Federal Judge Refuses to Block NLRA Poster Requirement; April 30th Deadline Stands

Following the ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson on March 2^nd that the National Labor Relations Board has the authority to require businesses to display the new NLRA poster, an appeal was immediately filed by the plaintiffs (March 5^th), led by the National Association of Manufacturers.  

Included with the appeal was a request for an injunction to block the poster requirement pending a decision on the appeal.   Two days later – on March 7^th – the federal District Court (for D.C.) denied the request for an injunction, and the April 30^th posting deadline still stands.  

Although the injunction was denied, the appeal filed by the plaintiffs is still in effect, as well as a similar lawsuit brought by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce against the NLRB in U.S. District Court in South Carolina.   The U.S. Chamber is currently awaiting a decision in that case.
