Furniture Workers' Industrial Union

The Furniture Workers' Industrial Union (FWIU) was a trade union representing workers involved in making furniture in South Africa.

It affiliated to the South African Trades Union Congress and also began recruiting Asian and "coloured" workers.

[1] From 1930, the union was affiliated to the Trade Union Council of South Africa, and it also joined the Co-ordinating Council of Furniture Trade Unions of South Africa.

During the 1940s, it became increasingly right-wing and opposed to black trade unionism, and in 1956, its Asian and "coloured" members left, to form the National Union of Furniture and Allied Workers (NUFAW).

[1] By 1974, the FWIU was significantly smaller than NUFAW, and it merged into that union.
