The rule would require employers to post a notice telling workers about their existing rights under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), just as they must post notices on minimum wage, health, safety, and equal employment opportunity rights. It would neither address the weaknesses in the law nor expand rights under current law. It would simply provide employees with information about their current rights.
