We at TEK are committed to advocating for our members' interests in the workplace. For us to represent you in the best possible way, for example when negotiating work conditions and collective agreements, it is important for us to know where our members are employed. That's why we encourage our members to update and maintain their employment details up-to-date in OmaTEK member portal.
We are constantly negotiating sector-specific and company-specific collective agreements, and we support employee representatives in making local agreements. As work conditions are increasingly negotiated on a workplace-specific basis, the workplace information is even more essential for us.
During negotiations, it is important for us to be able to inform you about the situation in your field or even at your own workplace. In addition, we sometimes ask our members’ views with short surveys during collective agreement negotiations, so that our negotiators know what our members think.
Update your details at OmaTEK and take part in the draw!
We will raffle an Oura Ring Gen 4 (in black or silver, value €399) amongst everyone who has updated their employment information in September. Everyone who has added or updated their workplace information during September will automatically be entered into the draw.
In collective agreement negotiations, TEK collaborates with other Akava unions. Negotiations in the private sector are conducted under YTN and in the public sector under JUKO. In practice, the negotiators are experts from TEK and other unions, but the unions have joined together to form these negotiation organisations YTN and JUKO. For this reason, you may receive messages about negotiations or employment terms from YTN or JUKO.
