How to change your trade union to Naturvetarna:
- Request to withdraw from your current union.
- Then apply for membership of Naturvetarna and state the month from which you want to become a member. Remember that there must not be a gap between memberships in order to avoid the 12-month waiting period for the Income Insurance.
- We also recommend that you switch to Naturvetarnas a-kassa, Akademikernas a-kassa. This is not included in membership of Naturvetarna. Read more about how to change unemployment insurance fund here.

Not sure if you can be a member?
If you are unsure whether you can be a member of the Naturvetarna trade union, apply to us first, but set the entry date one month ahead in time, and when it is granted, apply for withdrawal. Check the withdrawal date from your previous trade union, so that the entry into Naturvetarna is in direct connection with it, to avoid gaps in membership.
