Labor Issues & Small Business

Joint Employer

The final joint employer rule significantly expands when employers are deemed joint owners under the National Labor Relations Act. NFIB opposed the final rule from the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) issued last year and continues to advocate for the NLRB to return to a simplified determination for joint employer status.

NFIB announced a Key Vote in support of repealing the rule and restoring the independence of small business owners.
