Norway services sector wage talks fail
Norway Rig crew off Norway
Only after forced mediation are the Norwegian workers in the services sector, some 6,500 in this instance, permitted to go on strike. The threat of a strike has been looming large over the county’s sector for close to a month. The sector’s employers’ representative body, the Norwegian Oil and Gas Association, on Wednesday said the talks were temporarily on hold.
A group of workers covered by a so-called well-services agreement have already begun their round of mandatory mediation. They have until the end of today to reach an agreement – the workers will go on strike on Thursday, Reuters reported.
