UPDATE: NLRB employee union rights poster rule thrown out in court

On June 14, 2013, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit in Richmond, Virginia, also ruled that the National Labor Relations Board overstepped its authority by issuing a rule that would have required employers to post notices informing workers of their rights under federal labor law, including the right to unionize. That court covers the states of Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia.
