Formed in 1975 by the merger of two metal and shipyard workers' locals, this branch belongs to the Finnish Industrial Union. A plastics workers' local joined in 2017. Activities include women's, veterans' and training groups.
The branch assists with membership, unemployment benefits, collective agreements, wage guarantee and legal aid. It supports member training, including Murikka courses for shop stewards and safety representatives. Winter open-water swimming at Ykköspirtti is available to members and others.
