Pennsylvania Industrial Union Council
Variant namesBiographical notes:
Eight international unions left the American Federation of Labor (AFL) in 1938 and reorganized as the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO). The Pennsylvania CIO, then called the Pennsylvania Industrial Council, took with it the vast majority of unions from the Pennsylvania Federation of Labor. It operated as an affiliate of the CIO until 1957 when the Pennsylvania CIO merged with the Pennsylvania Federation of Labor to form the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO.
