The board believes that many employees are unaware of their rights under the statute and that the rule will increase knowledge of the NLRA among employees, in order to better enable the exercise of rights under the statute. The final rule establishes the size, form, and content of the notice, and sets forth provisions regarding the enforcement of the rule. The rule will be effective on November 14, 2011.

The U.S. Supreme Court has lowered the standard for proving insider trading involving tipping family or friends in the case of Salman v. U.S. The court held that a gift of inside information to a family or friend is sufficient to prove insider trading tipping liability, even if there is no valuable quid pro quo exchange. This narrows the previous requirement under Newman that required proof of pecuniary benefit or similarly valuable personal benefit. It will likely embolden the government to bring more similar cases as it becomes easier for them to prove a "gift" to a "friend" than a financial gain.
