Activities at the regional level and in associations form the basis of our union. The groundwork for the representation of our members’ interests and the cohesion of our members takes place through associations and regional operations.
The aim of regional operations is to support and promote the activities of associations, shop stewards and the union and to serve the members in each area. Our regional offices in Southern Finland are located in Helsinki and Turku, in Eastern Finland in Kouvola and Kuopio, in Western Finland in Tampere and Vaasa, and in Northern Finland in Oulu and Rovaniemi.

As a rule, the association our members belong to is determined based on their workplace, collective agreement or place of residence. Our associations organise a wide range of activities – see what they do and join us! If you do not know which association you should belong to, please contact Jyty’s member services.
