[/FONT]Employers cannot be required to post a notice that tells their workers they have a right to join a union and bargain for better wages, a federal appeals court ruled in the latest setback for the National Labor Relations Board.The so-called poster rule would have required more than 6 million private employers to post a one-page notice in a prominent place. Labor leaders hoped it would help stem the long decline in union membership in the private sector. Only about 7% of private-sector employees belong to unions.
But in a 3-0 decision Tuesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled the NLRB had overstepped its authority by requiring this "notification of employee rights."

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]More and more anti labor decisions and acts. When will it ever end? The National Assn. of Manufacturers called these posters "aggressive".. How is posting something on a wall notifying people of their rights "aggressive"? We might as well take down minimum wage posters, workplace safety posters now as well, since hey you know they notify people of their rights..[/FONT]
Wait a sec, the NLRB wanted to force employers to put up posts telling workers that they can join unions and bargain for better wages? What? Will workers be required to tell employers the lowest wage they are willing to work for? Remember, we need to be fair.

The NLRB does not have the right to do this. It was the correct decision. From the part you did not quote: "Most workplaces include a variety of notices telling employees of their rights under the law, but business lawyers said Congress did not give the NLRB a similar authority. They said the labor board is supposed to act as a referee or judge in disputes between management and labor, not as an advocate for more union organizing." (emphasis added)
Simply informing workers of their rights is "advocating more union organizing"?
since you think not requiring them to is anti-union, yes. BTW, they do not have a right to a union, just the right to try to unionize. Can't have a union of 1.
:doh
Are you saying there are no minimum wage posters in a workplace? Cuz every place i have worked at i see this somewhere
Or are you saying that workers have to tell their employees the lowest wage they will work for? As in physically tell? Because if so that would be impossible to enforce and make no sense and makes no connection in these two scenarios.
NLRB...unconstitutional
To be fair anything you dont agree with is unconstitutional it seems like.
show me where labor is in the constitution.
there only 18 duties for congress....its not on the list.

Since when is it the responsibility of the employer to promote unionization?No. I said no "its anti labor" meaning that notifying people of their basic work rights is against labor rights as a whole union and non union alike.
So tell me again how is simply informing workers of their rights is "advocating more union organizing"?

Seeing as there was a time when union organizers would be beaten and killed, I can understand how keeping the general peace would necessitate making sure things like that don't happen again.

This is exactly what the court ruled on and they ruled correctly.
Can unionized employers, like most federal and state workers for instance, exercise that same "right" to post that employees could choose NOT TO join the union? Is this type of notification something that you would find on the bulletin board in the teachers lounge?How is posting people their rights "promoteing unionization"?
Yes. Just because you have the right to join the union it does not mean you have to join or try to unionize. You can choose not to be in a union.Can unionized employers, like most federal and state workers for instance, exercise that same "right" to post that employees could choose NOT TO join the union?
