"The AFL–CIO is a federation of international labor unions."

Does that mean that some (many? how many?) of its 12 million members do not live in the United States? --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 09:23, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

AFL–CIO → AFL-CIO – Not only does aflcio.org itself use the hyphen (meaning it is the official name), but MOS:ENBETWEEN states: Generally, use a hyphen in compounded proper names of single entities. AFL-CIO is not a partnership between two unions (which would be AFL–CIO), but the merger of the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations—one entity. —theMainLogan (t•c) 12:12, 16 August 2023 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink). —theMainLogan (t•c) 18:20, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support this move per the reasoning above. Marquardtika (talk) 19:09, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support for the reasons stated at Talk:SAG-AFTRA#Requested move 20 July 2023, which decided this same issue (hyphen vs. dash) for another union formed from two formerly separate unions. SilverLocust 💬 20:31, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Political activities section broken

Can anyone figure out what is happening here?? The header is vertical but the code looks completely fine. Salmoonlight (talk) 01:13, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It looks ok to me. Maybe it is something about how your device handles the (broken) graphs in the previous section? But also since they're broken, I've removed them from the article; preserving them here in the eventuality that they ever start working again. --JBL (talk) 00:39, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
