NDAA
Today the House voted in a bipartisan manner to pass the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2018.

The NDAA authorizes more funding in support of our military, including funds for additional aircraft, ships and vehicles, as well as pay raises for our troops and increased defense measures for our allies.

While the NDAA isn't perfect, it will work towards making our military more efficient and our troops safer.

Joint-Employer Hearing
On Wednesday of this week, the House Education and the Workforce Committee held a hearing on the current joint-employer standard.

In August 2015, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) expanded the joint-employer standard to define joint employers as those who have direct or indirect control over employees. Under the new joint-employer standard, employers who contract with a separate company can share control over that company’s workforce.

For example, the standard allows franchisers to control and heavily monitor franchisees, including in the areas of hiring, firing and other day-to-day operations, creating unnecessary burdens for franchisees.

Witnesses at the hearing included small business executives, employment lawyers and professors, among others. They largely condemned the standard, and many agreed that it leads to fewer small business, less freedom and more lawyers.

Wisconsin in DC
Thank you to Wisconsin members of the American Association of School Administrators for stopping by my office in support of public education.

It was also a pleasure to have the Warpinski family in the office to discuss policy that affects children's health care.
