THIS WEEK: Hearing on Joint Employer Legislation

The hearing will take place in room 2175 of the Rayburn House Office Building. Introduced by Rep. Bradley Byrne (R-AL), the Save Local Business Act would roll back the Obama-era joint employer scheme and reestablish the commonsense understanding of what it means to be an employer.
