The Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) broke away from the American Federation of Labor (AFL) in 1935 primarily due to ideological differences regarding labor organizing strategies. The CIO aimed to promote industrial unionism, which sought to organize all workers within an industry, regardless of their specific trades, while the AFL focused on craft unionism, representing skilled workers in specific trades. The CIO believed that a more inclusive approach was necessary to effectively advocate for workers' rights during the Great Depression, leading to the split. This division allowed the CIO to grow rapidly and organize mass-production industries, ultimately influencing labor movements in the United States.
