Trump Policy Rolls Back Obama’s ‘Joint Employer’ Rule
13th January 2020
The Labor Department issued an official rule on Sunday that corporations are only liable when they directly control the policies of their franchisees, effectively rolling back Obama administration policy that had tried to benefit unions, the Washington Examiner reported.
The Obama administration attempted, through the so-called joint employer rule, to have franchiser corporations be legally responsible for workplace violations by their franchisees, even if those were legally independent businesses.
With Democrats, it’s never about who is at fault, it’s always about who they can soak.
