The main of the labor law posters is to
educate the employees about their rights so that they are assured about the
protection of their employment rights and cannot make false claim on the
organization’s working environment. There are numerous kinds of posters
designed for each law such as Safety poster for Job Health and Safety Law, minimum wage poster for Minimum Wage
Law, Workers with disabilities poster for Employee Right for Workers with
Disabilities/ Special Minimum Wage Law and many more. The latest addition in
the important labor law posters is NLRA poster. NLRA stands for National Labor Relations Act and the poster
specification for this poster are set by National Labor Relations Bureau
(NLRB).
The federal court in Washington, D.C.,
supported the new requirements of the poster. NLRA poster is mandatory to be
posted in all private sector organizations that have unions working in their
businesses. NLRB has mandated that all private sector employers post the
official notices in large size to inform the employees about their rights under
NLRA. However, the labor law is also required in those organizations that do
not have unions currently. Almost all the private sector employers who fall
under the jurisdiction of National Labor Relations Bureau (NLRB) have to comply
with the requirement of NLRA poster and only airlines, railroads and
agricultural employers are exempted from this mandatory requirement.
Hence, National Labor Relations Bureau
(NLRB) has mandated that the NLRA poster is posted along with other employee
notices so that the employees are well-aware of their rights. According to
National Labor Relations Bureau (NLRB), the notice size must be 11 x 17 inches
and should be so long that the employers can reproduce the same poster with
similar format, content, size, font or font size. Hence, the employers of the
private sector must instantly post the poster so that they abide with the labor
law poster regulations.
