Which transition organisation applies to you?
Depending on which collective bargaining area you are covered by, there are three different transition organisations that you can fall under. If there is no collective agreement at your workplace, you should instead contact the public transition organisation.
If you do not know which transition organisation you fall under, talk to your manager, human resources department or trade union representative. You can also find your transition organisation by using the Trygghetsfonden TSL search engine. You need to know your employer's organisation number to use it.
TRR
Most of Unionen’s members are covered by the main agreement between the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise and
PTK
(the council for negotiation and cooperation), and should therefore contact the transition organisation TRR.
TRS
A small proportion of Unionen’s members are covered by the main agreement between Arbetsgivaralliansen (civil society employer organisation), Svensk Scenkonst (Swedish Performing Arts Association) and
PTK
, and should therefore contact the transition organisation TRS.
Trygghetsrådet Fastigo (TRF)
If you are a white-collar employee in the real estate sector, in a company belonging to the employers’ organisation Fastigo, please contact them. Note that the transition support provided by TRF is less extensive.
Omstella
If you are a white-collar employee in a non-profit or cooperative organisation belonging to the employers’ organisation Fremia, contact the transition organisation Omstella.
Public transition organisation
If there is no collective agreement at your workplace, you should contact the public transition organisation, which is coordinated by the Legal, Financial and Administrative Services Agency.
Are you applying for a transition study grant? Contact your transition organisation first!
If you intend to apply for a transition study grant, always start by contacting your transition organisation for guidance and a statement before submitting your application to CSN. There are several reasons for this:
- If you do not include a statement when you apply for a transition study grant, CSN will ask the transition organisation for a statement afterwards, which will extend the processing time of the case.
- CSN is also required by law to attach particular importance to such a statement when making its decision. This means that the statement carries a lot of weight in the decision-making.
- Through your transition organisation, you will receive guidance and assistance in finding different programmes that could strengthen your future position in the labour market. If you first apply to CSN for a transition study grant for a programme before you have received a statement from your transition organisation, the organisation, when subsequently contacted by CSN, can only give a statement on the specific programme for which you have already applied for a transition study grant.
