This letter raises concerns about the NLRB joint employer rule's ``impact on all small businesses, contractors, and franchisees around the country.'' Particularly, the letter notes that the rule could ``impact minority- owned small businesses and franchisees that rely on these contracts to sustain and grow their businesses.'' The letter continues: ``The franchise model has been a driver for minority entrepreneurship and job creation by allowing budding entrepreneurs to partner with well-known brands and bolster local ownership of Main Street businesses around the country. It has also been particularly successful on ramping first- and second-generation immigrants into business ownership.'' Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to consider these views, vote ``yes'' on H.J. Res. 98, and overturn the Biden NLRB joint employer rule. I reserve the balance of my time.
