985254	Save Local Businesses - Joint Employer Status	Active	Federal	Washington, DC, USA	Washington	District of Columbia	DC	US	The NLRB's Browning-Ferris Industries (BFI) decision in August 2015 has been frustrating and has hurt franchise small businesses. The Board replaced the predictable and clear, “direct and immediate control” standard for determining joint employer status with a vague test based on “indirect” and “potential” control over workers’ terms and conditions of employment. The decision exposed franchisors and franchisees to workplace liability for another employer’s actions and for workers they do not employ. Specifically, franchise businesses are facing more operational and legal costs, decreased business values, less compliance assistance from franchisors, less growth and fewer jobs as consequences of the expanded joint employer definition.	We strongly support the Board reestablishing a standard of joint employment that is consistent with the proposed rule’s text, in which an employer can be deemed a joint employer only if it possesses and actually exercises substantial, direct and immediate control over the essential terms and conditions of employment of another employer’s employees. This standard is clear and predictable and will ensure that franchisees can continue to operate their own businesses for themselves, but not by themselves.	0000-00-00 00:00:00	0000-00-00 00:00:00	internationalfranchise	2018-10-23 05:41:57	no	316975	Proj:459266	121	47154,47362	51283	2018-10-23 17:51:30	38.9071923	No	-77.0368707	Yes	648702	no	Project banner 985254.jpg
245178	Blueprint for the 21st Century: A Plan for Better Jobs and Stronger Communities	Active		Washington, DC, USA	Washington	District of Columbia	DC	US	The United States faces a widening chasm in outlook and opportunity. While the wealthiest Americans have captured the lion’s share of returns in the economy, college-educated Americans have largely continued to prosper under many of the economic forces and policies that have reshaped the 21st century economy. But for millions of American workers—and particularly those without a four-year college degree—these powerful forces have exerted downward pressure on employment and wage growth, job quality, and opportunity in their communities. To make matters even worse, this decline in opportunity has been further exacerbated by long-standing inequities in our country. The effects have been particularly pronounced in certain regions. The pain being felt by the American people reflects deep, long-brewing market and policy failures. And neither the free market nor tax cuts for the wealthy and large corporations have—nor will—address their hardship.		0000-00-00 00:00:00	0000-00-00 00:00:00	americanprogress	2018-07-23 18:43:34	no	316368	Proj:392708	121	46821		2018-07-23 18:51:23	38.9071923	No	-77.0368707	Yes	990097	no	Project banner 245178.jpg
244930	Ban the Box	Active	Federal	Baltimore, MD, USA	Baltimore		MD	US	African Americans make up roughly 13% of the U.S. population, but 40% of its prisoners. More than 600,000 incarcerated individuals leave U.S. prisons each year. Returning citizens who gain employment are more than 1/3 less likely than their counterparts to return to crime, and are more capable of turning their lives around permanently. Although they have paid their debt and served their time, individuals with a criminal history are too often denied the opportunity at legitimate employment, which would help engage them in productive activities that improve the quality of life for everyone and enable them to become productive members of society.		0000-00-00 00:00:00	0000-00-00 00:00:00	naacp	2018-07-22 22:38:32	no	316338	Proj:207326	121,52,109	47362		2018-07-22 22:57:45	39.2903848	No	-76.6121893	Yes	7814390	no	Project banner 244930.jpg
764133	Hair Braiding Freedom in Missouri	Active		Springfield, MO, USA	Springfield	Greene County	MO	US	The Missouri Board of Cosmetology and Barber Examiners had sued Salimato Kouyate, an African-style hair braider, trying to put her out of business because she earned money by braiding hair and had not first completed the 1,500 hours’ worth of training that state law requires to act as a licensed cosmetologist. That training would take many months to complete, would cost more than $10,000, and perhaps most importantly it would not teach Ms. Kouyate anything about braiding that she did not already know.		0000-00-00 00:00:00	0000-00-00 00:00:00	mofreedom	2018-07-19 05:50:56	no	316262	Proj:45746	121	60044	51257	2018-07-19 17:49:17	37.2089572	No	-93.2922989	Yes	934139	no	Project banner 764133.jpg
