Mealey's (September 9, 2020, 1:24 PM EDT) -- NEW YORK — A federal judge in New York on Sept. 8 deemed the portions of the U.S. Department of Labor's (DOL) final rule revising its regulations interpreting vertical joint employer liability as "arbitrary and capricious," in conflict with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and "flawed in just about every respect" but found the portion making nonsubstantive changes to horizonal joint employer liability permissible and severable (New York, et al. v.
