Delegates at the congress of 1934, in Folkets Hus A-sal, Stockholm
Description
On 1 January 1927, Svenska skrädderiarbetareförbundet (the Swedish Tailors' Union) changed its name to Svenska Beklädnadsarbetareförbundet (the Swedish Garment Workers' Union).
Further changes to the organisation occurred in 1933, when Svenska hatt- och pälsindustriarbetareförbundet (the Swedish Hat and Fur Industry Workers' Union) merged with it. In 1971, the organisation ceased to exist, and a new union was formed in 1972 through a merger with Svenska textilarbetareförbundet (the Swedish Textile Workers' Union) and Sko- och läderarbetarnas förbund (the Shoe and Leather Workers' Union) to form Beklädnadsarbetarnas förbund (the Garment Workers' Union).
From the outset, the union published the magazine Beklädnadsarbetaren (The Garment Worker). This was discontinued in 1943 and, from 1 January 1944, the magazine Beklädnadsfolket (The Garment People) was published instead, in collaboration with Svenska textilarbetareförbundet (the Swedish Textile Workers' Union) and Sko- och läderarbetarnas förbund (the Shoe and Leather Workers' Union).
