Bill Summary
JOINT RESOLUTION 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 a ‘‘Standard for Determining Joint Employer Status’’.
AI Summary
This Joint Resolution disapproves a rule from the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), an independent federal agency that protects the rights of most private-sector employees to organize, to take collective action, and to have their wages, benefits, and other working conditions determined through collective bargaining, concerning the "Standard for Determining Joint Employer Status." This means that Congress is using its authority under Chapter 8 of Title 5 of the United States Code, which allows Congress to review and overturn regulations issued by federal agencies, to prevent this specific NLRB rule from taking effect. The rule in question, published in the Federal Register on October 27, 2023, would have established a new standard for determining when two or more employers are considered "joint employers" of the same employees, a designation that has significant implications for labor relations, including collective bargaining and unfair labor practice charges. By disapproving this rule, Congress is effectively blocking the NLRB's new definition of joint employer status from being implemented.
