National Labor Relations Board Postpones 'Poster Rule' Until Jan. 31

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) announced earlier this month that it is postponing implementation of its “poster rule” from Nov. 14 until Jan. 31.

The rule requires employers across the country to hang 11-inch by 17-inch posters in a prominent area in their workplace informing employees of their right to form a union.

NAHB opposes this rule and other prominent business organizations including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Association of Manufacturers and the National Federation of Independent Business have sued the NLRB over the  rule.

While the NLRB’s jurisdiction covers most small business owners, firms with less than $500,000 in gross annual business will be exempt from the requirement.

NAHB will continue to work with other business organizations to keep this rule from being implemented.
