The American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations has a complex history, but it is this history that helps explain the current structure of the AFL-CIO.

The union movement went through growing pains, and through a variety of experiences with management and the laws of the country, the union matured and took on more of a business perspective.
