On January 17, National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Chairman John F. Ring responded to the January 8 letter from Chairman Bobby Scott (Education and Labor Committee) and Chairwoman Rosa DeLauro (House Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration and Related Agencies Appropriations Subcommittee) that urged the Board to withdraw its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on the joint-employer standard. Chairman Ring’s five-page letter in response defending his position can be found here.
In addition, Chairman Ring noted that “in light of the unique circumstances presented by the recent D.C. Circuit Browning-Ferris decision . . . the Board recognized the appropriateness of extending the comment period in order for the issues raised in that decision to be addressed in comments submitted to the board.” The Board has extended the deadline for comments from January 14 to January 28, 2019.
