The National Lumber and Building Material Dealers Association (NLBMDA) welcomes the decision yesterday by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia (D.C.) Circuit invalidating a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) rule requiring nearly six million employers to post an 11-by-17 inch notice regarding employee rights to unionize.

The NLBMDA and KCMA have come out in support of a U.S. Court of Appeals ruling overturning an NLRB rule requiring employers to post a notice regarding the right of employees to unionize.

The U.S. District Court of Appeals for Washington, D.C. on May 7, 2013, overturned a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) rule requiring nearly 6 million employers to post notices encouraging union membership.

WASHINGTON - A federal court ruled last week that employers must post notices that inform workers of their right to join a union.

The National Labor Relations Board has issued a Final Rule requiring most private-sector employers to notify employees of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act by posting a notice.

The National Labor Relations Board has postponed the implementation date for its new notice-posting rule by more than two months in order to allow for enhanced education and outreach to employers, particularly those who operate small and medium sized businesses.

I don’t have a problem with government protecting the rights of workers to unionize but I do have a problem with the feds requiring businesses to promote unionization.
