The Transport Workers’ Unemployment Fund is due to merge with the Open Unemployment Fund, A-kassa from 1 of January 2023. The merger of the funds does not require any action from members of the Transport Workers’ Unemployment Fund, as current membership of the unemployment fund will automatically be transferred to the A-kassa from the beginning of next year. Before the turn of the year, we will inform our members about practical changes, such as customer service hours and sending benefit applications online or by mail. It is recommended to follow our bulletins.

A-kassa is a general and a multidisciplinary unemployment fund, which is open to all employees. A-kassa is one of the largest unemployment funds in Finland, and with the merger of the Transport Workers’ Unemployment Fund it will provide unemploymentbenefits for more than 220.000 members.
