Norwegian Union of Bookbinders and Cardboard Workers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Norwegian Union of Bookbinders and Cardboard Workers (Norwegian: Norsk Bokbinder- og Kartonasjearbeiderforbund, NBKF) was a trade union representing workers involved in bookbinding and manufacturing packaging in Norway.

The union was founded on 1 January 1898, and it affiliated to the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions in 1900.[1] By 1924, it had 1,246 members, and by 1963, this had grown to 4,556.[2][3] In 1930, it adopted its final name. In 1967, it merged with the Norwegian Lithographic and Chemographic Union and the Norwegian Union of Typographers, to form the Norwegian Graphical Union.[1]
