Before the AFL-CIO merger in 1955, the American Federation of Labor (AFL) was primarily an alliance of craft unions, but it began to organize industrial unions as well, especially after the formation of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO), which was an alliance of industrial unions. This move by the AFL was part of the broader labor movement's efforts to adapt to the changing industrial landscape in the United States.
