Unionen is a Swedish white-collar trade union.

The union was formed on 1 January 2008, when the Swedish Union of Commercial Salaried Employees merged with the Swedish Union of Clerical and Technical Employees in Industry.[2] Like both its predecessors, it affiliated to the Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees. Unionen is the biggest trade union in Sweden and the biggest white-collar union in the world.[3] In 2014, it was joined by the Pharmacy Union, and in 2019 by the Association of Forestal, and Agricultural Employees.[4] The union had 403,623 members on formation, and grew to 566,331 members by 2019.[5]
