Restructuring

I'm pretty much engaging in a full rewrite, so I figured a fresh Talk page is probably a good idea. The previous discussion is archived here. Carrite (talk) 22:10, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Federal Labor Unions =

I have a paragraph I would like to add about the establishment of the federal labor unions between 1933-1935 which were organized on an industrial basis and chartered by the AFL itself rather than a craft union, brotherhood or guild that already was a member of the Federation. These FLUs became a touchstone for the debate about industrial unionism that proceeded the establishment of the CIO. This would be my first edit in Wikipedia. I would like to add it in the New Deal Years section. Jadudley (talk) 13:42, 5 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Commonly called "A.F. of L."

In those days, the American Federation of Labor was commonly referred to as the "A.F. of L." I changed all references to "AFL" to the actual usage of the day. In the Warner Bros. cartoon, Broom-Stick Bunny, there was actually a poke at the A.F. of L. by showing a union membership certificate that declared that Witch Hazel was a member of the "Malevolent Order of Witches, A.F. of Elves."

Edit: Actually Witch Hazel (Looney Tunes) for the proper link. Bill S. (talk) 11:41, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
