Congress Blocks New Labor Rule on Joint Employer Status Definition.

This resolution aims to nullify a new rule from the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) that broadened the definition of a 'joint employer.' If passed, the resolution prevents larger companies, such as franchisors or those using staffing agencies, from being held more easily responsible for the labor conditions of their contractors' or franchisees' employees. This action maintains the existing, narrower legal standards for employer responsibility.
Key points
Congress seeks to disapprove a rule that would have made it easier to hold large companies legally responsible for the employees of their subcontractors or franchisees.
The resolution ensures the continuation of the previous, narrower standards for determining who is legally responsible for working conditions and collective bargaining.
