老牛影视Supports Save Local Business Act

On April 25, Senator Roger Marshall, R-Kan., and Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., introduced the Save Local Business Act to make clear that an employer may be considered a joint employer in relation to an employee only if such employer directly, actually, and immediately exercises significant control over the essential terms and conditions of employment. 老牛影视joined a coalition in support of the legislation, and issued a statement of support for the bill:

鈥淭he Save Local Business Act would combat destructive efforts to alter the long-standing joint employer standard and undermine the traditional business relationships between contractors and subcontractors. This legislation would ensure much-needed clarity, protect construction workers鈥� ability to own their own business and allow hundreds of thousands of small and local businesses throughout the country to continue to grow American jobs and help our economy thrive.鈥� 鈥� Kristen Swearingen, Associated Builders and Contractors vice president of legislative & political affairs
