Relationship Details

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) issues a final rule, effective November 14, 2011, requiring employers subject to the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) to post notices informing employees of their rights under the Act. The Board states that many employees are unaware of their rights, and this rule is intended to increase that knowledge, enable the exercise of those rights, and promote statutory compliance. The document provides background on the NLRA and justifies the need for the rule by highlighting a "knowledge gap" among workers, especially given that there are very few circumstances where employers are currently required to provide this information.
