WASHINGTON - The National Retail Federation (NRF) expressed disappointment after President Joe Biden vetoed the congressional resolution aimed at repealing the National Labor Relations Board’s final joint employer rule. Executive Vice President of Government Relations at NRF, David French, stated, "NRF is disappointed that President Biden vetoed the Congressional Review Act resolution that would have jettisoned the National Labor Relations Board’s Joint Employer final rules."
French highlighted the importance of clarity in joint employment arrangements, stating, "Given the import of these partnerships, retailers need a definitive line regarding joint employment. The ambiguity of the final rules is harmful to thousands of retail employers and the millions of Americans they employ."
NRF had previously submitted a comment letter opposing the proposed rules and supported the House's move to repeal them in early 2024. The organization has also been involved in litigation over the final rule along with other employer groups.
As the leading voice for the retail industry, NRF will continue to advocate for workplace rules that promote flexibility and economic growth.
The NRF, headquartered in Washington, D.C., advocates for the success of the retail sector, which is the nation's largest private-sector employer, contributing significantly to the economy and supporting millions of jobs.
