14,300 may go on strike if the mediation between Fellesforbundet and Norwegian Industry is not successful

– This first withdrawal will contribute to an effective strike that will hit the employer side hard. Should we end up in conflict, there will be more withdrawals, says Fellesforbundet leader Jørn Eggum.

The Ombudsman has summoned the parties to compulsory mediation starting on Wednesday 3 April at 10:00. The deadline for compulsory mediation expires at midnight on Saturday 6 April.

As expected, Fellesforbundet and Norsk Industri go to forced mediation to settle this year’s wage settlement in the frontline profession. They thereby cancel the voluntary mediation.

Forced mediation with national mediator Mats Wilhelm Ruland begins on Wednesday. If the parties do not manage to agree there, there will be a general strike from 7 April. The joint union warns that 14,301 workers may be taken out on strike if the mediation does not succeed.
