4th Circuit Again Tells NLRB To Pound Sand Over Board’s Direction That Employers Hang Paper

On Aug. 12, 2013, in a one sentence Order, the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected a request for rehearing by the NLRB in the case that invalidated the Board’s attempt to require employers to post a Notice advising employees of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act. More controversially, the Board’s rule would have also made failure to post the Notice a separate violation of federal labor law, evidence of anti-union animus and would have extended the statute of limitations for all unfair labor practice charges filed against any employer who failed to comply with the posting requirement.
