The District of Columbia Court of Appeals has issued an injunction that prohibits the National Labor Relations Board from implementing its final rule on notice of employee rights, according to a report by McGuireWoods.
The NLRB's final rule required all employers subject to the National Labor Relations Act, which includes most hospitals, to post a notice to employees informing them of their rights under the Act by April 30. Although the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia struck down only parts of the final rule in March, a federal district court in South Carolina ruled the board does not have the authority to promulgate the final rule at all earlier this week.
Now, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals has set a hearing date in September to settle the confusion on the conflicting decisions and has enjoined the NLRB from implementing the posting rule until the litigation process is over.
