CIO also stands for the '''Congress of Industrial Organizations,''' a coalition of industrial unions that split away from the [[AFL]] in the late 1930s under [[John L. Lewis]]. The CIO and AFL fought bitterly in the late 1930s; both grew very rapidly during [[World War II]], and both supported the [[New Deal Coalition]] of [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] and [[Harry S. Truman]]. Many Communists held positions of power in the CIO until they were purged in 1947-48.  The CIO reunited with the AFL in 1955 to form the AFL-CIO, which remains the largest coalition of labor unions.
