National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) just extended the posting deadline to April 30, 2012.
Previous posting deadline of November 14, 2011 has just been extended to April 30, 2012. This will provide plenty of time for businesses to obtain and post the new required notice.
New Poster Issued by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB)
On August 25th, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) adopted a new regulation that requires most private employers to post a notice informing employees of their right to organize and bargain collectively with their employers, and to engage in other protected concerted activity or to refrain from engaging in any of the above activity.

Frequently Asked Questions
 |
Who is exempt from the NLRA Notice? |
 |
Most private employers are required to post the new notice. However, the Act specifically excludes public sector employees, agricultural and domestic workers, independent contractors, workers employed by a parent or spouse, and employees of air and rail carriers covered by the Railway Labor Act.
|
|
|
Are entities subject to the new NLRA required to comply with the law now? |
|
No. Starting April 30, 2012, private employers whose workplaces fall under the National Labor Relations Act will be required to post this new employee rights notice where other workplace notices are typically required. |
|
|
What exactly is the NLRA Act and what kind of information is on the NLRA Notice? |
|
The Act basically informs employees of their rights to unionize under Federal laws. Employees shall have the right to self-organization, to form, join, or assist labor organizations, to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing, and to engage in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection, and shall also have the right to refrain from any or all such activities.
|
|
What if I communicate with employees electronically? |
|
In addition to the physical posting, the rule requires every covered employer to post the notice on an internet or intranet site if personnel rules and policies are customarily posted there. Employers are not required to distribute the posting by email, Twitter or other electronic means. |
|
|
How will the Board enforce the rule? |
|
Failure to post the notice may be treated as an unfair labor practice under the National Labor Relations Act. The Board investigates allegations of unfair labor practices made by employees, unions, employers, or other persons, but does not initiate enforcement action on its own.
|
|
What will be the consequences for failing to post the notice? |
|
The Board expects that, in most cases, employers who fail to post the notice are unaware of the rule and will comply when requested by a Board agent. In such cases, the unfair labor practice case will typically be closed without further action. The Board also may extend the 6-month statute of limitations for filing a charge involving other unfair labor practice allegations against the employer. If an employer knowingly and willfully fails to post the notice, the failure may be considered evidence of unlawful motive in an unfair labor practice case involving other alleged violations of the NLRA.
|
|
|
What is the difference between this new notice and the Employee Rights Required by Federal Contractors? |
|
The content will be similar. Businesses that already have the Employee Rights Notice that was mandated previously will be in compliance. Businesses posting either versions will be considered in compliance. Previously only Federal contractors were required to post the notice. Now most private employers will be required to post the notice by April 30, 2012. |
|
|
How is the new NLRA poster being incorporated on the Complete poster considering the size? |
|
LaborLawCenter™ has conveniently incorporated all the required posting on the Complete Labor Law Poster without sacrificing size or visibility.

|
Yes. The Complete Labor Law Posters and Federal Labor Law Posters will be updated to reflect the new NLRA required
11” x 17” posting requirement. In addition, businesses may choose to participate in an ongoing compliance program. For more information, visit our Compliance Management Services page. |

Things to know about the NLRA
The National Labor Relations Act
The NLRA was enacted by Congress in 1935. It was hailed at the time and for many years after as the Magna Carta of American labor. Previously, employers had been free to spy on, interrogate, discipline, discharge, and blacklist union members. But in the 1930's workers began to organize militantly. A great strike wave in 1933 and 1934 included citywide general strikes and factory takeovers. Violent confrontations occurred between workers trying to form unions and the police and private security forces defending the interests of anti-union employers. Some historians believe that Congress adopted the NLRA primarily in the hopes of averting greater, possible revolutionary, labor unrest.
The NLRA guaranteed workers the right to join unions without fear of management reprisal. It created the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to enforce this right and prohibited employers from committing unfair labor practices that might discourage organizing or prevent workers from negotiating a union contract. The recent new posting requirement was proposed by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and is known as the NLRA Act poster or Employee Rights Notice. Previously only Federal contractors were required to post the notice but now, most private employers are required to post a similar notice by April 30, 2012.
