Descriptiontext

STTK (Suomen Toimihenkilökeskusjärjestö), legally STTK ry, is a Finnish politically non-aligned and pluralistic trade union confederation founded in 1945 and headquartered in central Helsinki (Mikonkatu 8 A). It serves as the central umbrella for 12 affiliated professional unions — including Ammattiliitto Pro, Tehy, SuPer, Jyty, ERTO, Suomen Konepäällystöliitto, Suomen Laivanpäällystöliitto, METO, MVL, Kela, Kirkon alat and RIA — collectively representing approximately 400,000 trained professionals across healthcare, education, technology, construction, forestry, maritime, dairy, church and professional services. STTK's core function is collective bargaining representation, labor law and social-policy advocacy at national and EU levels, and working-life development; it operates sub-brands including the Työelämään.fi information portal for employee rights and obligations.

The confederation's technology footprint is modest and commodity-based: a WordPress website (sttk.fi) with multilingual (FI/SV/EN) support, the Työelämään.fi content portal, Microsoft 365 for email and collaboration, Creamailer for newsletters, and the Vetoboxi SaaS stakeholder register — all hosted on EU/EEA servers. Distribution runs through STTK Image Bank (Mediakuvat) for media, 6-10 newsletters per year, expert blog posts, and joint seminars with SAK and Akava such as the Eurooppa-foorumi EU forum. AI is treated as an external policy subject, not an internal capability.

STTK is a non-profit registered association (ry) funded by membership dues from its 12 affiliated unions; it does not charge individual workers and does not publicly disclose revenue. It maintains strategic memberships in the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) and the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC), received an ITUC commendation in 2018 for achieving gender parity in governance, and is led by chairperson Else-Mai Kirvesniemi (since 2025), succeeding former chairman Antti Palola.
