Effective June 21, 2010, federal contractors and subcontractors must post the NLRA Poster advising employees of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act ("NLRA").  Required by the Department of Labor ("DOL"), this notice informs employees about their rights to form and join a union, and to bargain collectively with their employer.  It also provides examples of unlawful employer and union conduct that interferes with employees' rights under the NLRA.  This new posting requirement does not apply to prime contracts under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold of $100,000 or to subcontracts below $10,000. 

 

Covered entities must post the notice in conspicuous places in a plant or office so that the notice is prominent and readily seen by employees.  Failing to comply with this posting requirement may result in sanctions and penalties including, but not limited to, cancellation of an existing contract or debarment from future federal contracts.  For more information see the DOL Fact Sheet on this requirement
