Please note, as of January 1, 2024, the membership fee for Fackförbundet ST's Phd student members will be increased by SEK 20/month. The new fee is SEK 100/month and will apply for all of our Phd student members. An increase of this membership fee has not occurred in the last 12 years.

Income insurance

As a member of Fackförbundet ST you have income insurance through a contract between ST and Folksam.

This means that in the event of involuntary unemployment you may receive compensation to supplement your compensation from the unemployment benefit fund (a-kassan) and any other compensation that may be payable as a consequence of unemployment.
