Mr. Speaker, this motion is just another attempt to ignore the real damage caused by the NLRB's expanded and unworkable joint employer standard which continues to hurt local businessowners and their workers. Let's not get distracted by this motion. Instead, let's focus on the bipartisan solution which is pending: H.R. 3441, the Save Local Business Act, which simply restores a commonsense definition of employer to provide certainty and stability for workers and employers. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on the motion to recommit and ``yes'' on the Save Local Business Act, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the previous question is ordered on the motion to recommit. There was no objection. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to recommit. The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that the noes appeared to have it.
