The National Federation of Construction, Wood and Related Workers (, FeNEAL) is a trade union representing workers in construction, woodworking, forestry, brickmaking and stoneworking.
Although construction workers were among the founders of the Italian Union of Labour (UIL), financial difficulties meant that they were unable to form their own union until September 1951. The National Federation of Construction and Related Workers initially had only 5,040 members, but it had grown to 20,000 by 1953. From 1958, it also represented woodworkers, and adopted its current name.
By 1997, the union had 106,467 members, of whom about 70% worked in construction, 20% in wood manufacturing, and most of the remainder in ceramics and glass.
