The proposal to repeal the National Labor Relations Board rule passed Congress narrowly and it is unlikely Republicans can muster the two-thirds majority to override the veto by Biden, a Democrat. In a memo to lawmakers, Biden said the board's rule would ensure that employers cannot evade their legal obligations by controlling workers indirectly through contractors.
