NLRB Releases Employee Rights Poster Under New Rule
Meanwhile, the rule itself is facing both legislative and legal challenges. Two bills – the Employee Workplace Freedom Act (H.R. 2833) and the Employer Free Choice Act (H.R. 2854) – were introduced in the House of Representatives earlier this month. Both of these measures would rescind the posting rule as well as prohibit the NLRB from promulgating or enforcing “any rule that requires employers to post notices relating to” the NLRA.
In addition, last week the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to nullify the rule, claiming the Board exceeded its authority in issuing it. In a press release, NAM President and CEO Jay Timmons said: “This rule is just another example of the Board’s aggressive overreach to insert itself into the day-to-day decisions of businesses – exerting powers it doesn’t have.”
