JHL serves all summer with a few exceptions – the English Membership Service has a summer break after Midsummer
We are here to help you throughout the summer if you need your trade union’s support. Note that the English Membership Service has a summer break after Midsummer, but service is still available in Finnish. JHL is also a trade union for summer workers.
JHL serves its members throughout the summer. So, if trade union matters come to your mind during the summer, you do not need to wait. Our Membership Service and Employment Advice serve in Finnish at the usual service hours. Some of our other services, including the Membership Service in English, have short summer breaks.
The telephone service of the Membership Service is available Mon–Thu from 9 am to 12 noon in Finnish at 010 7703 430. Contact the Membership Service if you have questions about things like the membership, membership fees or the membership card.
