New Effective Date for NLRB Ruling:
NLRB Further delays Rule Requiring Posting of Employee Rights:
On December 30th, the National Labor Relations Board announced that the effective date for last summer's final rule requiring employers to post 11 X 17 inch notices in the workplace informing employees of their rights to unionize under the NLRA would be pushed back a second time.
