The American Federation of Labor (AFL) is longest standing federation of labor units in the United States. Despite its prestige, the AFL has had its fair share of upsets. For example, the Federation extolled the values of equality, yet discriminated against black workers in the late nineteenth century. The AFL also lobbied Congress to reinstate the Chinese Exclusion Act, discouraging consumers to purchase cigars rolled by Chinese workers, and approached the treatment of women workers much in the same way as black workers, perpetuating the long-standing attitudes of both racism and sexism.
