To Post Or Not to Post?
The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has issued a Final Rule requiring employers to post a notice of workplace employee rights under the National Labor Relations Act. The notice is available for download at the NLRB web site. The required date to post is no later than November 14, 2011. All employers are required to post a whole bunch of notices, so why is this one raising controversy?
According to a Labor and Employment Alert from Ballard Spahr, both the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) and the National Federation of Independent Business have filed lawsuits in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, challenging the legality of the new notice-posting Rule, and seeking preliminary and permanent injunction of enforcement, on the basis that the NLRB has exceeded its authority by issuing the Rule.
With the deadline approaching to print and post the new Rule, you may want to have a copy handy, and create a Google or Yahoo alert to follow whether in fact you will actually have to post the new Rule. Also note that if your firm posts these types of notices on your computer system as well, then this new Rule would have to be provided in that medium as well.
