January 31, 2012 is the new date in which employers are required to post an official notice of employee rights under the National Labor Relations Act. This announcement was made by the National Labor Relations Board on October 5, 2011. The original date was scheduled for November 14, 2011.
The NLRB postponed implementation of the new posting requirement to “allow for enhanced education and outreach to employers, particularly those who operate small and medium sized businesses.” The NLRB cited confusion over which businesses fall within the jurisdiction of the NLRA as the reason for postponing the new poster requirement.
There was no mention of the legal challenges from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers that claim the NLRB has over stepped its bounds by actively promoting unionization.
The heat is on the current NLRB after a number of union-friendly actions that are touching a nerve with the business sector. Stay tuned for more battles on the labor front.
