The Swedish Clothing Workers' Union (Swedish: Svenska Beklädnadsarbetareförbundet, SBaf or Beklädnads) was a trade union representing workers in the garment industry in Sweden.
In 1899, it affiliated to the Swedish Trade Union Confederation and also began admitting women.
[1][2] The Swedish Hat and Fur Workers' Union joined in 1933, and the union's membership reached a peak of 37,612 in 1956.
It then began falling, dropping to 25,475 members in 1972, of whom 83% were women.
The following year, it merged with the Swedish Shoe and Leather Workers' Union and the Swedish Textile Workers' Union, to form the Swedish Textile, Garment and Leather Workers' Union.
