Tomorrow, after all, she will be collapsed as new head of LOS more than one million members. But already today, the Joint Federation’s Kine Asper Vistnes went to the pulpit under the LO congress with a program statement for the election campaign. – Let there be no doubt: The most important job for LO in the next few weeks and months is to keep Sylvi Listhaug and Erna Solberg far, far from the government offices. “If the two get power in Norway again, it will put workers’ security, welfare and wallet at risk,” said Vistnes. Why is LO important? What is LO? LO is an abbreviation for the national organization. It is an employee organization. This means that there is a place that people who work can organize together to stand stronger to employers. Where many members have LO? LO themselves state that they have over a million members. The members are divided into 23 unions, depending on what they are working on. The clearest union is by far the union. It has members who work with health and many tasks within the municipalities. What does LO do? The most important thing is that they negotiate wages on behalf of those who work. Either the entire LO or the various unions individually.LO also fights for workers’ rights in a number of areas. Among the most well -known areas are sick pay, working hours and the right to permanent work. Is it only LO that represents the workers? No. There are several others. The largest are Unio, YS and the Academics. They have around 850,000 members combined. Since LO is the largest, it is often those who are most heard. It is also LO who negotiates what is called the front subjects. The result there is most often what others also get in wage increases. Is important in politics? LO has over 100 years stood close to the Labor Party (Ap). The leader of LO always sits on Aps powerful central board. The leader also leads to chair the nomination committee when the AP is to choose new leaders. LO also gives many millions of NOK to Ap, especially in elections. This year, the LO management has proposed to provide NOK 20 million in support to Aps election campaign. Want to help Red She described Jonas Gahr Støre as captain of the red -green team and warned against “Småkrangling” on the left side. – There is much more that unites us than that sets us apart. Then the measurements show that there is probably no red -green majority if we do not help red over the barrier, said Vistnes. Several delegates interpreted Vistnes’ speech as a clear call to provide funding for Red as well. And so it was: Red receives a total of NOK 1.5 million in money from LO, despite the fact that the secretariat initially did not want Red to get support. -I am deeply grateful for the LO congress’s decision and happy for good words from Kine Asper Vistnes in the debate, says Red leader Marie Sneve Martinussen to news.

The support for the Center Party was halved by the congress in relation to the secretariat’s original recommendation of 3 million in contributions. Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre (Ap) had the following comment on Vistnes’ message from the pulpit: – The main question becomes: Where is the majority? Is there a majority for Sylvi with Erna in team or is there a majority for an Ap-led government? That is the main question.

If that relationship is disputed in the congress hall, the end of her speech was left in the People’s House: – Comrades, let’s grouse the right side!
