Given the information you've provided, it appears there might be some confusion between the request for a specific nonprofit organization and historical labor organizations in the United States. The American Federation of Labor & Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) is a well-documented entity, but the specific nonprofit organization with the EIN 952240022 does not match any widely recognized historical or current data related to AFL-CIO. Therefore, I can provide a general overview of the AFL-CIO but not a specific nonprofit with that EIN.

American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO)

Overview

The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) is the largest federation of labor unions in the United States. It was formed in 1955 through the merger of the American Federation of Labor (AFL) and the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO).

History

American Federation of Labor (AFL)

The AFL was founded on December 8, 1886, by Samuel Gompers, who would become its major spokesperson. Initially composed of craft unions, the AFL focused on protecting the rights of skilled workers. Over time, it expanded its reach by organizing on an industrial basis to meet the challenge from the CIO in the late 1930s.

Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO)

The CIO was originally formed on November 9, 1935, as the Committee for Industrial Organization (CIO) within the AFL. Led by John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers, it sought to organize workers across entire industries, particularly in mass production sectors like steel, auto, and rubber. After being expelled from the AFL in 1937, the CIO became a rival federation and played a pivotal role in organizing unskilled and semiskilled factory workers.

Merger and Impact

In 1955, the AFL and CIO merged to form the AFL-CIO, creating a unified voice for American labor. The organization has since become a powerful force in U.S. politics and labor rights, often supporting progressive policies and advocating for workers' rights.

As for the specific nonprofit organization with EIN 952240022, without additional details, it's challenging to create a detailed article.
