This is what we do

Support
Something unexpected could happen to anyone. It could be illness, or a dispute, an organisational change or personal chemistry that does not work. If this happens, we provide the best assistance. We have well-trained elected representatives at workplaces, and skilful representatives and lawyers who can quickly be reached by telephone, e-mail or the website.

All members of the Swedish Association of Graduate Engineers also have access to on-call expertise. We have administrators with long-term experience in the industry and insight into the engineer’s role in the labour market. 

Finance
Protection from the unemployment benefit fund has never been sufficient for us engineers. Our income insurance guarantees 80 % of one month’s salary up to a maximum of SEK 100,000. This is an example of how we build security together.

Education
We closely monitor education, research and development. Competency issues are extremely important as the market becomes more global.

Career
Don’t just change jobs, change to the right job – a better one.
We organise work social parties and offer career coaching.

Collective agreement
Collective agreement is the foundation of our working life, with an obvious safety net and fundamental rights for employees. Collective agreements include everything – salary supplements in the event of illness or parental leave, vacation salary, overtime. We support local negotiations as the basis from which individuals can proceed.
