The Wood and Plastic Union (Template:Lang-de, GHK) was a German trade union representing workers in wood and plastic manufacturing.

The union was founded in 1949 and affiliated to the German Trade Union Confederation. While it represented plastic workers from the start, 90% of its membership was in wood manufacturing. By 1998, it had a membership of 145,128. In 2000, it merged into IG Metall.[1]
