The National Labor Relations Board wants to require your company to put up a poster explaining how your employees can form a union.
In a press release, the NLRB said it believes “many employees protected by the National Labor Relations Act are unaware of their rights under the statute.”
Their answer? A mandate that employers post notices explaining workers’ rights to bargain collectively, distribute union literature or engage in other union activities.
The notice would be similar to those covering other federal employment law, like the Fair Labor Standards Act (FlsA), Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).
The NLRB is asking for public comments on the proposal. They can be submitted electronically to www.regulations.gov, or by mail or hand-delivery to Lester Heltzer, Executive Secretary, NLRB, 1099 14th Street NW, Washington DC 20570.
A fact sheet and further information about the proposed rule is available here.
