Your trade union has the best understanding of your industry. The union’s lawyers can support you in a wide range of challenges in working life. The scope of the legal services offered by the Professionals of Business and Technology is also unique – you can’t get a similar legal protection benefit elsewhere.
The unique legal protection benefit included in the membership includes preventive employment counselling, such as commenting on employment contracts; various kinds of advice related to the employment relationship; and coverage to compensate for the costs of any legal proceedings related to the employment relationship.
Depending on the duration of the membership, the compensation amount of the legal protection benefit increases up to EUR 30,000. This is significant, because if there are disagreements at your workplace due to outstanding salary or other disputes, for example, the legal protection of your home insurance generally doesn’t compensate for the disputes at the workplace. This means that you can insure yourself and your career with our membership.
