There’s nothing more Finnish than belonging to a liitto – a trade union who works for you. Trade Union Pro is a collective force of working life and one of the largest trade unions in Finland.

We now offer the union membership and all its services to new members for a year at a monthly price of 12.90 euros.

For example, you will receive clear instructions on how to act if you get sick, your child gets sick or you encounter inappropriate behavior at the workplace. You will learn why onboarding is important. You will also receive information about our services and how we can support you in your career.

Participation is easy. Enter your email here, after which you will receive a login link in your email. Don't worry, even though the message is in Finnish. You can familiarize yourself with the material in almost 40 different languages. You can find the language versions when you click on your initials in the upper right corner. From there, a globe icon opens, from which you can choose the language that suits you and get to know Finnish working life and the joy of working life.
