Under the final rule, hospitals are required to post a notice outlining employees’ rights, including the right to organize a union; bargain collectively; strike and picket; and discuss wages, benefits and other employment conditions with union members. The final rule requires the notice to be printed on a large poster in a conspicuous location.
The district court threw out two provisions under the final rule, arguing NRLB “exceeded the authority granted to it by Congress under the NLRA by promulgating the two provisions under Subpart B that permit the board to deem failure to post an unfair labor practice and to toll the statute of limitations for claims brought by employees against employers who failed to post the notice,” according to the report.
Another lawsuit filed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Coalition for a Democratic Workplace is pending in South Carolina.
