Taking a stand for employers, Fisher & Phillips LLP filed an official Comment with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) about proposed rulemaking that could be burdensome for employers. The NLRB has proposed a rule requiring employers to notify employees of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act. Employers whose workplaces fall under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) would be required to post the employee rights notice.

While at first blush this might seem benign, the impact on employers would be significant. The Board estimates the cost to employers to post the notice would be $375 million in the first year. The Fisher & Phillips comment challenges that number as being too low.
