More is more! Without trade unions and their members, we wouldn’t have common rules for working life. Unions bargain, negotiate, make agreements and oversee them – they work every day in order to ensure fair and respecting treatment of the Finnish workforce. The membership fee for a member of JHL and JHL’s Unemployment Fund is just 1.38% of your taxable earned income.
