A federal district court has delayed the new National Labor Relations Board rule on joint employers, the second time the start date has been pushed back.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce asked the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas to block the rule. The court held a hearing on that motion Feb. 13, and said it will issue an opinion soon.
For now, the way the NLRB determines if companies are joint employers will go into effect March 11, instead of Feb. 26.
