– Today I note that we will not reach the goal, we will not be able to agree on an extension of today’s IA agreement. I find that disappointing, because I had a great desire for us to achieve this, says Labor and Inclusion Minister Tonje Brenna (Ap). IA stands for Inclusive Working Life. The parties in working life have been in demanding negotiations all autumn about what measures are needed to reduce sickness absence, which is now the highest in 15 years. news learned earlier this evening that the parties will not agree on a new agreement. – Is it appropriate to resume the negotiations at some point? – I think it’s quite obvious that it is, but I don’t think it will be during December this year in any case, says Brenna.
