the union was founded in response to an anti-communist purge in the farm workers union of sweden following its march 1921 congress in norrköping. around the country, district conferences of the farm workers union of sweden were held in which communists were removed from leadership positions in the union. the communists issued a call for the foundation of a new nationwide agricultural labourers' union. the invitation to the founding congress of the forest and farm workers union of sweden was sent to all sections of the farm workers union of sweden. the appeal cited the rejection of the declarations of the norrköping congress by many of its attending delegates (including the leadership of the forest and farm workers union of central sweden). however, the forest and farm workers union of central sweden had split shortly after the norrköping congress. the majority of the organization (the sections in västmanland) had rejoined the farm workers union of sweden. the rump forest and farm workers union of central sweden (consisting of the dalarna district organization and a few other section) would serve as the basis of the new nationwide union.
