The Know Your Labor Rights Act amends the National Labor Relations Act to require private‑sector employers to display clear notices about employees’ NLRA rights. The notices must be posted in places where workers and job applicants normally see postings, both in physical locations and online, and new hires must be informed of the content. The bill also sets up civil penalties for employers who fail to comply, with fines up to $500 per violation.

Key Provisions

Employers must post a standardized notice describing NLRA rights in conspicuous physical and electronic locations where employee notices are typically displayed.
The National Labor Relations Board (Board) must create and make available the notice form and text on its website at no cost to employers.
Employers must notify each new employee of the information contained in the posted notice.
If an employer violates the posting requirement, the Board can issue an order to comply and impose a civil penalty of up to $500 per violation.
