as 8(a) sole source and set-aside awards, preference-based awards, and small business set-aside awards over particular values). Join Crowell & Moring as we discuss what aspects of contract performance and teaming arrangements are being scrutinized (e.g., size/status eligibility, limitations on subcontracting compliance, reasonableness of market rates, etc.) and how these considerations can impact both small government contractors holding the prime contracts under review and their subcontractors. ...
