NLRB's Posting Rule Invalidated by D.C. Circuit

The U.S Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit recently struck down the National Labor Relations Board’s August 2011 Notice Posting Rule, which would have required employers to conspicuously display a notice informing employees of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act (the “Act”). In National Association of Manufacturers, et al. v. NLRB, the court invalidated the rule because it found all three of the rule’s enforcement mechanisms unlawful. A majority of the court also found that the rule exceeded the Board’s rulemaking authority as delegated by Congress.
