Research Associates of America (RAA) is the surviving non-profit organization following the dissolution of the Food and Allied Service Trades Department, AFL-CIO (FAST) as a result of the split in the labor movement. We remain dedicated to assisting unions on both sides of the split with cutting edge research, training and strategic and tactical planning in struggles to improve the lives of their members.
FAST, a name well-known throughout the labor movement, now means “Fish Around and Start Trouble.”
The FAST-RAA Labor CD 2008/Labor DVD 2008 is now ready for distribution. Please use the ORDER FORM to place your order. Due to the size of the databases it has become necessary to split the data in order to fit the database on a CD or DVD. As a result there are two (2) different Labor discs available:
1. Labor CD 2008 - Database #1 contains: NLRB Elections, Petitions and ULPs; FMCS; LORS; TAA; EEOC; and Wage & Hour Data (615 Mb).
2. Labor DVD 2008 contains: Database #1 + Database #2 [Foreign Labor Certifications (H1-B, PLC, and H2-B); Canadian Labour Agreement Information and Labour Organization registered with the Mexican Federal Government] (1.41 Gb)
