On August 26, our colleague Lisa Berg posted an article on the National Labor Relation Board’s (NLRB) new rule requiring employees (union and non-union) to post a notice informing employees of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act, including the right to organize a union, form, join, or assist a union, bargain collectively, discuss wages, benefits, and other conditions of employment, raise complaints, strike or picket, and choose not to do any of these activities. The NLRB’s rule required covered employers to post the notice by November 14, 2011. Today, the NLRB postponed the implementation date of the notice-posting rule by more than two months to allow for enhanced education and outreach to employers, particularly those who operate small and medium sized businesses. Covered employers are now required to post the notice by January 31, 2012. If the date changes again, we will update the blog.
