AFL-CIO
AFL-CIO stands for "American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations". It is America's largest federation of labor unions, made up of 53 national and international (including Canadian) unions, together representing over 9 million workers. The AFL-CIO was formed in 1955 when the AFL and CIO merged after a long estrangement. From 1955 until 2005, the AFL-CIO's member unions represented virtually all unionized workers in the United States. A 2005 split left the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), with over a million members, the largest union in the federation.
