Newt Gingrich: Congress must fix Obama’s joint employer mess

The recent National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) decision that effectively reinstated the Obama era’s over-reaching joint employer regulation is a perfect example of how the left plays by its own set of rules.

The joint employer rule made headlines in 2015 when the NLRB, under President Obama, rewrote the definition of what the government considered a “joint employer.”

Traditionally, a joint employer was an employer who shared direct control over an employee’s workplace or employment with another employer.

The idea was that since all employers shared and exercised similar and immediate control over employees, all should be responsible for making sure the employees had safe and reasonable working conditions. It also meant all joint employers were responsible for mistakes or bad behavior at their businesses.
