Legal Challenges to NLRA Poster Requirement Grow
January 26th, 2012The latest development in the ongoing case in U.S. District Court (D.C.) of National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) v. National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is a new motion challenging the legality of President Barack Obama’s recent recess appointments to the NLRB, which were made without Senate confirmation.
NAM, the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) and several other business groups filed the suit to block the new NLRA poster requirement, which has been postponed twice and now has a new posting deadline of April 30th.
The new filing by the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) and the National Right to Work Foundation (NRTW) argues that the NLRA poster requirement can only be implemented and enforced by a legitimate board.
The motion was filed after NLRB lawyers notified the court that President Obama’s new recess appointees were now parties in the ongoing legal case.
We will publish an updated federal labor law poster with the new NLRA poster before the new April 30 deadline. This new federal poster will be covered under our Poster Compliance Center OneSystem 1-Year Compliance Plan with automatic updates.

NLRA Poster Deadline Postponed Until April 30
December 23rd, 2011The deadline for posting the new NLRA poster (National Labor Relations Act) for private employers has been postponed until April 30, 2012, by the NLRB (National Labor Relations Board).
This is the second time the NLRB has postponed the poster requirement. The first postponement was from the original effective date of Nov. 14, 2011, to Jan. 31, 2012.
The deadline was postponed today by the NLRB at the request of Judge Amy Berman Jackson of U.S. District Court (D.C.), following a Dec. 19 hearing to consider legal arguments in the case of the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) v. NLRB.
NAM, the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) and several other business groups filed the suit to block the new NLRA poster requirement.
We will publish an updated federal labor law poster with the new NLRA poster before the new April 30 deadline. This new federal poster will be covered under our Poster Compliance Center OneSystem 1-Year Compliance Plan with automatic updates.
