Today, Chairman John F. Ring responded to a January 8, 2019 letter from Chairman Bobby Scott (D-VA), and Chairwoman Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) urging the Board to withdraw its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on the joint-employer standard.

A copy of Chairman Ring’s responsive letter is available here.

Established in 1935, the National Labor Relations Board is an independent federal agency that protects employers and employees from unfair labor practices, and protects the right of private sector employees to join together, with or without a union, to improve wages, benefits and working conditions. The NLRB conducts hundreds of workplace elections and investigates thousands of unfair labor practice charges each year.
