Washington, D.C. – Last night, the U.S. Senate passed a bill to roll-back the Joint-Employer regulations that went into effect late-February, 2024. NSBA applauds the Senators who supported the legislation, S.J.Res.49 to undo the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) rule which will pose a significant burden and greatly stymie economic growth and innovation for America’s small businesses.
Below is a statement from NSBA President and CEO Todd McCracken.
"The National Small Business Association commends the Senate for approving legislation to nullify the NLRB’s misguided joint-employer rule which significantly expands how employers are classified as “joint-employers” meaning far less fair and equal bargaining power for smaller employers.
“This rule is a massive overreach from the NLRB and would essentially make larger companies and franchisors responsible and liable for the employment practices of their franchisees, suppliers, vendors, contractors, and subcontractors.
“The real-world consequence of this rule is that larger companies will scale back their work with small businesses as suppliers, and instead look to take them over and bring them “in-house”. This will lead to fewer start-ups, lost innovation, higher costs, and a less vibrant entrepreneurial economy.”
