Appeals court delays April 30 National Labor Relations Board

In a major setback for the National Labor Relations Board, a federal appeals court today officially put the brakes on a new poster mandate that the NLRB sought to impose on most U.S. businesses starting April 30.
Despite a series of legal setbacks, the NLRB had appeared to be moving ahead with its planned April 30 enforcement date for the controversial new poster requirement. The unusual NLRB rule seeks to require most U.S. businesses to hang new 11″ x 17″ workplace notices advising employees of their rights to organize into unions. Many have called the posters biased and heavily slanted toward unions.

The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals today issued an emergency injunction that blocks the NLRB from enforcing the poster mandate.
