NLRB Expands Joint Employer Standard This Thursday, the National Labor Relations Board ruled that Browning Ferris Industries, a waste management company, qualifies as a &#8220;joint employer&#8221; with the company&#8217;s subcontractor. This ruling loosens the standards for who is considered a worker&#8217;s boss under the labor laws. Under this ruling, franchisors would be considered a joint-employer and means that they may have to sit at the bargaining table when it comes to workers employed by a franchise location. (From The New York Times) <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/28/business/labor-board-says-franchise-workers-can-bargain-with-parent-company.html?_r=0&utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=1851-franchising-weekly-rewind-2352" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/28/business/labor-board-says-franchise-workers-can-bargain-with-parent-company.html?_r=0</a> Focus Brands Will Start On-Demand Delivery Pretty soon customers will be able to get Auntie Anne&#8217;s Pretzels, Carvel, Cinnabon, McAlister&#8217;s Deli, Moe&#8217;s Southwestern Grill and Schlotzky&#8217;s delivered on-demand. That&#8217;s because Focus Brands Inc., the parent company, will be rolling out delivery services for all six food-service chains. The Atlanta-based company has reached a deal with Postmates, a four-year-old delivery service that has partnered with other chains like McDonald&#8217;s and Starbucks. Postmates offers delivery in designated markets in less than 60 minutes.

During September, the franchise chain will give 1 percent of system-wide sales from participating locations to No Kid Hungry. The brand will be encouraging customers to dine at MOOYAH as often as possible during this time. From Sept. 21 to 27, 2015, MOOYAH will donate an additional 25 cents for fans who add bacon to their order during &#8220;Bring Home the Bacon Week.&#8221; (From Fast Casual) <a href="http://www.fastcasual.com/news/mooyah-teams-up-with-no-kid-hungry-to-raise-50k-to-fight-childhood-hunger/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=1851-franchising-weekly-rewind-2352" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.fastcasual.com/news/mooyah-teams-up-with-no-kid-hungry-to-raise-50k-to-fight-childhood-hunger/</a> Dunkin Announces Autumn LTOs This fall, Dunkin&#8217; Donuts is partnering with The Hershey Company for the first time to release a new REESE&#8217;S Peanut Butter Square.
