Couple of quick updates.
Sean Brailey, Contract Data Engineer, Labor Education and Research Center, transcribed the l_county table from the codebook for the CHIPS dataset.
The CHIPS dataset contains information about NLRB cases from 1984-2000, and with Sean’s work we can now quickly see the top five counties for RC cases in those sixteen years: Cook, IL; Los Angeles, CA; New York; NY; Wayne, MI.
Previously, we had the addresses of cases, so this type of analysis was possible before, but with much more effort.
It looks like our long effort to try to get more unique identifiers for unions and employers for the F7 Intent to Bargain notices has run its course. According the the FOIA officer, the fields we want from their case management system are not used even though they are present in their database schema.
So, back to record linkage.
