The trade unions negotiate the pay raises and working conditions of the Finns. The saying “Alone you can ask, but together you can demand” describes the group power of the trade union well.
The trade unions build a life friendly working life and influence the legislation on behalf of the employees. Saturday and Sunday allowance, vacations, sick leaves, parenting leaves. These are not in our legislation just by chance, but thanks to union work.
You receive help and support from the union in different stages of working life. You can phone a lawyer and ask advice from your shop steward. You are not alone when the union is on your side.
