YTK’s online service was renewed

We expanded the offering of services to combined members produced by the YTK Association into a separate entity at the address ytk-yhdistys.fi.

The services of the unemployment fund and all information related to earnings-related security can still be found at ytk.fi.

The purpose of this change is to offer you a clear and diverse set of services of YTK and the YTK Association.

As a member of the YTK fund you can also join the YTK Association and use the many benefits offered to combined members, such as insurance and support for job-seeking.
