The International Federation of Building and Wood Workers (IFBWW) is a global union federation of trade unions in the building, building materials, wood, forestry and allied industries, established in 1934 by a merger of the Building Workers International and Wood Workers International. The International Secretariat of Stone Masons, the International Secretariat of Painters and allied trades and the International Secretariat of Bricklayers have later joined the organisation. As of 2005, it has 287 member organisations in 124 countries, representing a combined membership of more than 10 million workers.
The IFBWW is based in Geneva, Switzerland, and has a network of regional offices. The organisation works closely with the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) and the other global union federations, and has a Special Consultative Status to the Economic and Social Committee of the United Nations.
The IFBWW holds a Congress every four years, consisting of delegates from the member organisations. The congress establish set the priorities and strategy for the organisation, and elects the Executive Committee. which meets immediately before and after the Congress and at the midpoint of the congress period. As supreme governing body during the intercongress period, it is responsible for all policies and operations of the IFBWW. The Executive Committee subsequently appoints a Management Committee, which is responsible for the administration of the IFBWW and for the implementation of its policies.
On its Congress in Buenos Aires, on 9 December 2005, the IFBWW and the World Federation of Building and Wood Workers (WFBW) created a new joint global union federation, the Building and Wood Workers' International.
