U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson recently upheld in part a rule by the U.S. National Labor Relations Board that requires employers to post a notice detailing employees’ rights under the National Labor Relations Act. The employers’ request to enjoin the NLRB from enforcing the rule until their appeal of the court order upholding the posting requirement is decided was denied by Jackson, who said they had not established that the posting requirement would cause them to suffer irreparable harm. Additionally, Jackson said it was “undoubtedly in the public interest” to enhance employees’ awareness of their rights.
