NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD

29 CFR Part 104

RIN 3142-AA07


Notification of Employee Rights Under the National Labor 
Relations Act

AGENCY: National Labor Relations Board.

ACTION: Final rule; delay of effective date.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On August 30, 2011, the National Labor Relations Board (Board) 
published a final rule requiring employers, including labor 
organizations in their capacity as employers, subject to the National 
Labor Relations Act (NLRA) to post notices informing their employees of 
their rights as employees under the NLRA. The Board hereby amends that 
rule to change the effective date from November 14, 2011, to January 
31, 2012. The purpose of this delay is to allow for enhanced education 
and outreach to employers.

DATES: The effective date of the final rule published at 76 FR 54006, 
August 30, 2011, is delayed from November 14, 2011 to January 31, 2012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lester A. Heltzer, Executive 
Secretary, National Labor Relations Board, 1099 14th Street, NW., 
Washington, DC 20570, (202) 273-1067 (this is not a toll-free number), 
1-866-315-6572 (TTY/TDD).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 30, 2011 (76 FR 54006), the 
National Labor Relations Board published a final rule requiring 
employers, including labor organizations in their capacity as 
employers, subject to the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) to post 
notices informing their employees of their rights as employees under 
the NLRA. The Board has determined that in the interest of ensuring 
broad voluntary compliance with the rule concerning notification of 
employee rights under the National Labor Relations Act, further public 
education and outreach efforts would be helpful. The Board has decided 
to change the effective date of the rule from November 14, 2011, to 
January 31, 2012, in order to allow time for such an education and 
outreach effort. Member Brian E. Hayes dissented from the adoption of 
the final rule. For this reason, he agrees with any postponement of the 
effective date of the rule. Member Craig Becker would not change the 
effective date of the rule, but agrees that if the date is to be 
changed it should be for purposes of public education and outreach.

    Signed in Washington, DC, on October 6, 2011.
Mark Gaston Pearce,
Chairman.
