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's collective force is now at your fingertips for a year for 12.90 euros per month.
We now offer the union membership and all its services as well as the unemployment fund to new members for a year at a monthly price of 12.90 euros. The membership fee is paid by yourself, meaning it cannot be linked to employer collection. The campaign offer is valid until 31 December 2025.
Why Pro? As our member, you will receive expert support for your employment relationship, up-to-date training, solid legal services and numerous working life and leisure benefits. Join us and secure your working life!
Support at work
If you encounter any problems at work, your local shop steward or occupational safety delegate can support you. Both of them can be found at your own workplace.
Also our experts and lawyers provide advice, negotiate agreements and at the very last instance defend you in court. Our legal aid is free of charge and carries no risks for you.
Legal counselling
Our specialists and lawyers ensure that the terms of your work are fair and give advise, negotiate agreements, settle disputes and, at the last instance, defend you in court. As a member you also have access to free legal counselling by phone on private matters.
Unemployment security
Even the most talented expert or a supervisor can become unemployed. As a Pro member, you receive earnings-related unemployment benefits when the relevant conditions are met.
When looking for a new job, we will also provide you with personal coaching, videos and webinars, which help you towards success.
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
