In the late 1800s, what was the focus of the American Federation of Labor?

The American Federation of Labor (AFL), founded in 1886, focused mainly on practical improvements for workers, including shorter hours, safer workplaces, and the right to organize into unions. It was led largely by skilled workers, so supporting unskilled workers was not its central focus. The correct choice is “work hours, safety, and the right to organize.”
