{"abstract":"In order to more effectively administer the National Labor Relations Act (Act or NLRA) and to further the purposes of the Act, the National Labor Relations Board (the Board) proposes a regulation establishing that students who perform any services for compensation, including, but not limited to, teaching or research, at a private college or university in connection with their studies are not \"employees\" within the meaning of Section 2(3) of the Act. The Board believes that this proposed standard is consistent with the purposes and policies of the Act, which contemplates jurisdiction over economic relationships, not those that are primarily educational in nature. This rulemaking is intended to bring stability to an area of federal labor law in which the Board, through adjudication, has reversed its approach three times since 2000.","action":"Notice of proposed rulemaking; request for comments.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD","name":"National Labor Relations Board","id":355,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/national-labor-relations-board","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/355","parent_id":null,"slug":"national-labor-relations-board"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2019/09/23/2019-20510.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":103,"title":29}],"citation":"84 FR 49691","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2019-11-22","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Comments regarding this proposed rule must be received by the Board on or before November 22, 2019.
