On Labor Day, I wrote about the mandate from the Obama administration that employers must post a notice about the National Labor Relations Act in a prominent place. I gave some of the details of what is required. There are a lot more. The National Labor Relations Board web site will tell you specifically what must be posted.
But did you know that employers can post their own notice right next to it? Following are some details that can be included in an employer's notice:
Unions can't restrain or coerce employees...
... to join their union.
... to select a union to represent them.
Employees have the right to ...
... choose to remain union free.
... refuse to sign union election petitions.
... refuse to sign union membership or authorization cards.
... discuss the advantages and disadvantages of union representation.
... discuss union membership with their supervisor and management.
It's a good idea to speak with your attorney about it, too.
