Bill Analysis
HJRES 98 is a joint resolution aimed at disapproving a rule established by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) concerning the criteria for determining joint employer status under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). The resolution invokes the Congressional Review Act, which allows Congress to overturn federal regulations issued by government agencies.
The NLRB’s rule, which is the subject of this resolution, seeks to clarify the conditions under which two or more employers can be considered joint employers of a single workforce. This determination is significant as it impacts the rights and responsibilities of employers regarding labor relations, including collective bargaining and liability for labor law violations. By disapproving this rule, HJRES 98 aims to revert to previous standards that may impose different criteria for joint employer status.
The resolution does not allocate specific funding but serves as a legislative mechanism to negate the NLRB’s rule, thereby affecting the regulatory framework governing employer-employee relationships. The primary agencies involved are the NLRB and, indirectly, the Department of Labor.
The resolution primarily benefits businesses that may prefer the previous joint employer standard, which could limit their liability and obligations under labor law. Conversely, it may disadvantage workers and labor organizations advocating for broader protections and rights under the joint employer framework.
Key timelines include the resolution’s introduction and subsequent passage in the House, with the latest action indicating that the Chair has directed the Clerk to notify the Senate. If passed by the Senate and signed by the President, the resolution would effectively nullify the NLRB’s rule, reinstating prior joint employer standards. The resolution reflects ongoing debates regarding labor rights, employer responsibilities, and the regulatory landscape governing employment practices in the United States.
