Raise the revenue thresholds for NLRB jurisdiction

Not started

594 18. Department of Labor and Related Agencies

“Congress should enact legislation increasing the revenue thresholds at which the National Labor Relations Board asserts jurisdiction over employers to match changes in inflation that have occurred since 1935 and better reflect the definition of “small business” used by the federal government.”

What has happened

  1. Not started

    No bill of the 119th Congress raises the National Labor Relations Board's jurisdictional revenue thresholds. The thresholds are not statutory in any event — the Board set them by decision in 1958 and has never revised them — and the Board has opened no rulemaking or standard-setting proceeding to do so.

    No action found yet. This entry is the starting point, not a finding.

Research notes

  • Negative search: chapter log, Cluster negative search — the NLRB statutory asks (#1635, #1649).
  • The Board’s own regulatory agenda for the window carries one representation-case rulemaking and the joint-employer conforming rule (#1627); nothing on jurisdictional standards.
