The Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) was formed by John L. Lewis in 1935 and allowed for the membership of semiskilled and unskilled workers, unlike the American Federation of Labor (AFL) which only allowed skilled workers to join. The International Labor Organization (ILO) is an international organization that was established in 1919 and is not directly related to the formation of the CIO. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is a federal agency that was established by the National Labor Relations Act of 1935 to protect the rights of employees and employers in the workplace, but it is also not directly related to the formation of the CIO.
