Supervision investigation reveals highly criticizable conditions in Akademikernes A-kasse

The Danish Agency for Labor and Recruitment (star.dk), which belongs to the Ministry of Employment, has decided on 07.02.2019 to notify Akademikernes A-kasse to the police on completion of the inspection.

The reason for the case is the abuse of members money for expensive parties, wellness stays, expensive wines, etc., revealed in a number of newspaper articles in the fall of 2018.

Furthermore there has - according to several newspapers - been harassment by management against employees.

A-kasser.dk cannot recommend to Sign Up with Akademikernes

The behavior shown by Akademikernes A-kasse, and the way to run a Insurance Fund, based on member-fees, in the way Akademikernes A-kasse has been doing, is very far from the values and attitude of members that A-kasser.dk stands for.
Therefore we cannot recommend Akademikernes A-kasse.

Alternatives to Akademikernes A-kasse

There are good alternatives to Akademikernes A-kasse. If you are high-educated we recommend MA A-kasse.
MA A-kasse covers a broad range of disciplines, and they are experienced in the area of helping and advising higher educated members.

If you are higher educated - or work - within the business area, then CA A-kasse would be the right A-kasse for you.

If you just look for a good and cheap A-kasse (open for eveyone regardless of job/education), then we will recommend FTFa.
FTFa has few complaints from its members and is at the same time the cheapest A-kasse which is "open for everybody".
