While working in Finland, the question of joining or not a trade union will likely come up. According to your university education, you might have already been approached by the union according to your profession.
Here is an introduction to the topic:
What every employee should know about Finnish Trade Unions (PDF).
Top three benefits of belonging to a union, according to me:
- In the case of becoming unemployed, the wage received for unemployment is significantly higher than if you don't belong; i.e. Kela pays approximately 30€/day, whilst belonging to the union will allow you to receive ~70-80€/day (according to your previous salary.
- Different kinds of assistance: career , legal, salary , etc.
- The membership fee is tax free (still to be confirmed in practice)
