The National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”) has extended the deadline for posting workplace notices of employees’ rights. As discussed in our previous Franchise Law Newsletter, the NLRB issued a final rule in August 2011 requiring all private sector employers, subject to the National Labor Relations Act, to post workplace notices informing employees of their rights to participate in union activities and engage in collective bargaining, as well as to refrain from such activities. The notice also provides examples of unlawful conduct and instructs employees on how to contact the NLRB with questions and complaints.

The deadline to post this notice was extended to April 30, 2012 at the request of a federal court in Washington, D.C. that is currently hearing a legal challenge to the rule.
