Q & A For New Federal Labor Law Poster About NLRA Rights
May 26th, 2010Here are the answers to some of the questions you may have about the new NLRA federal labor law poster, “Notice of Employee Rights Under Federal Labor Laws”, which must be posted beginning June 19 by federal contractors and subcontractors.
Q: Are there any exceptions to the posting requirements?
A: Yes. The requirements do not apply to prime contracts under $100,000 or subcontracts below $10,000, according to the Department of Labor Fact Sheet.
Q: Is there a notice requirement in addition to the posting requirement?
A: Yes. Federal contracts and subcontracts must include a provision requiring federal contractors and subcontractors to post the notice. This means that the text of the “Notice of Employee Rights” must be inserted into federal contracts and subcontracts.
Q: Will the employee notice poster be required in languages other than English?
A: Yes. Contractors and subcontractors will be required to provide the employee notice poster in languages spoken by the employees if “a significant portion of the workforce is not proficient in English”. These translations will be issued by the Department of Labor at a later date.
Since the NLRA “Notice to Employees” applies only to federal contractors and is not a general requirement, it will not be added to our federal labor law poster. However, a new all-in-one Federal Contractor poster, which will include the NLRA notice, is now in production.

Thanks for this update. Do you know when your poster will be available to order?

@ June 2nd, 2010 at 14:21Since the NLRA “Notice to Employees” poster applies only to federal contractors, this poster will not be added to our federal labor law poster and is not covered by our 1-Year Compliance Protection Plan. We now offer an all-in-one Federal Contractor Poster including the new NLRA poster. You can check out our June 2nd blog at http://www.postercompliance.com/blog/ for more information.
