NAR Letter to NLRB Regarding Proposed Joint-Employer Status Under NLRA

On December 6 NAR sent a letter to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). The letter provides comments in response to NLRB's Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to rescind and replace the final joint employer rule under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA).

 

NAR supports a joint employer standard that clearly defines the employer-employee relationship and provides predictability in business relationships. This is accomplished by ensuring the final rule does not result in one business entity bearing employment liability for another business entity’s employees unless it exerts substantial direct and immediate control over those employees. NAR believes that an employer should be liable under the NLRA, only if the employer possesses and exercises direct and immediate control over the terms or conditions of another entity’s employees.
