President Joe Biden accused House Republicans of “siding with union-busting corporations over the needs of the workers and their unions,” as he vetoed on May 3 a resolution disapproving of a rule enacted by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

President Biden said the rule, called the Standard for Determining Joint Employer Status, would prevent companies from “evading their bargaining obligations or liability when they control a worker’s working condition.”
