As a member of syndicom, you benefit twice: you strengthen the union while enjoying individual protection, attractive educational opportunities and exclusive discounts!
Who are we and what do we do?
As a trade union, syndicom is committed to good working conditions, fair wages, respect, social security and equity. Negotiating strong collective employment agreements with companies is just one example of how we achieve this. We are campaigning for a socially conscious approach to the digital revolution. We are shaping the way people work.
7 good reasons to become a syndicom member
1. Strengthening the union: your membership counts
By joining, you make the union stronger. The more people we have on board, the better our negotiating position and the better we can address your concerns. Whether it be wage negotiations, implementing fair working conditions (e.g. in the form of collective employment agreements) or preventing discrimination – when you join a trade union, you become part of a bigger collective made stronger with each member.
2. Strengthening your position: protection for you, in case you need it
Joining puts you in a stronger position should you encounter certain problems. If you have any questions or are unsure about anything, we will stand by your side in solidarity, providing assistance and advice. Your fate won’t lie in your management’s hands to the same extent (even if your managers are your customers).
3. Protection under employment law: syndicom has your back
As a syndicom member, you will enjoy full protection of your employment rights. That means free advice and legal support in all matters relating to your work, social insurance, or legal disputes with customers. The entire syndicom team will be by your side.
4. Training opportunities: attractive courses under fair conditions
Whether it’s for your career, union activities or your own personal development, our courses can give you up-to-date knowledge and guide you on your journey. Whatever your goal, our range of courses can help you get there. Members may attend one syndicom and Movendo course free per year as well as one Helias course at a discounted price.
5. Multi-legal protection insurance: save money, time and stress
If you find yourself embroiled in a stressful legal dispute, multi-legal protection will provide you with fast, reliable and competent assistance and offer you professional support and advice. Motorist’s and personal legal protection, and even special services for victims of violent crime – all for only CHF 5.80 per month for members and their families.
6. Benefits: enjoy a range of discounts
syndicom members and their families receive various discounts: on Reka checks (7 %), on supplementary insurance by KPT (20 %), at Agip (4.5 Rappen per litre), on the Hotelcard discount card (CHF 65 instead of CHF 95), at Mobiliar (20 %), and at Bank Cler (half price on Maestro and credit cards).
7. Freelance pension fund: the second pillar for our independent members
