Become a Tekna member
11,614 highly educated employees in the government sector have chosen Tekna as their trade union. Every day, we work to ensure good working conditions for all our 117,000 members – and to make sure that expertise pays off.
Free membership for three months
If you join Tekna between 1 February and 30 April, all new members working in the government sector receive three months of free membership.
Why should employees in the government sector join Tekna?
We are the largest association within The Federation of Norwegian Professional Associations, which is also the largest organisation in the government sector. This gives us significant influence when we work to secure fair pay and working conditions for our members.
Our policy is that salary should be negotiated locally. This provides each government employer with greater flexibility to offer competitive terms, helping to attract and retain highly educated professionals in the government sector. Government employers rely on the expertise of our members to fulfil their societal responsibilities.
Become a part of something bigger
Our members are proud of their professions – and help solve some of the most important challenges of the future. To support this work, Tekna acts to secure good pay and working conditions for our 117,000 members.
In addition, many members save more than NOK 10,000 a year through our member agreements, making Tekna membership a smart choice – both for you and the people around you.
You have a Tekna representative at your workplace who works to ensure the best possible pay and working conditions for you and the other Tekna members. Having a representative provides members with a unique opportunity for dialogue with management and helps create good, locally adapted solutions at your workplace.
Salary is important for all employees – whether it is your first job, you are changing roles, switching jobs, becoming a new manager or taking leave. As a Tekna member, both local Tekna representatives and advisers and lawyers in Tekna work to ensure that our members have the right salary and salary development.
Through a wide range of professional arenas – both in-person and digital – we offer you excellent opportunities to stay up to date, build new skills and develop a valuable professional network.
Member benefits
In addition to working to ensure that your expertise pays off, Tekna offers a wide range of member benefits – both for your professional life and your private life. And all of this comes at the lowest membership fee among the trade unions in the government sector.
