WASHINGTON – Today, the Education and the Workforce Committee advanced two bills to help job creators thrive: H.J. Res. 98, Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) relating to “Standard for Determining Joint Employer Status”; and H.R. 3400, Small Businesses before Bureaucrats Act.
On the passage of the bills, Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC) said: “Workers and job creators are the driving force for innovation and a stronger economy. That’s why it’s so important for government to get out of the way and allow the private sector to take charge. I’m proud to see H.J. Res. 98 and H.R. 3400 pass the Committee as we work to prevent government barriers and bureaucratic red tape from inhibiting America’s workforce.”
H.J. Res. 98, Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the National Labor Relations Board relating to “Standard for Determining Joint Employer Status”:
Nullifies the NLRB’s job-killing joint employer rule and restores the commonsense, traditional joint employer standard.
H.R. 3400, Small Businesses before Bureaucrats Act:
Shields small businesses from the NLRB’s burdensome rules, litigation, and decisions.
Increases the NLRB’s jurisdictional threshold to businesses with retail over $5,000,000, and to $500,000 for non-retail businesses, which reflects the growth of the economy and the modern value of the dollar.
