More than 24,000 workers in Norway are set to go on strike next week after wage negotiations broke down with employers, two major unions announced.
Talks between two umbrella organisations - the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions and the Confederation of Vocational Unions - and the Confederation of Norwegian Enterprise had been ongoing since Friday."We didn't think that which was offered by NHO and finally was in the draft by the national mediator was good enough for us to accept it," LO leader Peggy Hessen Folsvik told reporters.
The strike will affect industries such as construction, ferry operators and manufacturers, including Aker Solutions, Norsk Hydro and Carlsberg Group's Ringnes unit.The NHO employers' body, which had accepted the mediator's proposal, said it regretted the decision to go on strike.
