Federal Appeals Court Strikes Down Another Useless Obama-Era Law
The Obama era is over and the Trump administration is doing its best to unravel this great country from a host of burdensome regulations and laws he imposed as if by fiat.
But Trump can’t do it all alone, he needs some help now and again and Trump just got a massive assist from a federal appeals court.
From The Daily Caller: A federal appeals court ruled Friday that an Obama-era labor law that made businesses responsible for labor violations committed by contractors was too broad, Reuters reports.
The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) ruled in 2015 that companies and franchisers with “indirect and direct control” of employees could be held liable for labor violations committed by contractors or franchisees.
The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that the board did not sufficiently define “indirect” control and sent the 2015 decision back to the board for a more restricted explanation.
The 2015 NLRB ruling overturned more than two decades of precedent while placing businesses at increased risk of violating labor laws. The ruling also empowered unions to negotiate directly with a franchise’s corporate headquarters if franchise employees sought to unionize.
Franchisers, companies and pro-business groups have sought to have the ruling overturned.
An attempt by President Donald Trump’s NLRB fell flat after Republican board member William Emanuel was forced to retroactively recuse himself from ruling in a case that would affect the 2015 decision.
The Obama-era NLRB’s decision threatened to topple the current franchise business model as franchisers that tried to navigate or avoid the additional liability the law forced them to take on. Most franchisers began pulling back support for franchise businesses.
Free enterprise is the engine that drives our economic train and while we need some regulations and rules, going too far often has the exact opposite effect and stifles innovation and freedom and that is not who we are.
