What is El og IT Forbundet?

The EL og IT Forbundet is Norway’s largest trade union for professionals in IT, energy, and electrical installation.

Built on values such as solidarity, fairness, security, and competence, we empower our members to thrive at work.

Solidarity means standing together to improve wages and working conditions.
Fairness ensures equal opportunities in both pay and career paths.

Security comes through collective agreements, legal support, and insurance.

And we help you grow by providing support for further education
and skills development.
