Today, House Education and Labor Committee Republican Leader Virginia Foxx (R-NC) issued the following statement after the Department of Labor (DOL) and the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) announced that the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) and the NLRB are teaming up to harass job creators with unnecessary red tape and overzealous enforcement:
“Allowing the WHD and the NLRB to join forces will create a perfect storm for businesses still struggling to recover from this pandemic. The Biden administration has already demonstrated that it is resuming the predatory tactics of the Obama administration to target job creators. Instead of weaponizing regulations against American workers and businesses, President Biden should be focused on helping Americans get back on their feet.
“This agreement is part of the Biden administration’s unionization push. Once again, this administration is proving that it will always put Big Labor and union bosses above workers and American business owners."
