WASHINGTON, June 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Teamsters General President Sean M. O'Brien issued the following statement regarding the ruling from the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) on The Atlanta Opera, Inc., which revives an Obama-era rule that makes it easier for workers to organize and join unions: 

Key Points: 
  • Misclassification of employment status is the latest tool that employers have deployed in their fight against workers.
  • "The new ruling from the NLRB makes it more difficult for employers to deceptively misclassify workers and avoid paying employee-related expenses, like unemployment insurance, workers' compensation, and Social Security.
  • "The Teamsters remain committed to helping workers across the country raise their voices and get their fair share.
  • Founded in 1903, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters represents 1.2 million hardworking people in the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico.
