Event Synopsis:
In its 2015 Browning-Ferris decision, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has established a new joint employer standard which radically broadened the definition of joint employment and expanded the potential liability for employers under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). Although, the new joint employer standard was set to strengthen collective bargaining, many still believe that it will bring negative implications to unions membership and franchise employment considering its obscurity and weak economic justification. Thus, it is imperative wfv for employers and other members of the business community to keep themselves abreast with the latest regulatory developments and trends to effectively address and mitigate potential risks and pitfalls associated with the evolving joint employer standard.
In this LIVE Webcast, a panel of distinguished professionals and thought leaders organized by The Knowledge Group will help the audience better understand the important aspects of this significant topic.

· The Legal Framework of Joint Employer Liability

· New Collective Bargaining Obligations
