Congressional Leaders to Join Small Business Owners Under NLRB Assault

WASHINGTON, D.C., September 29, 2015
On Wednesday, September 30, 2015, House Education and the Workforce Committee Chairman John Kline (R-MN), Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee Chairman Lamar Alexander (R-MN), and House Small Business Committee Chairman Steve Chabot (R-OH) will stand with small business owners from across the country impacted by the extreme policies of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

The NLRB recently issued a partisan decision that redefines what it means to be an employer. This “joint employer” decision overturned decades of settled labor policy and threatens to steal from countless men and women the dream of owning a small business. In response, congressional leaders introduced the Protecting Local Business Opportunity Act. This bipartisan bill would roll back the NLRB’s decision and restore policies that served consumers, workers, and employers well for decades.
