The union was founded in 1965, and affiliated to the Japanese Confederation of Labour.[1] By 1970, it had 10,062 members.[2] It transferred to the Japanese Trade Union Confederation in the late 1980s, but by 1996, its membership was down to 2,020.[3] In 2006, it merged into the Japanese Federation of Forest and Wood Workers' Union.[1]
