In order to approve your membership application with the trade union Kommunal, we need to receive a complete application. If you have not submitted a complete application, we will contact you to complete the application. 

Once you have become a member of Kommunal, it is up to you to decide how you want to pay your membership fee. In cases where the membership fee is made through a salary deduction, you hereby give Kommunal permission to make such a deduction.  

If you do not opt out of Kommunal’s life insurance, you will join this scheme and give Folksam the right to charge premiums for your policy via salary deduction. You will receive more information about the insurance policies in your membership documents once your membership takes effect.
