Labor Aerospace Research Agenda

The Labor Aerospace Research Agenda (LARA), founded in 1998 as an independent project affiliated with LAI, is supported by the United Auto Workers and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers.

LARA focuses on the impact of changes in funding, organization, and technology on the aerospace workforce and on the implications of the diffusion of new work practices.
