New Labor-Rights Poster Requirement for Federal Contractors
Client Alert | 1 min read | 05.24.10
All federal prime contractors who enter into contracts of $100,000 or more, and subcontractors who enter into contracts of greater than $10,000, arising from a solicitation issued by the government on or after June 21, 2010, must post a notice at each of their workplaces informing employees of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act ("NLRA"). A final rule, issued by the Department of Labor on May 20, 2010, implements Executive Order 13496, signed by President Obama on January 30, 2009, to supplant the Bush-era "Beck Notice," and mandates the language of the notice.
The poster details employees' rights with respect to union activity, and provides examples of unlawful conduct by employers and unions in violation of those rights. Click here for the full text of the final rule. Contractors should take appropriate action to ensure they are in compliance with this new posting requirement.

AI Companies Prevail in Path-Breaking Decisions on Fair Use
Last week, artificial intelligence companies won two significant copyright infringement lawsuits brought by copyright holders, marking an important milestone in the development of the law around AI. These decisions – Bartz v. Anthropic and Kadrey v. Meta (decided on June 23 and 25, 2025, respectively), along with a February 2025 decision in Thomson Reuters v. ROSS Intelligence – suggest that AI companies have plausible defenses to the intellectual property claims that have dogged them since generative AI technologies became widely available several years ago. Whether AI companies can, in all cases, successfully assert that their use of copyrighted content is “fair” will depend on their circumstances and further development of the law by the courts and Congress.
