Note: Some of this information was last updated in 1982

The Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) is a labor union (see more about it here) formed in 1938 to encourage and promote organization of workers in the mass production industries. The founders of the cio (in U.S. law) broke away from the american federation of labor (in U.S. law) because of its emphasis on craft union organization. In 1955 the cio (in U.S. law) merged with the afl (in U.S. law) to form the aflcio (in U.S. law).
