A federal judge ruled Friday the National Labor Relations Board can require most private businesses to put up posters telling workers they have a legal right to form a union.
But U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson limited how the board can enforce the requirement. She said simply failing to display the new NLRB poster isn’t automatically a legal violation without other evidence of anti-union conduct.
The ruling disappointed business groups that argued the new poster is too one-sided and seems to encourage workers to join unions. The posters, to be displayed effective April 30, explain workers’ rights to bargain collectively, distribute union literature and engage in other union activities without reprisal. They also explain that workers have a right not to join a union.
“We are concerned that this decision will encourage frivolous lawsuits by unions against small business owners who refuse to comply,” said Karen Harned, an executive director of the National Federation of Independent Business, which challenged the poster rule.

How about a poster stating workers have a right not to join a union??????????????
Yea hang it right next to the union poster with a sign in between saying OR.
If Unions at workplaces want signs posted on Businesses property, “The Posting Boards”, then the Business owners should demand that the unions lease the appropriate space on the posting board from the Business owner, and the Business owner can charge whatever price he/she wants to charge for the use of their space, If the unions do not agree to the price for the use of the posting board, then they the union official simply do not have the authority to use the space which belongs to the business owner.
This is the same as people who wish to lease storage units, the storage units belong to the property owner and the owner sets the price he/she will accept for the available size storage unit.
for every positive union poster put up 2 anti union posters. give the communist a taste of their own BS
