The Associated Press reported on Friday, August 26, 2011 that the National Labor Relations Board has approved a new rule that requires private employers to display posters that inform workers about their right to form a union. Find a link to the full article here.

All private employers who are subject to the National Labor Relations Act, with the exception of the U.S. Postal Service, will need to begin posting the notices by November 14, 2011. Copies of the notices are available at the NLRB website (see more here) and at regional offices. Failure to post the notice could be treated as an unfair labor practice under the National Labor Relations Act.
