The association provides advice and support in connection with salary negotiations, redundancies and other labour market issues. CF's ombudsmen are largely concerned with individual cases in connection with redundancies and transfers. Their advisory function also includes the provision of information on salary levels at various companies. The local representatives are given training by CF's central ombudsmen in negotiating techniques and tactics. Wage negotiations take place locally at company level and at a central union level.
CF also publishes a yearbook.
CF's salary statistics are a valued service to members. These are published annually and are used as basis for salary negotiations. The purpose of the service is to improve mobility on the engineers' labour market. The association also has a special service for members who run their own businesses or are company managers. The association makes use of the most modern technology for the provision of information and services in the most effective manner.
