A membership in the a-kassa is the basis. Without a membership in Akademikernas a-kassa, the income insurance with the trade union does not apply.

If you earn more than SEK 33,000 a month, we always recommend that you join a trade union that offers extra income insurance in addition to the unemployment insurance fund.

A-kassa + trade union = extra income insurance

We recommend all members to supplement their membership in the a-kassa with a membership in a Sacoförbund or Vårdförbundet. Our unions offer competent advice, extra income insurance and Sweden's best salary statistics. You can find all our unions here.

Here Saco lists its 10 best reasons for joining the trade union

Are you not a member of a Saco association or the Healthcare Association?

The union is always good! If you are a member of a trade union other than the ones affiliated with us, in most cases your income insurance still applies, but check for safety. Should you become unemployed, you agree in Mina sidor that your union may collect information about your benefits from us so that the payment goes smoothly. Call us if you are unsure!

This is how much you could get

All amounts before taxes and during the first 100 days of benefits. Call us for more information.
