Did you know that when you join Trade Union JHL you also get to enjoy the benefits of your member branch? Branches bring together JHL professionals of the same sector, fight for your terms and conditions of employment and organise a variety of activities. Welcome along!

Trade Union JHL has attracted thousands of new members in the first months of the year 2024. If you are one of them, welcome aboard! Our branches organise numerous events and trainings for their members around the year. Check the latest information in our event calendar.

Did you know that when you become a JHL member you also automatically join a JHL branch? Your branch depends on what you do for work, where your workplace is and where you live. JHL has in total over 400 branches around Finland. You can always check your branch from myJHL membership service.

All the benefits for a very inexpensive membership fee

You get a huge range of membership benefits with the inexpensive membership fee. Learn more about the benefits!

  • The membership fee for working JHL members is 1% of gross pay. This fee includes the unemployment fund membership fee.

Branches are run by JHL’s members, and everyone can certainly find something that they want to do. For example, you can participate organising events, influence in the branch board, be responsible for youth activities or attract more people to become JHL members. Every role is important, so do not hesitate to contact your branch and get involved! We train new JHL actives in our trade union’s own JHL Institute.
