AGC joined a broad group of employer organizations on a letter to the Committee on Education and the Workforce for a hearing it held this week on “Restoring Balance and Fairness to the National Labor Relations Board.” The letter highlights the concerns with the NLRB’s August 2015 “joint employer” standard. AGC remains hopeful that the new board will eventually restore the traditional, common sense standard of joint employment liability based on “direct control”. At the same time, AGC is advocating that Congress enact a permanent legislative solution to the joint employer standard that provides certainty to employers.
