WASHINGTON, D.C. — Marc Freedman, Vice President of Employment Policy at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, issued the following statement in response to the Department of Labor's Proposed Joint Employer Rule:
"The U.S. Chamber applauds President Trump and Acting Secretary Sonderling for their swift action to restore certainty for employers on the critical question of joint employment. The proposed rule reverses the damage caused by Biden-era policy and returns to a common-sense framework, equipping businesses, especially small businesses, contractors, and franchisees, with the much-needed clarity they need to grow.
"This is exactly the kind of regulatory relief that supports our economy, empowers employers, and ultimately benefits employees. We commend the Administration and Acting Secretary Sonderling for their commitment to creating a regulatory environment in which businesses can grow and thrive. The Chamber looks forward to working with the Department of Labor to ensure this proposal is finalized and implemented effectively."
