The National Labor Relations Board (the "Board") announced today that it has agreed to further postpone the effective date of its employee rights notice-posting rule. The Board stated that its decision was made at the request of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, which is considering legal challenges to the constitutionality of the rule. The Board’s ruling states that it has determined that postponing the effective date of the rule would facilitate the resolution of the legal challenges that have been filed with respect to the rule. In addition to the Washington, DC case, a lawsuit was filed against the Board in the United States District Court for South Carolina. The new implementation date is now April 30, 2012.
