"Federal Courts Strike Down NLRB's Joint Employer Rules, Impacting Big Companies and Workers"

A federal judge in Texas has blocked a new National Labor Relations Board rule that would have made it easier for workers at big companies to unionize by expanding the definition of "joint employers." The judge sided with business groups who argued that the new rule would upend precedent and make companies liable for workers they don't employ. The NLRB is reviewing the decision and considering its next steps.
