Akava Special Branches (Akavan Erityisalat ry) is an organisation that represents the interests of people who work in specialist and supervisory positions in culture, administration and business life. Our union comprises 25 independent member associations with over 26,000 members, and we are still growing.

The member associations are organised into Akava Special Branches. We recommend you join while still a student.

Akava Special Branches promotes its members’ interests on the labour market. We provide our members with an Akava identity as well as individual support services for working life, unemployment security, advice on employment relationships and salaries, the assistance of an employment relationship lawyer and comprehensive training and we safeguard Akava members’ interests in the labour market.

Akava Special Branches was founded in 1972 under the name The Central Union of Special Branches within Akava (Akavan Erityisalojen Keskusliitto AEK ry). Small highly educated professional groups can also be organised through the union into Akava – the Confederation of Unions for Professional and Managerial Staff in Finland.
