Ever since it was founded, the American Federation of Labor was focused on improving the conditions for the working class in many ways. In the first years it was founded, the AFL mostly wanted to reduce the working hours and increase the workers' wages, as many workers used to be exploited by their employers. Over time, it started focusing more on coordinating several craft unions of workers so that they might work together to continue to improve their position.
