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.
