Job Creators Network Supports House Resolution to Overturn NLRB’s Joint Employer Decision

Alfredo Ortiz, president and CEO of Job Creators Network, issued the following statement on House Republicans’ resolution being voted on today to overturn the NLRB’s joint-employer standard:

“House Republicans are standing up for small businesses by voting to repeal the NLRB’s new joint employer standard that threatens millions of small business franchisees and contractors. These small businesses will lose out on entrepreneurial opportunities as big corporations are forced to stick to established players to avoid potential lawsuits associated with the new standard. This new standard is nothing more than a Democratic effort to reward their Big Labor donors at the expense of Main Street. Along with this week’s final rule upending independent contracting, the joint-employer standard is part of the Biden administration’s broader war on small businesses. Congressional Republicans are valiantly fighting back.”

“Congressional Republicans’ effort fulfills one pillar of Job Creators Network’s American Small Business Prosperity Plan, exempting small businesses from burdensome new regulations. Policymakers can use this eight-point plan to defend small businesses against the Biden administration’s attacks.”
