NLRB Gives Up on Poster Fight

On January 6, 2014, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) gave up on its fight to require all employers to post a notice informing employees of their right to form a union.  The NLRB’s mandatory poster rule was invalidated by two separate U.S. Courts of Appeals, and the prospects of the NLRB winning at the Supreme Court were slim.  This brings a conclusion to a fight that began in 2011 when the NLRB ordered all employers to post the notice, which many argued was biased in favor of unions.
