New Year, New Development On Old Issue

While we were all enjoying the days leading up to the New Year, the NLRB (somewhat) quietly backtracked again on its deadline for virtually all employers to comply with its proposed posting rule.

You may recall that I wrote on October 13, 2011 about how the NLRB had extended the deadline for compliance from November 14^th to January 31, 2012, with the Board explaining then that the extension was done "to allow for further education and outreach."   No real mention of the fact that there also just happens to be three separate lawsuits pending in which courts in the District of Columbia and South Carolina are being asked to enjoin enforcement and to strike down the rule as being beyond the NLRB's rule-making jurisdiction.
