Question
- why did the cio want to be an industrial union rather than a craft union, like the afl?the cio believed an industrial union was stronger than a craft union.an industrial union would have more members than a craft union.industrial unions called more strikes than craft unions did.craft unions were for unskilled workers, not skilled workers.
The CIO (Congress of Industrial Organizations) favored industrial unionism over the AFL's (American Federation of Labor) craft union model because industrial unions organize all workers in a single industry, regardless of skill, which the CIO viewed as a more powerful structure for advocating for workers' rights compared to craft unions that only organize workers of a specific trade. The other options are incorrect: industrial unions not necessarily having more members is not the core reason; strike frequency was not the motivation; and craft unions actually represented skilled, not unskilled, workers.
