Court (mostly) upholds NLRB Notice posting requirement

A federal district court judge has ruled the NLRB lawfully implemented a rule requiring employers to post a notice of NLRB rights. The court noted, however, the failure to post a notice could not be a per se violation of Section 8(a)(1). The Board must employ a case by case analysis which should include a finding of interference or infringement upon rights protected by the Act. As a practical matter this provides wide leeway to find a violation in almost all circumstances. The court also rejected the rule's provision that a failure to post could toll the 10(b) limitations period because it conflicted with the statutory mandated period. The requirements become effective April 30.
