H.J.Res. 98 Vetoed

Sponsored by John James (R)

Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the National Labor Relations Board relating to "Standard for Determining Joint Employer Status".

Would have blocked the National Labor Relations Board's (NLRB) new rule defining when two employers are joint employers.

Tradeoff

Would have voided the NLRB rule that treats two companies as joint employers if they share control over workers' pay and conditions. The rule took effect February 26, 2024.
