As a student member of NTL, you receive free home contents insurance from Fremtind Forsikring and free legal insurance from Help. The home contents insurance covers items typically found in your home, such as a mobile phone, laptop, headphones, and tablet. Legal insurance protects you in a variety of private legal matters, such as problems with a landlord or the purchase and sale of goods and services.
If you study for more than five years, you must pay for the home contents insurance after this period.
As an NTL member, you are part of the benefit program for LO members, LOfavør. LOfavør's "Student Insurance" provides you with one of Norway's best deals on travel and accident insurance.
Through LOfavør, LO members gain access to discounts, banking benefits, and affordable insurance. This includes student prices at all Strawberry hotels (see prices here), a higher BSU interest rate at Sparebank 1, and one of the market's best mortgages for first-time buyers.
As an NTL member, you receive help with your employment relationship from all LO unions. With over 1,000,000 members and 65,000 shop stewards behind you, you are secure in your part-time job throughout your studies.
NTL believes that we are stronger together and therefore wants everyone at a workplace to be under the same trade union. While some unions only want members from one professional group, or only members with a master's degree, NTL wants to unite the entire workplace. This is how we ensure fair wage development for everyone.
NTL and LO organize many free courses and conferences for our members. Do you want to join a trip abroad with professional development? Discuss and adopt policy at the NTL Youth conference?
