Read the reactions from strikers and others affected here. – Very happy – If we can agree on something. then we are very happy about it. That’s what Eirik Svensson, head of the Federation’s department 11 in the West Norwegian Transport Association, says. He had originally planned to go on strike from Friday morning, but is happy that it will now be called off. – Nobody wants a strike, he says. Still on strike When news contacted the Federation of Aker Solutions Stord, they are still on strike. – We have not received any notification from LO or NHO that the strike is over, so here the strike guards are still in place, says deputy chairman Finn Madsen.

In total, 225 out of 250 employees at the factory have been on strike and all production has been paralyzed. Gøran Nilsen is the strike leader and says the employees know nothing about the development of the strike other than what they have read in the media. – We have not received anything official. This came suddenly, he says. The strike leader says he is satisfied if the outcome of the mediation is that the members get increased purchasing power. – We have been concerned that those who have the least should get more and they should have the opportunity to withdraw more locally.
