3. Discuss wages and benefits and other terms and conditions of employment with co-workers or union
4. Bargaining collectively
5. Strike and picket
6. Take action to improve working conditions (including filing complaints and seeking help from a union)
The rule will take effect on April 30, 2012. The NLRB is requiring that this notification be posted and the posted notice be no smaller than 11” x 17".
