The union was founded in 1997, when the Danish Union of Joiners and Carpenters merged with the Danish Woodworkers' Union. On formation, it had 71,572 members, around one-third of whom worked in construction, with the remainder in the wood, furniture and related industries. Like its predecessors, it affiliated to the Danish Confederation of Trade Unions.[1][2]
On 1 January 2011, the union merged into the United Federation of Danish Workers.[3]
