Because of such fierce opposition from big business, much of the later labor union activity was carried on in secret. Such was the case in the organization of the first relatively permanent national labor union, the Knights of Labor, organized in 1869 in Philadelphia. Headed by Uriah S. Stephens, the union admitted all workers, regardless of skill, race, or position. The Knights of Labor sought to educate public opinion about the true situation of labor, avoiding the label given them by corporations as troublemakers being driven by greed. Who formed the first relatively permanent labor union, the Knights of Labor? Stephens
The Knights of Labor was a significant labor union that welcomed workers from various trades and industries, regardless of their skill level or occupation. Founded in 1869, it sought to unite all workers to advocate for better working conditions, fair wages, and labor rights. The organization's inclusive approach distinguished it from other unions of the time, which often focused on specific trades.
The American Federation of Labor was one of the first federations of labor unions in the United States wich was founded in Columbus, Ohio. In 1881 the Federation of Trades and Labor Unions was founded. Five years later the organization changed its name to the American Federation of Labor. Based on the Trade Union Congress in Britain, the AFL's first president was Samuel Gompers. He held conservative political views and believed that trade unionists should accept the economic system.
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.
