History
[edit]The union was founded in 2011, when the Trade Union Direct merged with the Union of Salaried Employees. Like its predecessors, the union is under the Finnish Confederation of Professionals (STTK).[1]
On formation, the union was led by Antti Rinne. He stood down in 2014, and was succeeded by Jorma Malinen.[2] In 2019, the Confederation of State Employees' Unions – Pardia merged into Pro, totaling the member count to about 120,000.[3] In 2021, the Union of Insurance Employees also merged with Pro.[4]
