NADA Joins Challenge to New NLRB Poster Mandate
WASHINGTON (Sept. 27, 2011) -- As a member of the Coalition for a Democratic Workplace (CDW), the National Automobile Dealers Association on Monday joined a federal court challenge seeking to block the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) new mandate that six million employers — including dealerships — post notices informing employees of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act.
The petition, which argues that the NLRB lacks the statutory authority to require the poster, is the latest in series of steps NADA has taken to oppose the poster rule and several other recent overreaches by the NLRB and the Department of Labor. The CDW complaint and a related statement can be viewed here.
Monday's filing joins others by the National Association of Manufacturers, the National Federation of Independent Business and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Until further notice, however, the NLRB poster must be put up where dealerships normally display federal posters and a failure to do so by Nov. 14, 2011, may be deemed an unfair labor practice. Click here for a downloadable copy of the poster.
