If you were hoping for more pro-Hamas propaganda from your local barista, we have good news. President Joe Biden's National Labor Relations Board has issued a new regulation to enable unions to force membership on all stores affiliated with one brand, such as Starbucks, instead of winning elections franchise location by franchise location.
Known as the Standard for Determining Joint-Employer Status, the new NLRB regulation significantly expands who can be considered an employee. Under current law, an employee must show that another entity exercises “substantial, direct, and immediate control” over the terms and conditions of employment to be considered that employee’s employer.
So, under the old rules, McDonald’s would not be considered the joint employer of a McDonald’s franchise employee just because the McDonald's corporation set standards on how french fries should be cooked. But under the new rules, if McDonald’s undertakes any quality control at franchises, every employee at every franchise would also be considered McDonald’s staff even though McDonald’s did not hire them, set their wages, or tell them when to work.
