Knights of Labor were members were skilled and unskilled workers, rallied for shorter work days, equal pay for men and women, and to end child labor. Its founding marked the beginning of union activism in the era.
AFL were members were skilled workers only, goals were strikes for shorter work days/higher wages/improved working conditions (set practical goals to achieve through collective bargaining)
Both fought for worker's rights. The Knights represented everyone, while the AFL represented skilled workers. The Knights ideas and actions were more radical than the AFL.
