EETU

EETU (Eläkeläisliittojen etujärjestö EETU ry) is a Finnish cooperative advocacy organization that works to improve the economic and social benefits and rights of pensioners and older people. It is a joint umbrella body formed by six major Finnish pensioner associations: Eläkeliitto ry, Eläkeläiset ry, Eläkkeensaajien Keskusliitto EKL ry, Kansallinen senioriliitto ry, Kristillinen Eläkeliitto ry, and Svenska pensionärsförbundet rf. Through this cooperation, EETU participates effectively in societal debate and promotes the cause of pensioners. EETU's activities include issuing statements, publishing position papers, and maintaining contact with key decision-makers and influencers such as Kela, the Parliament, ministries, the Finnish Centre for Pensions, the Association of Finnish Local and Regional Authorities, and the Finnish Pension Alliance TELA. It has representation in the most significant bodies affecting pensioners' affairs. In addition, EETU organizes seminars and carries out projects supporting the societal participation of older people. The member organizations of EETU have around 300,000 pensioners. EETU's board consists of the chairs and executive directors of its member organizations, with the chairmanship rotating annually from one member organization to another. The organization's rules are available on its website. EETU also commissions surveys, such as the "Huomisen kynnyksellä" survey conducted by Kantar TNS Oy, which explored the views of Finns aged 55–84. EETU operates as a non-profit advocacy cooperative rather than a commercial enterprise, but it functions as a brand and organizational entity in the Finnish civil society landscape. Its website provides statements and opinions from 2008 onwards, articles, projects, and contact information.
