The American Federation of Labor (AFL) primarily fought for the rights and interests of skilled workers and labor unions in the United States. Founded in 1886, the AFL aimed to improve wages, working conditions, and hours for its members through collective bargaining and organized labor actions. It focused on promoting the needs of its affiliated trade unions, advocating for better labor laws, and opposing exploitative labor practices. The AFL was particularly concerned with issues affecting skilled laborers, though it gradually began to include broader labor interests over time.
