Central Labor Union (Toledo, Ohio)
Variant namesThe origins of the Central Labor Union can be traced to 1879, when a group of separate trade unions met to form the Trade and Labor Council of Toledo and Vicinity. The council was reorganized as the Central Labor Union in 1881, and became a charter member of the national organization in 1892. The CLU sought to organize all labor; they promoted anti-child labor legislation, an eight-hour work day, fair wages, prison labor reform, compulsory education, and equal pay for equal work for both sexes. In 1955, it merged with the Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO). Today the CLU remains active as the Toledo AFL-CIO.
