The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), which mediates conflicts between unions and businesses, is thinking about increasing the obligation to inform employees about their union rights. The new regulation was proposed at the end of December and subject to discussion for 60 days. Five thousand comments were posted and will be taken into consideration for the final regulation which could be published within a few months. In the draft, the NLRB asks businesses to display, on a board visible to all, information on union rights and the negotiation of working conditions. Likewise, emails will have to be sent to employees to spread information better. According to the NLRB, “Many employees, protected by labor law, don’t know their rights, so we need to inform them so they can exercise their rights, and promote compliance with the law by employers and unions.” Since 2009, private businesses willing to work for the public authorities have to display such information on their premises.
