AFL–CIO Department of Research
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The AFL–CIO Department of Research performed research to support the political, economic, and legislative goals of the AFL–CIO. While many of the member unions of the AFL–CIO had their own research departments, the national Department of Research focused on providing data and analysis to support the national organization's policy positions. (Despite its name, the Department of Research was not one of the AFL–CIO's constitutionally-mandated trade and industrial departments (groups of member unions with common interests, such as the Building and Construction Trades Department).)
