American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations, commonly AFL-CIO, is America's largest federation of unions, made up of 53 national and international (including Canadian) unions, together representing over 9 million workers. The AFL-CIO was formed in 1955 when the AFL and the CIO merged after a long estrangement. From 1955 until 2005, the AFL-CIO's member unions represented virtually all unionized workers in the United States. Since 2005, when several large unions split with the federation, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), with over a million members, is the largest union in the AFL-CIO.
International policy
The AFL-CIO is affiliated to the Brussels-based International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (www.icftu.org). The ICFTU is the most representative international labor grouping. The AFL-CIO also sponsors the American Center for International Labor Solidarity.
