Mediation started on Wednesday after negotiations broke down in January. The deadline for reaching an agreement was midnight. The parties were unable to reach an agreement within the deadline. The strike is currently limited to six kindergartens where a total of 42 kindergarten employees will go on strike, reports the Trade Union. Demanding a better pension It is the pension issue that is the cause of the disagreement. – The trade union demands the same pension conditions as are common in municipal and other private kindergartens. This is a strike for justice, says the trade union’s negotiation leader Anne Green Nilsen. The mediation took place between the Trade Union and Abelia/NHO Geneo/NHO Service og Handel. – It is regrettable that the Trade Union chooses to take kindergartens out of strike now. This affects innocent and vulnerable groups, and puts families in a difficult situation, says Birgit Abrahamsen, head of negotiations at Abelia. She believes that the nurseries have gone to great lengths to meet the employees.
