Exercise 2

Posters by the U.S. Department of Labor (see Chapter 12) are familiar sights in the workplace. In 2012, the NLRB is- and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission sued a Notice Posting Rule requiring most private-sector (EEOC-see Chapter 13) informing workers of their rights employers-regardless of whether their workers were unionized-to post a notice advising employees of their rights under the NLRA. Two federal appellate decisions invalidated this rule; the NLRB announced in 2014 that it would not seek review by the U.S. Supreme Court. Therefore, employers may choose not to post such a message. The workplace poster remains available on the NLRB website [see www.nlrb.gov/poster]. In addition, the NLRB has established a free NLRB mobile app for iPhone and Android users to provide the public with information about the National Labor Relations Act.
From an ethical standpoint, should NLRA posting requirements be different for a nonunionized workplace versus a unionized workplace Explain.
