Government Affairs Staff Lobbies to Defund Labor Regulations

In association with CDW coalition partners, NRMCA Government Affairs team was on the Hill this past week asking Members of Congress to support measures that would prevent the federal government from enforcing three Obama-era rules harmful to the ready mixed concrete industry. These rules, put forward by the Department of Labor and the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), include the joint employer rule, the ambush elections rule, and the micro unions rule. Each of these rules has a negative impact on the ready mixed concrete industry.

Each year, the House Appropriations Committee solicits input from Members of Congress as they formulate the next fiscal year’s budget. NRMCA Government Affairs requested congressional offices to support including measures in the appropriations bills that would prevent the Department of Labor and the NLRB from being provided with funding to enforce these regulations. Government Affairs staff will continue to monitor these requests and work to have them included in the budget for the next fiscal year.
