The rule — announced late last month by the National Labor Relations Board –- sets new standards for determining when two companies should be considered “joint employers” under the National Labor Relations Act.

It sounds wonky. But essentially, the rule could widen the number of companies that must participate in labor negotiations alongside their franchisees or independent contractors. For example, it might require Burger King to bargain with workers even though most of its U.S. restaurants are owned by franchisees. Or it could require Amazon to negotiate with delivery drivers who are employed by independent contractors.

      Has this rule passed? Until then Hexbear is right (and usually is).

      BTW the Hexbear repost has one comment, “Awesome. Hope it passes.”

        Holy goalpost move Batman.

        Seriously even when the guy is trying but fails it’s somehow some secret ploy and he’s in cahoots with whoever stopped it up with you people.

        It’s straight up magical thinking with you lot, it’s Biden’s fault if he didn’t do something, it’s his fault if he tried to but fails, and it’s still his fault if he succeeds because something something Bernie woulda done it better something something.

        The worst part is that nobody else would even be mad if it wasn’t so fucking obvious that you’re just astroturfing to not be yelled at for not voting or protest voting again with Dobbs on books to show everyone just how MARVELOUSLY that shit worked last time you tried to “Punish” the DNC for not nominating the guy that even you lot wouldn’t turn out for.
