Research Associates of America (RAA) is the nonprofit organization created following the dissolution of the AFL-CIO's Food and Allied Service Trades Department (FAST) that resulted from the split in the labor movement in 2005. RAA continues the FAST mission of assisting unions with cutting-edge research, training, and strategic and tactical planning.

(According to www.fast-raa.com/, FAST, a name well-known throughout the labor movement, now means “Fish Around and Start Trouble.”)

Approximately a half-dozen research and clerical employees at RAA are protected by a contract that is bargained and enforced by the Washington-Baltimore Newspaper Guild.
