LABOR LAW UPDATE

As discussed in our August 25, 2011 and September 9, 2011 Bullard Alerts, the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”) implemented a final rule last month requiring employers covered by the National Labor Relations Act (“NLRA”) to post a Notice informing employees of their rights under the NLRA. Pursuant to that rule, employers are required to post the Notice by November 14, 2011.

The NLRB announced yesterday that the workplace poster containing the required Notice is now on its website and available for download. You can view and download the 11 x17 inch poster by clicking on this link: http://www.nlrb.gov/poster.

On October 17, 2011 Bullard Law will be presenting a Roundtable to discuss the Board’s posting requirements and strategies for insulating your company from the negative effects of the postings, including ideas for counter-postings. Invitations for the Roundtable will be sent shortly.

We will continue to apprise you of additional developments related to this rule and other labor issues.
