Samtök Atvinnulífsins

SA-Confederation of Icelandic Enterprises is a service organization for Icelandic businesses. SA projects include negotiations of collective agreements with unions on wages and working conditions, the advocation of an internationally competitive legal and regulatory environment, and the interpretation and communication of decisions by governmental authorities that directly affect the business environment. A business becomes a member of SA by joining one of SA's six associations and thus holds dual membership status. They operate on the basis of the different industrial activities involved and each of them has the initiative in company matters within its own, separate industrial sphere. SA and its member associations include about 2,000 businesses. The organization accounts for about 70% of all salaried employees on the Icelandic labor market. This wide representation puts SA in a strong position as the voice of Icelandic business. SA is a member of BUSINESSEUROPE.
