Hearing Held on the Impact of DOL/NLRB Decisions and Proposed Rules on Small Business

On Oct. 5, the House Small Business Committee held a hearing titled, “Adding to Uncertainty: The Impact of DOL/NLRB Decisions and Proposed Rules on Small Businesses.” The hearing examined recent proposed rules by the Department of Labor (DOL) and National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and how they will add uncertainties to small businesses. Issues addressed included the “persuader rule,” the “quickie election rule” and the “poster rule.”  On Aug. 22, AGC submitted comments to the NLRB opposing the “quickie election” proposed rule and on Sept. 21, AGC and the AGC Labor and Employment Law Council submitted a comment letter opposing DOL’s “persuader rule.” For more information, please contact Jim Young at (202) 547-0133 or youngj@agc.org.
