After 'Browning-Ferris,' Is It Now Safe for Franchises and Small Businesses?

“Is it safe,” was the question asked by Lawrence Olivier's character in the motion picture, "Marathon Man." The same question is asked by franchise and small businesses after the NLRB's recent decision on joint employment in Hy-Brand Industrial Contractors, 365 NLRB 156 (2017).
