The famous 19th-century activist Peter McGuire was assigned a nickname, Father.
McGuire most likely did more than anyone else to persuade skeptical, local-minded union activists across the country that a national labor federation was not only necessary, but also feasible. The formation of the AFL and its survival in its early years would have been impossible without his unwavering enthusiasm and practical example.
