2 December 2022 at 05:30 Strike among the engineers averted on overtime Nito and NHO agreed at 5 o’clock this morning on a new collective agreement, five hours of overtime, reports Riksmekleren. As a result, there will be no strike among Norwegian engineers. The parties agreed after what both call a demanding mediation, led by national mediator Mats Ruland. Head of Nito’s tariff committee, Tom Helmer Christoffersen. say they are satisfied. – The concept of functionary has now been removed and we have made arrangements for real local negotiations going forward. There are two important victories for us, he says. Nito and NHO will engage an independent research institute to carry out an investigation that can provide an updated knowledge base on how current local negotiations work. They must also gather experience from the shop stewards and management in the companies about this. In addition, Nito and NHO agree that a multi-party working group should be set up to survey how businesses practice travel in the company’s service. Today, many people travel in their own free time. If the parties had not agreed, 123 engineers would have gone on strike from Friday morning. It would affect Nexans Norway in Halden, Siemens in Oslo, as well as individual members of Telenor, Aker Solutions, Aibel, Siemens Trondheim, Siemens Engroshandel and FMC Kongsberg Subsea.
