As a union member in the working life, you get more.
As a member of the trade union, you’ll also secure your working life.
Trade unions exist so that the employee can focus on what is essential – work and life. Pro's comprehensive services are available to all members. Pro takes care of your rights and helps you succeed in your career.
So that no one is left alone in working life.
Collective agreements
The most important task of trade unions is to defend equal and fair conditions in working life. Unions have bargaining power, and they will ensure your rights are protected in the workplace. The more people belong in unions, the stronger the workers’ position is in the labour market.
Unions negotiate with employers on matters such as working conditions. Unions can also help influence matters such as salaries, bonuses, time off and working hours. Joining the trade union allows you to leave your concerns to the union’s experts.
Challenging situations at work
Have you ever wondered whether your employment contract is correct, or if you have to work overtime? When challenging situations suddenly come up at work, it’s nice to have help. Your workplace’s shop stewards and Pro’s expert personnel are available to help you. Our experts and lawyers can check if your terms of employment are fair and compliant with the agreements.
In the event of workplace disputes, Pro’s experts will advise and negotiate with the employer and defend you in court if necessary. Legal aid is free of charge and free of risks under certain terms. Legal aid is also available for legal questions in your private life and for entrepreneurs. Learn more about the terms at proliitto.fi.
Development at work
We never stop learning, and it’s important to maintain your professional skills. Pro’s members never have to manage their professional development alone, because the union offers its members a variety of interesting industry-related training courses and events. As a member of Pro, you can complete shop steward training, get advice on job seeking and coping with work-life balance, and more! Pro also offers all its members career coaching services.
