"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]
