The CIO
Political Action Committee (CIO PAC) was established in July 1943 to support
Franklin D. Roosevelt’s 1944 presidential campaign. After the 1944 election, the CIO
maintained PAC as its permanent political action apparatus until the CIO merged
with the American Federation of Labor in 1955. CIO PAC, funded by member contributions, provided financial
assistance to CIO-endorsed
candidates and supported pro-labor legislation. Amalgamated Clothing Workers president Sidney Hillman
directed CIO PAC from 1943 until his death in 1946. When Jack Kroll took over in 1955, CIO PAC merged with
Labor’s League for Political Education and a year later became the newly
formed AFL-CIO’s Committee on Political Education.
The CIO
PAC collection consists of correspondence with state CIO PAC offices and
numerous pamphlets and reports on election campaigns and issues of concern to
organized labor.
