Geologiliitto ry, the Finnish Union of Geologists, was founded sixty years ago as a trade union. The association reached a respected position among geologists, resulting in most geologists joining it. However, as a trade union Geologiliitto was small and the general development led small unions to merge their activities in 1993. At the same time, Geologiliitto redefined itself as a professional association and gave up its former union functions.
