What this bill would do
The "Know Your Labor Rights Act" aims to amend the National Labor Relations Act. It requires employers to post notices explaining employee rights and protections in both physical and electronic locations. The Board must make the text of these notices available to the public for free on its website. Additionally, employers would be required to notify every new employee of this information. The bill also establishes penalties for employers who fail to comply with these posting requirements.
