Last week, we updated you concerning the National Labor Relations Board's (NLRB) plans to implement a final rule requiring almost all private employers, unionized and non-unionized, beginning January 31, 2012, to post a notice of employee rights under the National Labor Relations Act as well as multiple legal challenges to that rule being brought by employer groups in Washington, D.C. and South Carolina. You may access that update here.
Now, faced with a request from the federal court in Washington, D.C. hearing one of the legal challenges to the rule, the NLRB has agreed to postpone, again, its planned implementation of the final rule until April 30, 2012. Postponing its implementation of the rule, the NLRB says, will facilitate resolving the pending legal challenges.
Employers should monitor carefully the progress of the two pending legal challenges but otherwise continue preparing for the now-delayed April 30, 2012 implementation of the NLRB's posting rule.
