Dominant Unions in History
The AFL was created in response to the Citizenâ??s Alliance, which used open shop and welfare capitalism to prevent union organization. Open shops were not really open, they were just anti-union. Welfare capitalism involved improving supervisory practices, implementing hiring and firing procedures, offering wage incentives, providing insurance benefits, encouraging a positive culture, improving work environment and safety and providing employee voice. The AFL stands for the American Federation of Labor and attempted to establish and maintain standards at work through work rules.
