On July 19, 2024, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) voluntarily dismissed its appeal of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas decision vacating the NLRB’s 2023 joint-employer rule. Thus, the decision of the Eastern District of Texas will be final.
The rule, which had been set to take effect on March 11, 2024, would have expanded the types of control over job terms and conditions that trigger joint employment. The NLRB stated it would like to consider the issues identified in the Eastern District of Texas’ decision and options for addressing outstanding joint-employer matters. As a result of the Eastern District of Texas’ ruling and the NLRB’s decision to withdraw its appeal, the former 2020 joint-employer rule remains in effect and calls into question the future status of the 2023 rule.
