The National Labor Relations Board has pushed back the deadline for compliance with its controversial requirement that employers post a notice explaining workers’ rights to form unions.According to a NLRB press release, the board postponed the effective date of the requirement from Nov. 14 to Jan. 31 of this year.
Why? “In order to allow for enhanced education and outreach to employers, particularly those who operate small and medium sized businesses,” the NLRB statement said.
“The decision to extend the rollout period followed queries from businesses and trade organizations indicating uncertainty about which businesses fall under the Board’s jurisdiction, and was made in the interest of ensuring broad voluntary compliance. No other changes in the rule, or in the form or content of the notice, will be made,” the statement continued.
The press release doesn’t mention two pending federal lawsuits — both of which claim the NLRB overstepped its jurisdiction by requiring employers to post the notice.
