On April 17 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit granted an emergency injunction blocking the implementation of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) rule requiring the posting of employee rights. The new rule requires employers to place a poster at the workplace that notifies employees of the rights guaranteed to them under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). The law was to be implemented on November 14, 2011, but was postponed to January 31, 2012 and April 30, 2012. It is now on hold until the fall of 2012. For now, employers do not have to post at the workplace notice to employees about their right to unionize. FMI:www.nlrb.gov
