Legal Battles Mount as Various Groups Sue Biden Administration Over Labor Policies
Lawmakers in Congress, both Democrats and Republicans, are introducing legislation to repeal the National Labor Relations Board's new joint employer rule policy. The rule change holds companies liable for workplace policies alongside their franchisees, and is set to take effect on December 26. Supporters of the repeal argue that the policy will lead to higher costs for consumers, fewer jobs for workers, and hinder small business growth. The legislation is part of a broader effort by Congress to challenge various Biden administration policies, although previous attempts have been met with a veto from President Biden.
