Searching for WERC Labor Relations Decisions in PDF Format


[Search WERC Website for Labor Relations Decisions in PDF Format].

The WERC website includes a database of PDF files consisting of WERC and WERC examiner decisions and related court decisions in labor relations cases issued both prior to and since July, 1989. Because the pre-July, 1989 files had to be scanned and optical character recognized rather than converted from word processor files, they take longer than the files for the more recent decisions to view, print or download, and their search reliability is limited to the accuracy of machine-based character recognition.

The WERC website PDF archive of labor relations decisions can be multi-file searched with the State of Wisconsin's UltraSeek search engine. UltraSeek will access more than 98% of the files in the database, missing only the very largest of the files in the database.

The decisions in the WERC database can also be searched with other web search engines, such as Google and Yahoo. While those commercial search engines may be able to find all of the WERC files regardless of their size, the search features, reliability and user-friendliness may not be comparable to those available with UltraSeek searches.
