Tehy's council elections were held as an electronic vote, in which Tehy members voted through Tehy's mobile application.
– We gained both experienced and new decision-makers. This provides a solid foundation for making decisions, says Tehy's Organization Director Sari Viinikainen.
The Council makes decisions regarding the advocacy of Tehy members, approves collective agreements, decides on matters such as industrial action and determines the strategic direction of the union's activities.
Tehy Council's organising meeting will be held on 4–5 June. During the meeting, a chairperson, vice-chairpersons and a board will be elected for Tehy, as well as the chairperson and vice-chairpersons for the Council.
There are two candidates for chairperson. In addition to the current chairperson, Millariikka Rytkönen, Kim Yli-Pelkola is also running (in Finnish) for the position.
More information about the election results in Finnish at the end of the press release.
