The Federal Labor Relations Authority has announced enhancements to tools for researching its decisions at www.flra.gov/authority_decisions.
A new "quick search" feature makes it easier to retrieve decisions by allowing users to search for a decision using any of the decision’s page numbers rather than just the first page number.
Additional search options make it easier for users to conduct more precise or focused research by limiting searches by case type – arbitration, negotiability, unfair labor practice, or representation – and issuance date — using defined parameters such as "before or after," "last 30 days," or "last 3 years."
Further, it said a "decision text" feature now allows for more complex searches, including the use of exact phrases, root expanders, proximity searches – searching for one term within a certain number of words of another search term – and connectors, such as "and," "or," and "but not."
