The Senate endorsed the resolution with a bipartisan vote of 50 to 48, and it is now awaiting President Biden&#8217;s approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s Senator Joe Manchin speaking about the <strong>NLRB Joint Employer Rule and Franchising<\/strong> on the Senate Floor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"625\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tPdwkYoB5Zc?si=ddko7QaFCd4fl6c4\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Senator Manchin And Franchising<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Senator Manchin, advocating for the resolution on the Senate floor, emphasized the vital role of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/pickleball-convention\">small businesses<\/a>, particularly in West Virginia, where over 98% of businesses are small-scale enterprises. He expressed concerns that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/american-franchise-act-confusion\">the NLRB&#8217;s joint employer rule<\/a> would impede entrepreneurship and economic growth, urging President Biden to acknowledge the bipartisan rejection of this rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senator Cassidy also underscored the adverse impacts of the joint employer rule on franchisers and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/first-time-fitness-franchisee\">franchise owners<\/a>, highlighting how it could undermine the franchising system. A system which has historically facilitated opportunities for underrepresented groups in the business community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The House of Representatives, led by Representative John James (<em>R-MI<\/em>), supported the companion CRA resolution in January 2024, further signaling bipartisan disapproval of the NLRB rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Manchin&#8217;s Efforts Are Important To The Franchising World<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manchin.senate.gov\/newsroom\/press-releases\/manchin-applauds-senate-vote-to-overturn-biden-administration-rule-threatening-american-franchise-model-small-businesses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Senator Manchin&#8217;s efforts<\/a> to challenge the joint employer rule have been ongoing, with a detailed timeline provided for reference. Additionally, a video recording of his Senate speech is available for viewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his prepared remarks, Senator Manchin condemned the NLRB&#8217;s rule as an instance of executive overreach and partisan politics. He stressed the detrimental effects on small businesses, particularly exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, and emphasized the importance of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/this-business-model-can-dominate-your-market\">preserving the franchise model<\/a> as a pathway to entrepreneurship for many Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, the resolution aims to alleviate confusion and uncertainty among <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/small-business-ideas\">small business owners<\/a> and franchisees, reaffirming that businesses should not be held liable for entities they do not directly control. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, Senator Manchin&#8217;s advocacy reflects a commitment to protecting Main Street businesses (<em>including franchise businesses<\/em>), and fostering economic growth through bipartisan cooperation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a significant move, U.S. Senator Manchin (D-WV) has lauded the Senate&rsquo;s approval of the bipartisan Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution aimed at reversing the National Labor Relations Board&rsquo;s (NLRB) Joint Employer Rule.
