Retail Supply Chains at Risk Under NLRB Joint Employer Rule

Evan Armstrong, Vice President, Workforce, at the Retail Industry Leaders Association, issued the following statement in support of the H.J. Res. 98, the Congressional Review Act resolution to repeal the National Labor Relations Board’s ruling on joint employer status:

“RILA strongly supports the House Education and Workforce’s passage of the Congressional Review Act resolution to repeal the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) damaging joint employer rule. This Congressional action is necessary given the significant overreach by the Board which will result in increased litigation, snarled retail supply chains and damage to the economy. We look forward to this resolution being passed by both the House and the Senate in a bipartisan manner. Ultimately, Republicans and Democrats should both agree that the approach by the Board is misguided, unworkable, wrong, and worthy of repeal.”
