There is no information available about a US nonprofit organization named "AMERICAN FED OF LABOR & CONGRESS OF IND" with the EIN 344374658. However, it appears there might be confusion with the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO), which is a well-documented trade union federation.

If the requested organization does not exist or is not well-documented, an article cannot be written. Please verify the details and ensure the correct name and EIN are provided for any further assistance.

However, for clarity, here is a brief overview of the AFL-CIO, which might be the source of confusion:

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

Overview

The AFL-CIO is a national trade union center and the largest federation of 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): Founded in 1886, it focused on organizing workers into craft unions.
• Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO): Established in 1935 as a committee within the AFL, it officially broke away in 1938 to organize workers in mass production industries along industrial union lines.

Merger

The merger of the AFL and CIO in December 1955 created the AFL-CIO, combining the strengths of both entities to better represent American workers.

Functions and Mission

The AFL-CIO engages in lobbying, grassroots organizing, and supports progressive labor policies. It represents nearly 15 million active and retired workers through its 61 member unions.

Membership and Structure

Major unions include the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), American Federation of Teachers (AFT), American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), and United Food and Commercial Workers.

Governance and Activities

The organization is governed by a quadrennial convention where delegates from member unions elect officers and set policy. Significant political activities include lobbying, get-out-the-vote campaigns, and supporting labor-friendly candidates.
