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)
- Support this move per the reasoning above. Marquardtika (talk) 19:09, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
- 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)
