The Building Maintenance Workers' Union (Swedish: Fastighetsanställdas Förbund, Faf) is a trade union in Sweden.
The union was founded on 26 April 1936 at a conference in Stockholm. It affiliated to the Swedish Trade Union Confederation in 1938. It absorbed the Stockholm Union of Cleaners in 1948, and rose to a peak membership of 44,302 in 1998. By 2019, however, its membership had fallen to 25,634.[2]
Faf represents building maintenance workers employed by private cleaners in cleaning companies, window cleaners and employees of Folkets Hus (Labour Movement Community Centres).
