The dementia patient and his fellow communists having another rough week
In a short, unsigned order issued Thursday morning, the Supreme Court vacated the July 10 stay orders from the U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, in which the lower court sided with plaintiffs — environmental groups Wilderness Society and Appalachian Voices, which had sued to stop the pipeline construction. The 4th Circuit ruling was opposed by the Biden administration, bipartisan lawmakers and the fossil fuel industry.
In adopting this new standard, the final rule rescinds the 2020 final rule that was promulgated by the prior Board. The new final rule more faithfully grounds the joint-employer standard in established common-law agency principles. In particular, the 2023 rule considers the alleged joint employers’ authority to control essential terms and conditions of employment, whether or not such control is exercised, and without regard to whether any such exercise of control is direct or indirect. By contrast, the 2020 rule made it easier for actual joint employers to avoid a finding of joint-employer status because it set a higher threshold that a putative joint employer must “possess and exercise . . . substantial direct and immediate control” over essential terms and conditions of employment, which has no foundation in common law. The new rule also provides extensive guidance to parties regarding their rights and responsibilities in situations where joint-employer status has been established.This is another example of why the Supreme Court must reverse the Chevron ruling and remove the lawmaking powers from our regulatory agencies. Congressional review is not enough to reign in these (well lets just call them what they are) economic terrorist within our federal agencies.
