The NLRB just announced a proposed rule requiring businesses to post notices in break rooms to inform employees of their rights to to bargain collectively, distribute union literature or engage in other union activities without reprisal. The NLRB issued a statement saying: “The intended effects of this action are to increase knowledge of the NLRA among employees, to better enable the exercise of rights under the statute, and to promote statutory compliance by employers and unions.” The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking will be published in the Federal Register tomorrow, and members of the public can submit comments on the proposal for 60 days, until February 22, 2011. We’ll keep an eye on this for you, and will have a response ready for you as soon as the ink dries on this one!
