Camille Olson quoted in SHRM

Camille Olson was quoted in a September 21 story “Foxx Vows Changes as Chair of House Committee” from SHRM on congressional efforts to overturn an August 2015 NLRB decision (Browning-Ferris Industries (BFI) of California, 362 NLRB No. 186) that the board no longer would require direct and immediate control over employment to show a joint employer relationship. Olson said that if the board's new definition of 'joint employer status' is accepted by the courts, franchisors could face fundamental changes in their operating business model and the risk of both unionization and potential joint liability for alleged unlawful practices of other separate corporations.
