NRCA joined with allied organizations in the Coalition for a Democratic Workplace (CDW) to submit comments supporting the NLRB's Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) regarding the joint employer standard. Under the NLRA, the joint employer standard is used to determine when two or more entities are jointly responsible for bargaining with any union representing the employees and liable for any violations of the NLRA either entity commits against those employees.
