Notably, Lewis played a pivotal role in establishing the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) in 1935. This federation united millions of industrial workers under one umbrella organization and fought tirelessly for their rights amidst challenging times during the Great Depression. Lewis's leadership was instrumental in shaping labor relations and industrial practices throughout the twentieth century.
