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.

    That’s because we keep funneling as many resources as possible to as few people as possible in the vain hopes that we might one day join them.

    The quality of life for the ruling class is inconceivable to those in the working class.

      You make it sound like the poors put the GOP in charge when in reality we have oligarchical families that subject the people to an onslaught of lies and propaganda [from the onset, mind you. slavery was a hot debate at one point.] to the point where their brains are mush. It’s a problem all across the entire spectrum of people here.

          The poors dont think about wealth at all. If they did they would be fighting tooth and nail for generational wealth and education. Have you seen the commercials that get pedaled on Fox News?
