Legal Dive turned to Fisher Phillips for insight on the increased collaboration between the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and what it could mean for employers.

In the article, Alba Aviles is quoted regarding the renewed focus on misclassification issues and anti-competitive conduct. She explains that “misclassification of workers in the gig economy, imposition of restrictive noncompete and nondisclosure provisions, and the ‘ability of workers to act collectively’ are high on the priority list.”

The article also points to a Fisher Phillips’ insight on the first-ever plea deal with a staffing firm that faces criminal charges for colluding with another firm to suppress compensation. If finalized, it would be the nation’s first successful criminal prosecution of a workplace-related antitrust matter. Quoted from the firm’s insight, the article says, “this case should send a clear message to employers across the country that certain business practices could put your organization — and you — in criminal jeopardy.”
