American Franchise Act

Summary

The American Franchise Act adds a new section to the National Labor Relations Act that spells out when a franchisor can be treated as a joint employer of a franchisee’s workers. It focuses on the franchisor’s actual control over wages, benefits, schedules, hiring and firing, and other job conditions. By narrowing that definition, the bill aims to protect franchisors from liability while keeping franchisees independent.
