Congress of Industrial Organizations
| Branch of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations, the federation of US trade unions. |
| The CIO was established under its present name in 1938, the result of a break away from the American Federation of Labor (AFL) by eight international unions three years earlier. Its first president was John L Lewis. In 1955 the CIO rejoined the AFL, forming a new entity called the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations. |
