Why join the union?
Union membership can be compared with taking out insurance. However, it is much more than that. It means looking after yourself and your family. It means developing yourself. It is for situations when something in working life changes and you don’t know what to do.
We know about better tools and offer them to you to use in new situations.
Why on earth the Union of Professional Engineers in Finland?
The Union of Professional Engineers in Finland is a union for all game industry employees. We want to promote the general well-being and growth of the industry. We listen to the voices of employees and understand the special character of the industry. We negotiate the collective agreement on behalf of our members.
The collective agreement, (tes in finnish) is an agreement between employee and employer unions that is applied in companies in the game industry. It covers the terms of employment in the industry, such as working hours, holidays and sick pay.
We know the rules of the game in working life that bind your company and help you. Where necessary, we have the way and means to act on your behalf. Together we take care of matters relating to developers, designers, voice designers, producers and animators and have fun together.
