The Central Organisation of Finnish Trade Unions, usually referred to by the acronym SAK (Finnish: "Suomen Ammattiliittojen Keskusjärjestö", Swedish: "Finlands Fackförbunds Centralorganisation, FFC") is the biggest trade union confederation in Finland. Its member organisations have a total of more than one million members, which makes up about one fifth of the country's population.
The other two Finnish trade unions confederations are the Finnish Confederation of Salaried Employees (STTK) and the Confederation of Unions for Academic Professionals in Finland (AKAVA). The most important negotiating partner of SAK is the "Elinkeinoelämän keskusliitto" (the Central Union of Finnish Business, EK), which represents the majority of Finnish employers.
