Private Social Services Collective Agreement SOSTES

In the private sector, the SOSTES agreement is implemented in social sector service units, such as private housing services for the elderly and disabled, mother-and-child homes and shelters, home services, and various social and health care organizations.

A collective agreement in the private social service sector is universally binding, which means that even an employer that is not a member of an employers’ association is obliged to comply with it. The private social services sector employs around 72,000 employees. SuPer is the largest employee organization in the industry.
