BOSTON, Mass. (January 2, 2006) - Cambria Interactive (CI), a division of Cambria Consulting, designed a revised and enhanced interactive website for the National Labor Relations Board (NRLB) that will enable users to transact business online with the agency more easily. The revised site – www.nlrb.gov – is a key component of the NLRB’s effort to enhance its E-Government services through better access and ease of use, agency officials said.
The NRLB cited several important enhancements as integral to the development and launch of the new website. Among
them are:
- The entire site was redesigned with a uniform format and user-friendly interface. An improved navigational structure makes it easier for users to find information. The search engine will provide easier access to case documents
and data. - A searchable database was added to the site that contains detailed public information, including docketing events, related documents, and dates in cases pending before the Board and in cases at the Regional Offices.
- More document collections have been posted, including briefs filed with the U.S. Courts of Appeals.
- A new feature – My NLRB – using portal technology that will allow users to establish their own “accounts.” Registered users with “My NLRB” will be given a User ID and password to sign in so the site will remember them. Establishing an account will benefit users who E-file documents because the system automatically fills in data fields on E-filing forms. My NLRB also will let registered users save details from previous visits, such as searches.
- The site provides for expanded E-filing options. Specifically, the General Counsel expanded the program for filing documents electronically with Regional, Sub-regional and Resident Offices and the GC’s Office of Appeals, using the site’s E-filing system. In addition, the Division of Judges will now accept documents electronically, using the site’s E-filing system.
In a statement, Chairman Robert J. Battista and General Counsel Ronald Meisburg said, “The new NLRB website and expanded E-filing program are consistent with the President’s E-Government policy to make government services more efficient, transparent, citizen-centered, and results-oriented. The site reflects our pursuit of two important E-Gov initiatives. First, to increase the ability of the public to transact business online with the agency. Second, to use technology to improve our internal case management systems. These efforts are reducing the agency’s reliance on traditional paper-based processes, introducing operational efficiencies, and enabling the agency to better serve the public and accomplish our mission. Our new site is one of the best in government.”
This is the fourth release of the website, since the agency first began publishing decisions online at a Department of Commerce bulletin board in 1994. User traffic on the NLRB site has risen dramatically over the years. In 1997, the site had 100,000 hits per month; in 2003, at the time of the last major site upgrade, traffic was 1.5 million per month. Today, the site averages 3.8 million hits per month.
