Union representatives

The union representative’s most important tasks include the following:

  • Salary negotiations
  • Negotiation of salaries and allowances for new employees
  • Member cases, e.g. in case of illness, warnings, dismissals, employment on special terms
  • Participation in and preparation for liaison committee meetings
  • Interviews with and briefing of the members whom the union representative represents

See also the Circular on Union Representatives of the State etc. (union representative agreement)
Local agreement on functional allowances for union representatives.

Agreement on Union Representatives

Union representatives have the opportunity to meet with newly hired employees during working hours. The meeting with the new employee can, for example, be planned as part of an introduction program or in connection with an introduction day for new employees. 

Furthermore, the manager and the union representative should discuss, after a new election or possible re-election, how the time spent on the union representative's usual tasks and the tasks that follow from the role of the union representative should normally be distributed, including the need for a reduction in the usual tasks.

This discussion regarding time consumption and tasks should also take place if there are changes in the extent of the union representative's work. The discussion should otherwise take place at least once a year to ensure constructive dialogue and discussion between the leader and the union representative.
