Explanation:

• AFL: The AFL focused on practical improvements for its skilled - worker base. It worked within the existing system, so it would cooperate with corporate and political leaders to achieve workers' goals (like better working conditions). Also, it had the capacity to help settle industrial disputes, improve factory safety, and establish pensions for long - term workers as it was a more established union with a focus on skilled workers.
• IWW: The IWW was more radical. It advocated for a workers' revolution to seize the means of production and abolish the state, as it represented unskilled, foreign - born, and female workers who were more marginalized and sought a more fundamental change in the economic and political system.

Answer:
