– There were some unpopular reorganizations at the workplace, and I was also dissatisfied with my salary progression. A colleague told me Finansförbundet could help, Magnus Brolin says.

Magnus feels that the union provides a sense of security. If you don’t get along with your manager for some reason, it can be hard to resolve a situation or address an issue on your own. Finansförbundet can represent you in negotiations and perhaps ensure that you are transferred to another team in the organization.

Finansförbundet also provides security by ensuring that employers respect laws and agreements. For foreign-born employees, who might not be familiar with the rules and regulations in Sweden, this is particularly useful.
– I have many Indian colleagues and the union makes sure that their right to rest after periods of overtime is respected.

 Magnus points out that there is also an income insurance included in Finansförbundet membership, which means that if you have to quit your job, your economy won't fall apart while you look for another job. With the support of Finansförbundet, your chances of getting a severance package increase as well.
