ABC Supplemental Poster for NLRB Ruling
The NLRB recently finalized a rule that will require all employers covered by the National Labor Relations Act to post in their workplace a notice informing their employees of their rights to unionize. In consultation with ABC General Counsel Maury Baskin, we have a supplementary notice informing employees of their right to not unionize as well. You can download that notice, along with an informative letter here.
It is important to note that this supplemental notice is not a substitute for the original NLRB notice, but an optional supplement to it. A legal challenge to this requirement is currently being filed (the Coalition for a Democratic Workplace which ABC chairs will be filing suit along with other groups, and ABC will also likely file an amicus brief in the case). The earliest this requirement will go into effect is November 14, 2011. The notice required by the NLRB is available at www.nlrb.gov/poster.
