Employed at a university
Nearly 7 000 teachers, researchers and experts from universities and polytechnics have chosen OAJ as their trade union. This makes us one of the largest higher education sector unions in Akava.
OAJ's organisational structure
Benefits and services for members
We develop collective agreements and working conditions in higher education institutions as well as education, science and innovation policies. We are also very familiar with issues related to IP rights.
We participate in working groups managed by various ministries that prepare matters pertaining to research, development and innovation, such as the funding of higher education institutions.
YLL represents teachers, researchers and educational administration employees
Our members unionise in national districts and associations based on the level or field of education or educational institution they represent. The Union for University Teachers and Researchers in Finland (YLL) represents teachers, researchers and educational administration employees.
One of YLL’s most important objectives is to develop the employment conditions of its members together with OAJ.
