NLRA Posting

Initially scheduled for implementation in November of 2011, the NLRA posting requirement was postponed until January 31, 2012, due to a number of legal challenges. Now at the request of the federal court in Washington, DC, the NLRB has agreed to further postpone the effective date. The new effective date for the NLRA posting requirement is now April 30, 2012.

As of April 30, 2012, all employers subject to the National Labor Relations Act (“NLRA”), which essentially includes all employers other than public-sector employers, must post a mandatory notice that informs employees of their rights under the NLRA. This notice informs employees of the following: (1) the rights employees have under the NLRA, such as the right to organize or join a union, the right to participate in collective bargaining, the right to take collective action with other employees, and the right not to join a union; (2) employer actions that are illegal under the NLRA; (3) union actions that are illegal under the NLRA; and (4) how to contact the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”) to report a union or employer’s violation. Employers may obtain a free copy of the notice on the NLRB’s website or by contacting an NLRB regional office.[1]

Because of the looming legal challenges, RKRB will keep close watch on further developments and take steps to keep you informed.
