NLRB Further Delays Implementation of Posting Rule

Tue, 01/03/2012 - 12:18

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB or Board) has again delayed the effective date of a new regulation requiring nearly every private-sector employer to post a particular notice informing employees of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act.  Amid legal challenges to the Board’s authority to issue the regulation, the Board first postponed the original effective date of Nov. 14, 2011, to Jan. 31, 2012.  On Dec. 23, the Board further pushed back the date to April 30, 2012, stating that “postponing the effective date of the rule would facilitate the resolution of the legal challenges.” For more information on the regulation, click here, here, and here.
