YTK for public sector workers

[irnbru]

I heard that if you work for Helsinki city (e.g. as a nursery teacher) you can't join YTK as it's only for private sector workers. Does anyone know if this is true? If so what is the alternative?

State employees, whether or not they are "virkamies". (and not for those "virkamies" who are not state employees)
