NLRB Issues Final Rule for Notification of Employee Rights
The National Labor Relations Board has issued a FINAL RULE requiring most private-sector employers to post a notice informing employees of their protected rights guaranteed by the National Labor Relations Act. The notice was posted in the August 30, 2011 Federal Register and will be effective on November 14, 2011.
The posting requirement applies to all private-sector employers (including labor unions) subject to the National Labor Relations Act, which excludes agricultural, railroad and airline employers. The final rule takes effect 75 days after it is announced in the Federal Register, which is November 14, 2011.
Employee rights protected by the National Labor Relations Act will apply to both union and non-union workplaces subject to NLRB jurisdiction except small businesses not large enough to have a more than slight effect on interstate commerce. Jurisdiction standards are summarized in the rule.
The “notice of employee rights” will be provided at no charge by NLRB regional offices or can be downloaded from the Board website, www.nlrb.gov.
