The National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”) published in the Federal Register yesterday a Final Rule requiring most private-sector employers -- even if not unionized --to notify employees of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act ("NLRA") by posting paper and, where applicable, electronic notices identifying those rights.
The Rule, which was highly controversial due to the perception of some employers that it is intended to unfairly foster union organizing, will take effect 75 days from today. Employers covered by the NLRA should begin posting the notice on November 14, 2011. Employers engaged in interstate commerce (which includes employers who buy, sell, or ship more than $50,000 of goods or services from out of state) typically fall within the jurisdiction of the NLRA.
