Finnish Actors Union
- Finland
The Finnish Actors Union (Finnish: Suomen Näyttelijäliitto, Swedish: Finlands Skådespelarförbundet) is a trade union representing theatrical actors in Finland. Founded in 1913, the union claims to be Finland's oldest union in the theatre sector and the union to which 96% of Finland's actors belong.[1] The union seeks to represent the interests of actors, to improve working conditions and to ensure the sector is not subordinated to market forces or prevailing political views.[2][1]
In 2013, the Finnish postal service issued a set of six stamps celebrating the union's centenary, featuring Ritva Valkama, Esko Salminen, Outi Mäenpää, Martti Lemmalo, Krista Kosonen and Aku Hirviniemi.[2] Since 2020 and the arrival of COVID-19, the union has been concerned about the reduction in working conditions in the theatre sector and the loss of work for freelancers.[3]
