Lärarnas Riksförbund (The National Union of Teachers in Sweden)

Lärarnas Riksförbund (The National Union of Teachers in Sweden) is the only trade union in Sweden exclusively for qualified teachers, study advisors and vocational guidance offi­cers. With our 85,000 members, we are one of the largest unions within the Swedish Confe­deration of Professional Associations (Sveriges Akademikers Centralorganisation, Saco). Lärarnas Riksförbund is a dedicated professional association of teachers, study advisors and vocational guidance officers. We do not accept anyone un­qualified nor school heads, which gives us a unique ability to represent what is important to professional teachers and focus on their interests. The majority of our members work in compulsory schooling (years 1-9), upper secondary schools, adult education and uni­versities and colleges.
