On July 22, CDW filed an amicus brief with several other employer organizations in Alphabet Workers Union v NLRB, a case before the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit in which the NLRB is attempting to  expand the joint employer standard beyond its statutory authority.

The following can be attributed to CDW Chair Kristen Swearingen:

“The NLRB is once again attempting to expand the joint employer standard beyond what is tolerated by the law. The agency is trying to blur the lines between routine contracting relationships and employment relationships in an attempt to give unions access to new members, despite the fact that this interpretation violates the National Labor Relations Act. CDW hopes the DC Circuit recognizes that the Board’s decision in this case was contrary to the law and cannot be allowed to stand.”
