Local Minnesota Business Owners Meet With Chairman John Kline

On Monday, nearly 20 Minnesotans representing the local business community were on hand at Anytime Fitness in Rosemont, Minnesota, to discuss with House Education and Workforce Chairman John Kline (R-MN) their concerns with recent actions by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) that would expand the definition of joint employer.

Mr. Kline was acutely aware of the joint employer issue and expressed his concerns over the number of federal regulations that are coming out of Washington and the negative impact they have on local businesses.“We have some very smart people (staff) who are watching this all the time, looking for ways to stop this onslaught that is coming at us,” Chairman Kline said of the federal regulations.Mr. Kline expressed his support for the Coalition to Save Local Businesses and encouraged members to stay active, “Having a coalition is a terrific idea, because when members hear from people in their districts they’re more likely to listen.” Mr. Kline also suggested that the Coalition reach out to Democrats, “[Joint employer] is not a partisan issue.”

Many of the local business owners pledged to continue outreach to Members of Congress and federal regulators informing them of the challenges they would face with an expanded joint employer definition. Dennis Campbell, a local FASTSIGNS business owner said, “We need to do all we can to make sure Washington gets this right.”
