This is the worst possible time for the Biden NLRB to resurrect a job-killing joint employer rule that will threaten hundreds of thousands of small business jobs. I urge the NLRB to abandon this misguided action and preserve the 2020 joint employer rule.
🚨 The House has just introduced a Congressional Review Act to overturn the NLRB's job-killing joint employer rule. Thank you to the Member of Congress who stood up to support local businesses from our 60+ organizations who will directly be impacted by this rule 💪 🧵

With the president's veto of a bipartisan Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution that would have overturned the expansion of the joint employer rule, the Biden Administration showed that it cares more about special interests than small business owners.
The

Small businesses are the backbone of America. My family has one, and I ran it for years. But
@JulieSuCA
, Biden’s nominee for Labor Secretary, refuses to guarantee she won’t enact policies that undermine entrepreneurship & the American Dream. That’s a shame, and it’s unacceptable.
@SBECouncil
is right: "Unfortunately, the National Labor Relations Board’s expanding joint employment between businesses is a severe blow to entrepreneurship across sectors – raising costs, increasing uncertainty and erecting new barriers."
"The new rule could change owners of the small business franchisees into managers for distant corporations, costing the owners income and opportunity as some corporations would want to take direct control of the employees to avoid potential liability." CC:

"This overreaching and unworkable joint employment policy is designed to change the rules in the middle of the game for hundreds of thousands of franchise owners and turn them into middle managers in their own business,”
The National Labor Relations Board announced a final labor rule Thursday for determining joint employer status, broadening the definition and increasing the likelihood of franchisors being held liable with their franchisees for labor law violations.
