Crying won’t get you far in the labour market. A union will.
Has the joy of working life gone missing? At Pro, we believe that job satisfaction grows out of humane working conditions, fair pay, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your union will handle the tough situations of working life for you — from employment advice to legal assistance. Not to mention opportunities for professional development, training and networking.
By joining the union, you strengthen our collective force — and through it, the humane working conditions and fair wage development in your field.
If not the union – who else?
Only unions defend the working conditions of Finns. Only unions build a humane working life. Pro is on your side. Because if not the union – who else?
A humane working life and wage increases do not arise by chance or automatically. They require thousands of hours of work and negotiations. The union's membership fee is an investment in your own and others' fair wages.
Pro supports you both at the beginning of your career, in the whirlwind of peak years, and as you accumulate years of experience.
Pro offers the most comprehensive member benefits
As a member of Pro, you have access to a wide range of services and benefits — both financially valuable and professionally enriching. Our continuously updated training programmes support your career development and help you feel better at work.
You are insured even in your free time, and you can enjoy a variety of holiday destinations at discounted prices. In working-life matters, you are always supported by a broad network of experts. You also receive legal assistance with issues related to leisure time or entrepreneurship.
Just a piece of paper – working life is improved one collective agreement at a time
We have many services, but only one main product: we negotiate the working conditions and salary level of Finnish experts and supervisors. It's basically just a piece of white paper. A paper that culminates what we do best: negotiation skills, reforming working life and making futures come true. A paper that affects the daily lives of hundreds of thousands of Finns.
This piece of white paper is, of course, a collective agreement, or tessi. At times reached quickly, sometimes after an all-nighter. Always together. Always for the whole group.
Pro is a union of trades – like Finland in miniature
Our strength is in the expertise we draw from our many fields – we represent Finland's largest group of experts. We improve our members' working conditions, livelihood and well-being.
We make an impact where decisions are made: internationally, in the EU and in Finland. Moreover, we strive to make working life humane, meaningful, and full of joy of work, joy of life - joy of working life.
International expert working in Finland, Pro is for you
There’s nothing more Finnish than belonging to a liitto. We are home to 120 000 members and negotiate 180 collective agreements in the Finnish labour market.
By joining us you get access to a wide array of benefits and services in English.
A good working life is a human right. This means responsible leadership, safe working conditions, a decent salary, sufficient free time and the right to collective bargaining.
