YTN will pay strike allowance to the members of YTN’s member unions who participated in the strikes of the YTN Universities of Applied Sciences sector in spring 2026. The allowance is paid for the days when the member has been on strike and not on a shift pursuant to the work schedule.
General instructions on strike allowances
You can apply for strike allowance no earlier than the afternoon of the last strike day of the week. When the application period is open, we recommend applying for the allowance as soon as possible. However, you can submit your application through our system for about a week. There will also be a late application period after the strikes have ended. If you apply for strike allowance after this, please contact your own union.
The strike allowance is EUR 90 per strike day. Withholding tax is applied in accordance with applicable legislation governing the tax authorities. A tax card is not required.
You can sign in to our strike assistance system with your online banking IDs.
