Tagged: Workplace Posting

Now well over a year ago, the National Labor Relations Board (the “Board” or “NLRB”) issued a rule requiring most private sector employers to post a notice of employee rights to unionize in their workplaces. The posting requirement was initially to take effect on November 14, 2011. The requirement was postponed, first, until January 31, 2012, and, then again, until April 30, 2012 in light of legal challenges to the rule. Prior to the April 2012 “effective date,” the NLRB announced that it would once again postpone the rule–this time indefinitely “until the legal issues are resolved.” As recently reported, the Board’s great laid plans may go further awry in light of a federal appellate court decision challenging the NLRB’s ability to take any further action until at least one more Board Member is lawfully appointed. For answers to questions regarding the posting, or the Boards’s current state of affairs, please feel free to contact an attorney in the Gibbons Employment & Labor Law Department.
