On July 19, the NLRB withdrew its appeal of the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of Texas’s decision nullifying the Board’s joint employer final rule.

The following can be attributed to CDW spokesperson Ed Egee:

“CDW applauds the decision by the NLRB to withdraw its defense of this unlawful rule. They saw the writing on the wall. The rule could not withstand legal scrutiny.

“If the rule had gone into effect, it would have had devastating consequences for our economy and decimated business models that have fueled the American dream. Congress and the courts already recognized the rule’s inherent flaws, and CDW is glad the Board has finally acknowledged them as well.”
