Industrial Congress

Industrial Congress

The first labor organization gathering to be described as an Industrial Congress was the founding convention of the Industrial Workers of the World, which took place in 1905.

A labor organization with a similar name, the Congress of Industrial Organizations, or the CIO, was founded in 1935 by eight unions that were a part of the American Federation of Labor.
