Employee Rights Labor Law posting date delayed to April 30, 2012. After a hearing on the issue, a federal court in Washington, DC requested postponement of the posting rule effective date.

Those were November 14, 2011 and January 31, 2012. If you have already posted the NLRA Employee Rights notice, please keep it posted on the wall as there is no penalty for complying early and every indication from the NLRB points to this requirement going into effect.
