There Are Only Benefits to Becoming a Member of a Saco-S Union
Work is an important part of life. Most people spend a large proportion of their waking hours at work, and it is essential that the workplace provides good conditions, a healthy working environment, and opportunities to perform well.
To achieve this, there must be organisations that safeguard employees' interests, monitor working conditions, and work to improve working life. That is where we come in.
Saco-S is a federation of 18 affiliated Saco unions that negotiates collective agreements for academically qualified employees in the Swedish government sector. Together, Saco-S represents almost 90,000 professionals and academics.
If you are a member of a Saco-S affiliated union and employed within the government sector, you are represented through Saco-S in negotiations concerning pay, employment conditions, and other workplace matters. The "S" in Saco-S stands for state employees.
At Saco-S at SLU, we represent all members equally. Regardless of which Saco-S affiliated union you belong to, you receive the same support and representation in matters relating to your employment at SLU.
Our mission is to create the best possible conditions for academically qualified employees. We work to ensure fair terms and conditions, good career opportunities, and a healthy working environment.
The more members we represent, the stronger our voice becomes. By joining a Saco-S union, you help strengthen our ability to influence decisions that affect your working life and the future development of SLU as a workplace.
