Federal Law Changes
For Contractors to the Government
|
Beginning on June 21, 2010, federal law requires contractors entering into contracts with the Federal government to:
|
- post notices informing employees about their rights under Federal labor law and
- include provisions in their contracts that require their subcontractors to post the same employee notice
- The notice contains rights under the National Labor Relations Act
(NLRA), 29 U.S.C. 151 et seq.
|
- The NLRA is the primary law governing relations between unions and employers in the private sector.
- The law guarantees the right of employees to organize and to bargain collectively with their employers, and to engage in other protected concerted activity with or without a union, or to refrain from all such activity.
|
|
Who is covered by this rule?
|
- Any contractor or subcontractor that is an employer under the NLRA must comply with this rule. Employers not covered by the NLRA are:
|
- the United States or any wholly owned Government corporation;
- any Federal Reserve Bank;
- any State or political subdivision thereof;
- any person subject to the Railway Labor Act;
- any labor organization (other than when acting as an employer); or
- anyone acting in the capacity of officer or agent of such labor organization.
|
|
- Contractors and subcontractors must post the employee notice conspicuously in and around their plants and offices so that it is prominent and readily seen by employees.
- In particular, contractors and subcontractors must post the notice where other notices to employees about their jobs are posted.
- Contractors that violate the regulations may be subject to sanctions, including suspension or cancellation of the contract. 29 C.F.R. 471.14
- Contractors that violate the regulations may be debarred from holding federal contracts. 29 C.F.R. 471.14
- Contractors may be reinstated upon a finding that the contractor or subcontractor has come into compliance and has shown that it will comply in the future. 29 C.F.R. 471.16
