Who Should Attend: Real estate developers, building owners or others in the real estate industry who employ subcontractors or other outsourced service providers.

Why You Should Care: The National Relations Labor Board recently overturned a decades-old precedent, broadening the definition of “joint employer.” The Board’s greatly expanded test may create liability for commercial real estate developers and building owners where it did not formerly exist, potentially ensnaring them in the union organizing and collective bargaining obligations of subcontractors and reducing their business flexibility.

Our presenters will include Ronald Meisburg, longtime management labor lawyer and the former General Counsel of the NLRB under Presidents Bush and Obama.
