Hotel and Restaurant Workers' Union (Norway) explained

The Hotel and Restaurant Workers' Union (Norwegian: Hotell- og Restaurantarbeiderforbundet, HRAF) was a trade union representing workers in the hospitality industry in Norway.

The union was founded in 1931, as a split from the Norwegian Union of Food, Beverage and Allied Workers.[1] It affiliated to the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions. By 1996, the union had 14,569 members, but it was in financial difficulty, and by 2005, membership had fallen to around 10,500.[2] On 1 June 2007, it merged into the United Federation of Trade Unions.[3]
