ABC-Led CDW Comments on House Subcommittee Hearing on NLRB & Chair McFerran

On June 12, the U.S. House Committee on Education & the Workforce Subcommittee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions held a hearing titled “NLRB Overreach: Trampling on Workers’ Rights and Fostering Unfairness.” The hearing focused on the National Labor Relations Board’s bad decisions and degradation of rights and protections under Chair Lauren McFerran’s failed leadership. Specifically, members noted that the NLRB has restricted employee free choice through decisions that impact the right to free and fair representation elections, the definition of an independent contractor under the NLRA, a dangerous expansion of the definition of Joint Employer, and the ability to register a decertification election.

Ahead of the hearing, the ABC-led Coalition for a Democratic Workplace sent a letter to the committee regarding concerns over McFerran’s renomination to serve as chair of the Board.
