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]
