The NLRB announced on August 24, 2011, that it has issued a final rule that will require employers to notify employees of their rights under the NLRA and that makes a failure to post the notice an unfair labor practice. The rule will be published in the Federal Register on August 30 and will take effect 75 days later, on November 14, 2011. Under the final rule, nearly all private-sector employers (including labor organizations) will be required to post the employee rights notice in a location where the employer typically posts other workplace notices; agricultural, railroad and airline employers are excluded from this requirement. In addition, the rule requires employers who as a matter of custom post notices to employees regarding personnel rules or policies on an internet or intranet site to post the Board’s notice on those sites. The notice will become available on, or before, November 1, 2011. AE will keep its members informed.
