NLRB Poster Rule Enjoined Indefinitely: DC Circuit | Practical Law
On April 17, 2012, the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit enjoined the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) from requiring employers to post a notice informing employees of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) by April 30, 2012. The injunction in National Association of Manufacturers v. NLRB maintains the status quo while the court evaluates an appeal about the validity of the NLRB's poster rule. The court's injunction order followed an April 13, 2012 decision in Chamber of Commerce of the United States v. NLRB, where the federal District Court for the District of South Carolina granted summary judgment in favor of the plaintiffs, holding that the NLRB lacks authority under the Administrative Procedure Act to issue the rule.
