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.

State legislatures are also racing to implement their own regulations, particularly around AI’s use in critical areas, such as healthcare, labor and employment, and data privacy. The many sources of regulation raise the specter of a fragmented compliance environment for businesses. This webinar will delve into the Administration’s AI strategy, going beyond the headlines to analyze:...
