American Federation of Hosiery Workers

The American Federation of Hosiery Workers (AFHW) was a labor union representing workers involved in manufacturing hosiery.The union's origins lay in the United Textile Workers of America (UTWA), which in 1913 formed a craft group named the American Federation of Full Fashioned Hosiery Workers.On rejoining the UTWA, it adopted its final name.[1] However, in 1951 it split from the TWUA and received a new charter from the AFL, transferring in 1955 to the new AFL–CIO.[4] In 1976, it merged with the TWUA and the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, to form the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union.
