Construction and Wood Union

The Construction and Wood Union (Dutch: Bouw en Houtbond, B&HB) was a trade union representing workers in the construction and woodworking industries in the Netherlands. The union was founded on 1 January 1982, when the General Dutch Union of the Building and Wood Industries merged with the Dutch Catholic Union of the Building and Wood Industries. These unions had previously been affiliated to the Dutch Confederation of Trade Unions (NVV) and Dutch Catholic Trade Union Federation (NKV), respectively, but the two federations were in the process of merging to form the Dutch Federation of Trade Unions (FNV), to which the new union affiliated.
