Last updated

The Norwegian Union of Building Industry Workers (Norwegian : Norsk Bygningsindustriarbeiderforbund, NBIAF) was a trade union in Norway, organized under the national Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions.

It was founded in 1923 as the Norwegian Union of Building Workers (Norwegian : Norsk Bygningsarbeiderforbund). It was a merger between the Norwegian Union of Painters, the Wood Workers' Union of Norway, and relevant sections of the Norwegian Union of General Workers. When it was merged with Norwegian Union of Planing Workers (established 1911) in 1949, it changed its name to the Norwegian Union of Building Industry Workers. In 1961 it absorbed Norwegian Union of Stone Industry Workers (established 1896) and in 1976 it absorbed Norwegian Union of Bricklayers. [1]

Chairmen include Elias Volan (1923–1927), [2] Jens Tangen (1935–1940). [3] Ingvald B. Aase served as secretary in 1930 and became chairman in 1933. [4]

In 1988 it was merged with the Garment Workers' Union, the Norwegian Union of Iron and Metalworkers, the Norwegian Union of Paper Industry Workers and the Norwegian Union of Forestry and Land Workers to form the United Federation of Trade Unions. [5] It had about 63,000 members before the merger. [1]

Arbeideren was a Norwegian newspaper, published in Hamar, Hedmark county. It was started in 1909 as the press organ of the Labour Party in Hedemarken and its adjoining regions, and was called Demokraten until 1923. It was issued three days a week between 1909 and 1913, six days a week in 1914, three days a week again between 1914 and 1918 before again increasing to six days a week. It was renamed to Arbeideren in 1923, and in the same year it was taken over by the Norwegian Communist Party. The Communist Party incorporated the newspaper Gudbrandsdalens Arbeiderblad into Arbeideren in 1924, and until 1929 the newspaper was published under the name Arbeideren og Gudbrandsdalens Arbeiderblad. After Arbeideren had gone defunct, the name was used by the Communist Party for other newspapers elsewhere.
