The trade union represents employees in municipalities, wellbeing services counties, the state, private businesses, NGOs and parishes. It negotiates collective agreements and provides employment advice, legal services and legal aid for workplace problems. Members are represented at work by a shop steward.
An online membership form assigns applicants to a local or regional association. Training covers professional development and workplace wellbeing, with courses also for shop stewards and association activists. Members' unemployment insurance is arranged through the Aaria unemployment fund. The website is available in Finnish, Swedish and English.
