Union membership will ensure you support and security throughout your career. As a member of an Akava affiliate union, you have access to guidance and assistance, for example, when seeking a job or making an employment contract. We offer you security in different phases of life – you don’t need to master everything yourself.

The union serves as a professional and working life community for you. It promotes the interests of its members at workplaces, on the labour market and in society at large. It also provides you with individual services and useful information.

Our service is intended for those who actively seek information about trade unions. The service enables you to search for a suitable Akava union by your field of education or degree. If you cannot find a suitable union by using the search function, don’t hesitate to contact us!
