Explanation of H. J. RES. 98
This bill, known as H. J. RES. 98, is a joint resolution introduced in the United States Congress. It is meant to disapprove a rule submitted by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) regarding the "Standard for Determining Joint Employer Status".
In simpler terms, the NLRB rule in question defines when two employers can be considered joint employers. This can have significant implications for labor laws and workers' rights.
The joint resolution, if passed by both the Senate and the House of Representatives, disapproves this NLRB rule and declares that it will have no force or effect. It effectively overturns the rule and prevents it from being implemented.
The House of Representatives already passed this resolution on January 12, 2024. It is now awaiting further action in the Senate before it can become a law.
