We pave the way for you to move towards the best working life in the world.
Without us advocates, no collective agreements would be made. Without collective agreements, there would be no paid family leave, and it wouldn’t be possible to take care of a sick child without losing salary or having flexible working hours. We have your back in making a change. We are creating the best working life in the world for BBAs – every day, one contract and law at a time!
General increases and better terms of employment than in the law.
We influence the development of BBA training and make proposals for legislation.
The personnel representatives safeguard you in the workplace.
We don’t just hope for a better working life – we create it. Goals must be negotiated, and we are particularly good at that. Our main goals include annual holiday, the right to a tax deduction for a degree, part-time study leave, a training voucher, Maisteri AMK (Master UAS), and other things that affect your working life, as well.
The best working life in the world is created by prioritising the well-being, equality and competence of the employees and by developing legislation accordingly. Work must be meaningful, varied and motivating.
You shouldn’t sell your skills too cheaply. The Finnish tradition of collective bargaining has created an equal working life in our country, but without continuous negotiations and advocacy, employees can’t participate in the growth of their own productivity. In working life, we are in the same boat – we know the realities, but get scrappy when we need to.
Competent work and responsibility should be fairly compensated. The salaries of BBAs increase mainly due to general increases.
Holiday bonuses, sick pay, paid family leave, caring for a sick child with pay. The monetary benefit of a collective agreement during your career can be up to EUR 150,000.
Does the law take changes in working life into account sufficiently? The Annual Holidays Act, for example, has become outdated. We are taking legislative initiatives to ensure that the law takes into account the challenges of modern working life.
We negotiate salary increases and terms of employment on behalf of our members. The BBA degree must meet the changing needs of working life and offer a path to Master’s and doctoral studies. By influencing legislation, we do long-term work for a better working life.
We are happy to help you.
