Naturvetarna and other trade unions work to negotiate favorable collective agreements for their members. Collective agreements give you a range of benefits, such as longer holidays, notice periods and parental allowances. We also promote issues that are important to the working lives of scientists.
The more people who are members of a trade union, the more legitimacy and strength we have in negotiations with employers. By being a member, you support our efforts to sign favorable agreements.
If you work in a workplace without a collective agreement, you should also be a member. We can advise you on what is important to consider in your employment contract, such as pensions and sick pay.
Trade unions provide security
Being a member of a trade union gives you security, from the moment you start studying and throughout your working life. If you are ever out of work, we will support you and our income insurance will secure your income. Remember that you should also be a member of Akademikernas a-kassa.
We also provide advice on terms and conditions, agreements, work environment and pay. Thetrade union will represent you in any disputes with your employer.
Naturvetarna also offers a range of different member benefits to help you develop your career and be secure, both at work and in your private life. Read more about our membership benefits here.
Have an impact in your workplace
Your trade union membership also gives you the opportunity to influence your workplace. If you have a local trade union association, you have the opportunity to influence, for example, reorganizations or work environment issues, a right that is otherwise not self-evident.
