The Baltimore Federation of Labor (BFL), an affiliate of the American Federation of Labor, was formed in 1883, in Baltimore, Maryland.[1]

The Baltimore Federation of Labor was considered to be conservative. It was allied with the United Garment Workers of America. In 1913, it had a battle with the Wobblies for representation of Baltimore garment industry workers.[2]
