As we have previously mentioned, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has mandated that employers post an 11-by-17 inch board in a prominent location explaining the rights of workers to unionize and bargain collectively. The Posting Rule was to take effect on April 30, 2012.
The Posting Rule has been the subject of constant litigation. On March 2, 2012, a federal judge ruled that the NLRB could require employers to hang the poster. However, on April 13, 2012, a federal judge for the district of South Carolina ruled that the NLRB exceeded its authority by requiring employers to hang the poster.
Now, the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia has ruled that the Posting Rule cannot take effect until all of the legal questions have been resolved.
