Protecting Small Business and Workers from NLRB Joint-Employer Rule

In October 2023, Biden’s National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) announced a joint-employer final rule that makes companies jointly liable with their franchisees for workplace policies including union contracts, scheduling, pay, and other practices despite not overseeing the other business’ employees, threatening the American franchise model that supports millions of workers and promotes small business growth.

The Biden Administration and NLRB’s destructive rule not only takes away the freedom and opportunity for hardworking Americans to run their own businesses, but also muddies the waters on their legal liabilities, resulting in higher operational and consumer costs and fewer jobs. 

Once again, the Biden Administration is prioritizing special interests over small businesses and American workers.

We should be fighting to empower small businesses and grow job opportunities to allow Americans to succeed – not imposing more red tape, undermining entrepreneurship, and placing the American Dream out of reach.
H.J. Res. 98, introduced by Rep. John James, repeals the National Labor Relations Board’s burdensome rule relating to "Standard for Determining Joint Employer Status" under the Congressional Review Act, protecting the franchise system, small business, American workers, and entrepreneurship.

House Republicans won’t stop protecting hardworking Americans and small businesses that keep American entrepreneurship alive from radical job-killing regulations imposed by the Biden Administration.
