Deadline!
On April 30 two important new NLRB rules become effective. First, all employers subject to NLRB jurisdiction will be required to have posted a notice advising employees of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act. Previous posts here. The poster can be downloaded for free here. Second, the Board will begin operating under a new set of rules for conducting representation elections. Employers would be well served to perform a current vulnerability assessment, including taking affirmative steps to be prepared to respond promptly to any union organizing activity in their workforce.
