"NOTICE: On January 2, 2002, the Federal district court for the 
District of Columbia issued a decision in UAW-Labor Employment 
& Training Corp. v. Chao, holding that Executive Order 13201 is 
invalid because it conflicts with the National Labor Relations Act. 
Executive Order 13201, the Beck posting Order, requires 
Government contractors to post notices informing employees of 
their rights not to join a union or pay certain union fees. The court 
permanently enjoined the Department of Labor from implementing 
and enforcing Executive Order 13201. The Department is 
considering options for responding to the decision."
