"A new federal rule that goes into effect next month could make it easier for millions of workers to form unions at big companies like McDonald’s. But it’s already facing significant pushback from businesses and some members of Congress."https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/new-federal-rule-could-allow-millions-of-workers-to-more-easily-unionize-at-big-companies—#unions #franchise #NLRB #workers

"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."
