NLRB Posting Rule Will Not Go Into Effect April 30

April 23, 2012 - As we posted earlier this month, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia upheld the National Labor Relations Board’s rule requiring most private employer to post a notice informing employees of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act.  Accordingly, the notice posting rule was expected to take effect next week.  A district court in South Carolina, however, subsequently held that the NLRB exceeded its authority and struck down the rule.  In the face of these conflicting decisions, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia enjoined the NLRB from enforcing the notice-posting rule, and the NLRB issued a statement advising that its regional offices will not implement the rule pending a resolution by the Court of Appeals.
