Did the AFL frequently go on strike?

The American Federation of Labor (AFL) did not frequently go on strike as an organization, but its member unions often engaged in strikes and labor actions to negotiate better wages, working conditions, and labor rights. The frequency of strikes varied depending on the economic climate and specific industries. Major strikes associated with the AFL occurred during periods of heightened labor activism, particularly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Overall, while strikes were a common tactic, they were not an everyday occurrence for the AFL itself.
