Catering and cleaning sector
Trade Union JHL is the union for you if you work within, say, the catering and cleaning services of a day care centre, school or hospital, or in some other institutional or professional kitchen. Crucial JHL-affiliated cleaning service occupations also include for instance laundry employees, without whom not a single hospital or health centre would operate. There are numerous occupational titles in both the catering and cleaning sector, and all of you are welcome to further develop your work.
Get to know people from your sector
The catering and cleaning sector’s star professionals have their own online discussion and meeting forum. The occupational sector forum platform makes it easy and convenient to be in touch with others who work in the same sector.
You can participate when you have interest and when it suits you. The activities are relaxed, informal and flexible.
If you want to, say, discuss the joys or challenges of your work, get peer support, need advice on how something at work can be taken care of or want to develop your occupational sector further with others, head to the forum of your sector. You can also simply follow the conversation on the page.
