Re: working insurance..
YTK is an unemployment fund, not an union. A common misunderstanding is that one has to join a union to be a part of an unemployment fund, but that is not true.kelly1992 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 26, 2021 6:37 pmI got a new job as graphic designer in printing company

Laws apply to everyone regardless of union membership, also most employers adhere to the collective agreement of their given field (meaning e.g. holiday accumulation, salary raises,... on top of the bare minimum from the law). A union can provide you with legal assistance, but neither they can override the law if you are lawfully dismissed. They charge an annual fee for their services, and you have to consider whether it's worthwhile for you.

Joining an unemployment funds is a good idea in any case, since you have already paid for the benefits with your taxes.kelly1992 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 26, 2021 6:37 pmI got a new job as graphic designer in printing company

YTK is only an unemployment funds.
Unions provide both an unemployment funds and support in case of problems with the employer.
