Answer - C - The AFL-CIO is an example of a federation, which is a group of national unions.

Key Takeaway: AFL-CIO stands for the American Federation of Labor/Congress of Industrial Organization. The AFL-CIO was the voice of labor in America until the summer of 2005 when four major national unions (Service Employees International Union, International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Unite Here, and United Food and Commercial Workers) left the federation. Options A and B cannot be correct as AFL-CIO is a group of national unions. In addition, AFL-CIO is not an international labor organization.
