The first "labor unions" were Guild organizations and were very narrow in scope and dealt with only one type of craft activity. The first American labor unions dated from before 1800. The first was founded in 1794 in Philadelphia, by a group of shoemakers and called the Federal Society of Journeymen Cordwainers (shoemakers). In 1866 William Sylvis organized the National Labor Union and worked to organize workers in many different states and of different occupations. In 1869, a group of tailors, led by Uriah P. Stephens, formed the Noble and Holy Order of the Knights of Labor. In 1866, a union was organized that was composed of several associations of skilled workers. This union came to be called the American Federation of Labor, and held many successful strikes under the leadership of Samuel Gompers.
Their labor was sold by their government.

The American Federation of Labor generally focused on improving conditions for workers within the existing capitalist system through collective bargaining and labor strikes. While some members may have supported socialist ideas, the organization's primary goal was to advance the interests of workers within the framework of capitalism.
What "The Knights of Labor" were most interested in is open to interpretation. It depends solely upon what an individual perceives as the true motivation and ultimate goal of the Knights of Labor. Essentially, it was a National Union. Factoid** As the organization splintered and fell into obscurity one group formed what is now the AFL-CIO. The Knights of Labor was more interested in broad reform.
One statement that is false about the National Labor Union is that it was not the first labor federation in the United States. (It was.)

True. By the time World War I began in 1914, the American Federation of Labor (AFL) had approximately 2,000,000 members. The AFL was a significant force in the labor movement during this period, advocating for workers' rights and better working conditions. Its growth reflected the increasing organization of labor in the United States leading up to the war.
it gained membership during the great depression
it was involved in a number of violent strikes
