Union membership drivestarts: recruit union members and get rewards!

The UJF is intensifying its membership recruitment with a recommendation campaign now underway.

Tell your colleagues, friends and acquaintances who work in all the sectors covered by the UJF about the union, and suggest that they join the union. For each member you recruit, you’ll receive a gift voucher as a reward once the newcomer has paid their membership fee.

The campaign runs until next spring. It is particularly aimed at freelancers and people working in media communications. It will be featured across all UJF social media and other channels, and recruiters can share information on the campaign on their own social media channels.

The membership campaign aims to spread the word about the benefits of union membership. The press card, legal and employment advice, or the training and special events arranged by the union are just some of the perks of UJF membership.

The union also works in the interests of its members, negotiates better terms and conditions of employment, and is a collective force for freedom of expression and democracy.

Check out our tips for recommending union membership and further details of the campaign (in finnish).
