National Labor Relations Board Postpones Notice Posting Deadline

The National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB") has again postponed its rule requiring employers subject to NLRB jurisdiction to post a notice informing employees of their federal labor law rights. The rule, which is now scheduled to take effect on April 30, 2012, requires employers to post an 11-inch-by-17-inch notice describing employee rights and to publish the notice on an intranet or internet site if the employer customarily uses such channels to communicate with employees about rules and policies. The NLRB postponed the implementation of the rule to facilitate the resolution of legal challenges that have been filed with respect to the rule. Originally, the notice posting requirement was set to take effect on November 14, 2011 and was once already postponed until January 31, 2012.
