NLRB EXTENDS NOTICE POSTING RULE REQUIREMENTS
The National Labor Relations Board has agreed to postpone the effective date of its controversial employee rights notice-posting rule at the request of the federal court in Washington, DC hearing a legal challenge regarding the rule. The Board’s ruling states that it has determined that postponing the effective date of the rule would facilitate the resolution of the legal challenges that have been filed. The new implementation date is April 30, 2012.
As we have advised our clients in previous alerts, almost all private sector employers, unionized or not, including companies hiring white collar employees only, will be required to post the 11x17 notice. It is available on the NLRB's web site, www.nlrb.gov. For additional information concerning an employer's obligation under federal labor and how to respond to employee questions once the notice is posted, consult any CB&D attorney.
