Marshall Babson quoted by Business Insurance

Marshall Babson was quoted in a December 6 story in Business Insurance entitled “Joint employer ruling on contract workers expands potential liabilities” on the NLRB decision in Browning-Ferris, in which the NLRB overturned the standard in place since 1984 that firms must have “immediate and direct” control over a worker to be considered a joint employer. Instead, it held that a company need have only indirect control of a worker and not even exercise that control to be considered a joint employer. Babson said the potential clearly is to disrupt a lot of traditional business relationships.
