Formation of the Committee for Industrial Organization

November 9th, 1935 89 years ago

In Atlantic City, New Jersey, eight trade unions established the Committee for Industrial Organization (CIO), aiming to represent the industrial workforce within the American Federation of Labor. The CIO sought to enhance labor rights and improve working conditions through collective bargaining and organized strikes. This initiative marked a pivotal shift in labor organization tactics, as it prioritized industrial unions over craft-based unions, emphasizing solidarity among workers across various industries.
