The American Industrial Union (AIU) was a short-lived American labor organization launched in April 1895 in Chicago by George W. Howard, formerly of the American Railway Union. The organization was an attempt to construct an industrial trade union encompassing workers from a multitude of crafts into a single labor organization. Several locals of the AIU were established in Chicago, with a total membership of approximately 500. Efforts to join forces with the ARU proved unsuccessful and the union died a quiet death late in 1895 or early in 1896.
