John L. Lewis established the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) in 1935, after he resigned from the American Federation of Labor (AFL). The CIO was a federation of industrial unions that aimed to organize and represent all workers in a particular industry rather than just skilled workers, which was the focus of the AFL. The CIO played a significant role in the growth of the labor movement in the United States in the 1930s and 1940s.
