NLRB Administrative Law Judge Lauren Esposito

Following the National Labor Relations Board administrative judge’s recent decision to reject McDonald’s proposed settlement to resolve all cases that called it a joint employer with its franchisees on labor law violations, the NLRB announced Thursday that it will overhaul the current joint-employer definition.  

The National Labor Relations Board rejected a proposed settlement with McDonald's and fast food workers in regard to McDonald's wanting to avoid being considered a “joint employer” with its franchisees for their alleged labor law violations. UPDATE: REQUEST TO APPEAL
