As we wrote in February and October of last year and January of this year, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has been trying to require employers to post a notice informing employees of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA).  Until today, the deadline for compliance was April 30, 2012.  

The United States Court of Appeals in Washington, DC is considering a legal challenge to the posting requirement brought by various business groups.  Today the Court temporarily prohibited the NLRB from requiring the posters, thus allowing time for briefing and argument (to be set for September).  We’ll provide updated information when it becomes available.

If you have any questions about compliance with NLRB requirements, please contact the Foster Pepper Employment and Labor Relations Practice Group.
