But it doesnt stop there. Being considered a joint employer means a small business
could have legal exposure under various statutes that contain specific small
business exemptions. These statutes include Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and the
employer mandate under the Affordable Care Act, among others. The potential legal
liability created by this new joint employer standard cannot be overstated.
Conclusion
NATSO reiterates its appreciation to the Small Business Committee for highlighting
the serious problems associated with the NLRBs new joint employer standard. As
representatives of an industry that will be uniquely harmed by this new standard,
and the larger trend of which it is a part, we urge Congress to intervene and return
the joint employer standard to the efficient, effective rule that had been in place for
more than thirty years before the Browning-Ferris case.
