Judge rules against NLRB union poster rule

The Hill reports:
A federal judge ruled Friday that the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) exceeded its authority when it required employers to post notices explaining workers’ rights to form a union.

U.S. District Judge David Norton said in his ruling that Congress didn’t authorize the labor board to issue the poster rule. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce had challenged the NLRB regulation in federal court in September last year.
