It's just a poster.

On August 30, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) issued a rule that requires companies to notify employees of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act (rights they've had for 70 years) -- simply by hanging a poster. The right-wing responded accordingly. Learn more at http://www.americanrightsatwork.org/poster

It's a burden only if you are planning on denying workers' their rights.

[Rawlsrocks]

There is only one group of people who are against hanging up this poster: The very same people who are against worker having those rights in the first place!

@ElizabethGS 1. Check the meaning of the word "advertise".  2. I do not feel threatened by anything, please read ALL my post, I am all for treating every employee with respect and giving them good working conditions and fair pay. 3. I am not married, you jump to conclusions and do not understand analogies.

@merveil3979 It doesn't 'advertise' rights. It merely states the rights ALREADY earned by the workers now having access to seeing them in writing. This threatens you somehow, just as the mere thought of your wife reading a book about divorce also threatens you (your analogy is a tell). That your wife could read that self-same book in a bookstore or library sails over your head. What it IS about is your not wanting anyone educating either the wife or the worker.

Workers have no rights. Only businesses have rights according to the GOP and the Supreme Court

So being informed is bad.

I see.

@jhamptonjr Stop the insanity. What makes you assume that she KNOWS the book exist? You miss the point.

It's pretty much true that no company ever got a union it didn't deserve.

@quizerry Power-play? Why? What is really in it for them? Now a corporation...They being a FOR PROFIT agency, unlike the NLRB...Not seeing the motivation for the NLRB. I wouldn't doubt that right wing assholes (redundant!) think the unions PAY the NLRB, but that is rather unlikely. Too easy to trace.

The poster is no big deal, and should be hung in every work place. What is a big deal is the fuss that Big Business has made over it. Of course they don't want workers to know their rights. While it's true that a happy workplace makes happy employees, these happy workers still have the right to know just what their workers' rights are.

I have been in a union, (IAM) worked in management supervising union drivers & former Teamsters, worked in NY & FL, two polar opposites when it comes to workers rights & treatment & I can say this without fear of contradiction: Treat your employees fairly & they will be happy to come to work. Treat them like crap, and you've got a union potential. Simple-but some many businesses treat their employees like disposal diapers & then are surprised when they retaliate. Fair treatment=happy employees

[AllPowerfullSoviet]

The problem is that it is required.
