Effective Jan. 31, 2012, metalcasting facilities and almost all other private sector businesses must post notices to their employees informing them of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act. Among other things, the new notice will contain:

•  a summary of employee rights, with examples of violations of those rights by either employers or unions, and an affirmation that unlawful conduct will not be permitted;
•  information about the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the board’s contact information, and details on how to file a charge with NLRB;
•  notice of the six-month statute of limitations for filing charges with the board.

The notice must be posted and maintained where it can be readily seen by employees. A copy of the notice is now available at no cost from NLRB’s website at  www.nlrb.gov/.
