Now, under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), most federal contractors and subcontractors, by law, must inform employees of their rights.

  

The Department of Labor's regulations implement Executive Order (E.O.) 13496 E.O. 13496 advances the Administration's goal of promoting economy and efficiency of Federal government procurement by ensuring that workers employed in the private sector and engaged in activity related to the performance of Federal government contracts are informed of their rights to form, join, or assist a union and bargain collectively with their employer. Knowledge of such basic statutory rights promotes stable labor-management relations, thus reducing costs to the Federal government.

 

Pursuant to Executive Order 13496 and its implementing regulations, 29 C.F.R. Part 471, Federal contractors and subcontractors, beginning on June 21, 2010, must notify employees about their rights under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA).

 

The NLRA is the primary law governing relations between unions and employers in the private sector, and guarantees the right of employees to organize and to bargain collectively with their employers, and to engage in other protected concerted activity with or without a union, or to refrain from all such activity. 

Additionally, Federal contracts and subcontracts must include a provision requiring Federal contractors and subcontractors to post the notice.”

  

Display the correct federal employment poster for compliance. This poster details those employment rights, including the authority to organize and bargain collectively with their employers and to engage in other protected activity. The federal labor law posting provides contact information for the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the agency responsible for enforcing the NLRA.

 

Executive Order 13496 was signed by President Barack Obama on January 30, 2009 (74 FR 6107, February 4, 2009). 

 

Again, be sure you stay in compliance by acquiring and properly displaying this poster by the mandatory June 21, 2010, deadline.
