The Finnish Industrial Union – the biggest industrial trade union in Finland

Without Finnish trade unions, employees would have none of the rights which are taken for granted today:

  • Eight-hour working days / 40-hour working weeks
  • Overtime pay
  • Paid annual holiday
  • Sick leave pay
  • Maternity and parental leave
  • Pension
  • Earnings-related unemployment security

The Finnish Industrial Union wants to support your working in Finland and offers this webinar to you.

It’s OK to join the union in Finland

In Finland, the majority of employees are trade union members. Also, the majority of employers are members of employer associations.

Trade unions are not authorities. Trade unions operate confidentially in compliance with the consent and best interest of their members.
