Retailers Welcome Resolution to Repeal Unworkable NLRB Rule

Today the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.J. Res 98 to repeal the National Labor Relations Board's (NLRB) rule which dramatically expands the standard for determining joint employment. Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA) Vice President of Workforce Evan Armstrong issued the statement below in response.

“RILA applauds the House for passing H. J. Res 98 to repeal the NLRB’S joint employer rule that is vague, unworkable and increases risks to retail supply chains. Leading retailers encourage the Senate to swiftly pass this resolution and send it to the President’s desk.”
