YTN IT service sector – Finland breathes the code
The members of YTN IT Service Sector are employees working in the IT and software industry who belong to Akava-affiliated unions such as the Union of Professional Engineers in Finland, Academic Engineers and Architects in Finland TEK, Tradenomit, the Finnish Business School Graduates, and ASIA.
Employers in the sector include software, consulting, gaming, cybersecurity, and IT services companies such as CGI, Tieto, WithSecure, Fujitsu, Rovio, Gofore, Siili, Accenture, Supercell, and Digia. There are approximately 1,800 companies operating in the sector in Finland, employing a total of around 80,000 people.
The IT service sector is covered by a nationally binding collective agreement, which is valid from 8 April 2025 to 30 November 2027.
Please note: The national collective agreement for the IT service sector is not generally binding. It is applied if the employer is a member of the Technology Industry Employers of Finland (see the list of member companies here), if the employer has entered into a connection agreement, or if application of the collective agreement has been agreed in the employment contract. There are also several company-specific collective agreements in the sector. If you are unsure which collective agreement applies to you, please contact your workplace shop steward or your own union.
