Purpose The RLB was organized by Hermann Göring in 1933 as a voluntary association. Existing volunteer air raid precaution associations were forced to merge with RLB.

RLB was dissolved by the Allied Powers after the end of World War II. Its successor in the Federal Republic of Germany was the Bundesverband für den Selbstschutz.

Railroad Labor Board
The Railroad Labor Board (RLB) was an institution established in the United States of America by the Transportation Act of 1920. This nine-member panel was designed as means of settling wage disputes between railway companies and their employees. The Board's approval of wage reductions for railroad shopmen was instrumental in triggering the Great Railroad Strike of 1922. The Board was terminated on May 20, 1926 when President Calvin Coolidge signed a new Railway Labor Act into law.

Raiffeisenlandesbanken
Raiffeisen Bankengruppe is the larger of two groups of cooperative banks in Austria (another one was Austrian Volksbanks). Structure The roughly 490 local cooperatives (''Raiffeisenbanken'') are organized in nine ''Raiffeisen-landesbanken'', one for each federal state, with only Vienna and Lower Austria sharing one. Only Carinthia has two ''Raiffeisenlandesbanken'', with the ''Zveza Bank'' serving the Slovene minority. Owned by their respective member banks, most ''Raiffeisenlandesbanken'' are cooperatives themselves (regGenmbH), with some having recently switched to the legal status of Aktiengesellschaft. Together, they own their national umbrella institute, the Raiffeisen Bank International, via a shareholders' agreement. * Raiffeisenlandesbank Niederösterreich-Wien AG * Raiffeisenlandesbank Oberösterreich AG, * Raiffeisen-Landesbank Steiermark AG * Raiffeisenlandesbank Burgenland regGenmbH * Raiffeisenlandesbank Kärnten - regGenmbH * Zveza Bank, r.z.z o.j.
