Unionen has personal insurance with Bliwa, while Transport has it with Folksam. Both unions offer good discounts with their respective insurance companies. When you, as a cabin crew member, transfer your membership to Transport, you will receive insurance offers from Folksam. However, in some cases, it might be wise to take out a continuation insurance with Bliwa or remain with Unionen for a while.
Important: If you are currently on sick leave and intend to leave Unionen to join Transport, it is very important to take out continuation insurance with Bliwa. You should also check the entry requirements for insurance with Transport/Folksam, such as which are mandatory or voluntary, and the requirements for being fully fit for work, etc.
If you have an ongoing case with Bliwa, you can also choose to stay with Unionen during the time the insurance case is ongoing, instead of taking out continuation insurance. If you choose to stay with Unionen for a while, it might be wise to delay joining Transport until you are fully fit for work. At the start of membership, you are enrolled in all insurances, but it is only in the event of a claim that the insurance company becomes aware of whether you were fully fit for work at the time of entry or not. This can lead to unfortunate consequences. Again, it is good to check the joining conditions for Transport's insurances.
Do not hesitate to contact Bliwa and Folksam if you have any uncertainties. They will help you clarify any questions regarding your specific situation.
