The notice of resignation covers 134 companies.
113 of these are organized in Norsk Industri, while the others are companies with which the Federation has a direct agreement.

Parat writes in a separate press release that 1,064 members may be called out on strike.
Broke before Easter
The frontline settlement started on Monday 18 March, with a deadline for negotiations on Thursday 21 March.
On Thursday, it became clear that the Federation had broken off negotiations with Norsk Industri. The YS association Parat did the same.
In connection with the breach, Fellesforbundet announced the termination of employment for 32,108 members.
This was the first warning of the extent of a possible general strike.
Today’s notice of resignation says something about how many will be taken out on strike if the parties do not reach an agreement by the weekend.
– We have had constructive rounds with the other party, but the negotiations are not progressing quickly enough. Now we need to drill deeper into the requirements and make more progress. Therefore, we are now taking the settlement forward to mediation, said Fellesforbundet leader Jørn Eggum when the negotiations broke off.
Acting CEO Knut Sunde of Norsk Industri said for his part that there had been constructive but tough negotiations.
– There are dozens of demands from the Federation, and they are not particularly easy to deal with. I think we have professionally tried to get as far as we could in that phase, and now the Ombudsman has to come in and guide us a bit, said Sunde.
