PAM statements and opinions 

Statements are PAM's responses to requests for comments from public authorities. Through these statements, PAM influences issues that particularly affect service sector employees.

In its position statements, PAM presents its views on matters it considers important but which are not currently the subject of legislative initiatives, for example.

Are you interested in volunteering with SASK? 

As a SASK ambassador, you will become part of a network that works and influences on behalf of workers around the world in your home country. Anyone who has completed ambassador training can volunteer.

Would you like to see what kind of work SASK does around the world in practice?

Then you should apply for a study trip. At the same time, you will have the opportunity to experience everyday life in a developing country in a way that a normal tourist trip does not offer. Those who have completed ambassador training can apply for a study trip.

In recent years, SASK study trips have been to Nepal, Indonesia, Colombia... Study trips are trips to countries where SASK operates, paid for by the participants themselves. PAM001 grants its members support for study trips on the basis of applications, within the limits of its budget.

PAM001 is a supporting member of SASK, and members of the department are involved in its activities. Apply now!
