<\/a>WASHINGTON — Employers, including union and non-union bus companies, covered by the National Labor Relations Act must now post notices on bulletin boards informing employees they have a right under federal law to organize and be represented by a labor union.<\/p>\nThe National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) issued that final ruling last week after concluding many workers are not aware of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act.<\/p>\n
If employers communicate with employees regarding personnel issues via the Internet or an internal company Intranet, they must also post the notice on those sites, ruled the NLRB.<\/p>\n
The New York Times<\/em> reported that this is the first time, since passage of the National Labor Relations Act in 1935, that employers have been ordered to post notices about employee rights to organize.<\/p>\n\u201cThis rule ensures that workers\u2019 rights are effectively communicated in the workplace,\u201d said AFL-CIO President Rich Trumka. \u201cIt is necessary in the face of widespread misunderstanding about the law and many workers\u2019 justified fear of exercising their rights under it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The ruling does not affect railroads or airlines as they are covered by the Railway Labor Act, which is administered by a separate federal agency, the National Mediation Board.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
