The National Labor Relations Board is delaying for a second time a rule that requires employers to display worker's rights, including the right to organize a union.
The board already postponsed the effective date once due to confusion over which businesses are required by law to put up a poster informing employees of their right to form a union. According to the Associated Press, there have been at least three major lawsuits challenging the board's authority to require companies to put up the poster.
Major business groups have been trying to block the rule, and, BusinessWeek reports, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson asked the board at a court hearing on Dec. 19 for a delay after groups led by the National Association of Manufacturers and National Federation of Independent Businesses said the NLRB lacked the power to require union-organizing posters in the workplace.

Therefore, the NLRB has postponed the effective date of its employee rights notice-posting rule to April 30.
According to the NLRB ruling, it has come to the conclusion that postponing the rule's effective date would help solve the legal challenges that have been filed because of the rule.
NLRB has no comment on the ruling.
Most private-sector employers must post the 11-inch by 17-inch notice on the new implementation date of April 30. A complementary notice may be attained from the NLRB through its website, which also includes additional information on posting requirements and NLRB jurisdiction.
