labor movement throughout the 20th century was not the industrial
unionism that emerged in the 1930s with the Congress of Industrial
Organizations or CIO, but rather the occupationally based unionism
historically associated with the American Federation of Labor or AFL. There was
an important story at the board meeting: Dubinsky had decided that his
union ought to secede from the nascent Congress of Industrial
Organizations (CIO) to return to the American Federation of Labor. The American Federation of Labor and Congress on Industrial
Organizations as the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee, with
Chavez as its president, chartered the union in 1966. |
