Tehy ry
Tehy is the trade union for people with a social care, healthcare or early childhood education degree. Students in these fields may also join the union.
We know our field, campaign boldly and are never far away. We effect change and promote a better working life.
We promote the financial, professional and legal interests of our members, for example by negotiating collective agreements in the social care, healthcare and early childhood education sectors. We also influence legislation, labour market policies, working life solutions and social changes.
Most of our members work in the public sector, but we also have members working in the private sector and as independent entrepreneurs or for the state.
Tehy members join us either through their professional branch or their student association. All graduates with a social care or healthcare degree can become members of the professional branch. All students studying for their first social care or healthcare degree can be members of a student association.
Should I join as a student member or full member?

You do not need to pay a membership fee.
Your membership relationship will end on the estimated graduation date reported by you.
