Tehy, the Union of Health and Social Care Professionals, is the biggest trade union for trained practitioners of health in Finland.
Tehy safeguards the interests of its members in both the public and private sector in various matters connected to work and working life. According to Finnish law, Tehy has the right to negotiate for the professional groups it represents in the private, municipal and public sectors.
As such Tehy represents a wide range of health and social care professionals who are a vital and integral part of our Finnish national health services. Tehy's slogan is "strength through unity". This means it has greater bargaining power in negotiating for its members.
The pioneering professional organisations in Finnish health care joined forces to found Tehy in 1982 to work as an umbrella organisation to safeguard the interests of their members, and nowadays continue to work in close parthership with Tehy.
