The American Federation of Labor (AFL) & Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO)
The National Labor Union was the first labor organization that began in 1866. It was formed to build a national coalition of local trade unions. It disbanded in 1874.
The American Federation of Labor (AFL) and the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) joined together to form the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO).
In 1955 the AFL and CIO settled their differences and merged into one extremely large labor organization. All the major national unions in the United States today except the National Education Association are affiliated with the AFL-CIO.
National Socialist Factory Cell Organization ended in 1935.
the Knights of Labor became a national labor organization in the 1880's. Unlike most union's Knights recruited people who had been kept out of trade unions including women, African Americans, immigrants, and unskilled laborers.
The National Labor Relations Board.
National Labor Relations (Wagner) Act increased the rights of unions and created the National Labor Relations Board. Employers had to recognize and work with Unions that claimed the support of a majority of workers in that company. The National Labor Relations Board was set up to investigate unfair practices against labor and protected the right of workers to organize and join unions. The Taft-Hartley Labor Act was amended to enlarge the powers of the NLRB and allowed the government to intervene in strikes affecting the nation's safety or health.
The first U.S. coal labor union appeared in Illinois in the 1890s. By 1900 unions were present in five other states. Eventually, the United Mine Workers of America (UMW), a national organization, became the dominant labor influence in the industry.
A new level of African political responsibility and organization coupled with labor unrest and the formation of labor unions resulted in a surge of nationalism. In the 1950â??s, a surge of Tanzania nationalism resulted in the formation if the Tanzania African National Unions.
