On December 23, 2011, the National Labor Relations Board announced that it had agreed to again postpone the effective date of its controversial Employee Notice Posting Rule. In the news release announcing the postponement, the Board confirmed that the postponement was agreed to at the request of the federal court in Washington, D.C., which is hearing one of the legal challenges to the Notice Posting requirement.
