New 'joint employer' rule could make it easier for millions to unionize - if it survives challenges
apnews.com
The rule — announced late last month by the National Labor Relations Board –- sets new standards for determining when two companies should be considered “joint employers” under the National Labor Relations Act.
It sounds wonky. But essentially, the rule could widen the number of companies that must participate in labor negotiations alongside their franchisees or independent contractors. For example, it might require Burger King to bargain with workers even though most of its U.S. restaurants are owned by franchisees. Or it could require Amazon to negotiate with delivery drivers who are employed by independent contractors.

Gotta vote for people who care.
Never blame those in power when it's the constituency who put them there.
We can blame both tho
Spinning it as if those elected have no blame is absurd. They know what they're doing.
I mean, abusers are never going away. They will always be there.
The answer is to prevent them from gaining power, which we routinely fail to do.
Too often those same politicians lied in order to get elected, then backtracked on promises.
It's not the victims' fault when the criminals win.
