The KoL was an organization founded by Uriah Stephens in 1869. It accepted skilled and unskilled workers, women, and people of any race, unlike many other labor unions. They fought for eight-hour workdays and equal pay for women.

The AFL was a labor union that only allowed skilled workers to enter, so no women or people of other races. It was founded by Samuel Gompers in 1881, and it focused on getting better working conditions for the working class. They used collective bargaining to gain higher wages and shorter workdays.
