– We will not flag our support for J\u00f8rn Eggum at the present time, says Torbj\u00f8rn Bongo, leader of the Norwegian Officer and Specialist Association. Next week, Eggum will be elected as new leader in LO, a position he has for a long time been a big favorite to get. But now Bongo is unsure whether his union will support Eggum or not. – We also do not want to exclude support, says Bongo to news. Uncertain: Leader Torbj\u00f8rn Bongo in the Norwegian Officer and Specialist Association. Photo: news The reason for the skepticism is information that J\u00f8rn Eggum has had a relationship with the subordinate trust woman Merethe Solberg in the Fellesforbundet, and that he personally got a clear signal to get involved in the process around a final agreement with her. It was TV 2 who first reported the case. This is J\u00f8rn Eggum heads Fellesforbundet, the largest LO association in the private sector, and has done so since 2015. Was federal secretary in the Fellesforbundet in 2010 before becoming a leader. Is the only candidate when LO next week will choose a new leader. Is a central board member of the Labor Party. Has worked in full -time trade union movement since 2004, when he was elected as deputy head of the Fellesforbundet in Bergen. Represented the Labor Party in Bergen City Council in the period 2007-2011. The theme of the nomination committee news has today tried to get in touch with a number of the many unions to choose a new LO leader next week. LO is the country’s largest employee organization with over one million members. A total of 23 federations are included in the umbrella LO. Some of the unions have only a few hundred members, while the largest union, has 400,000 members. Many of the unions do not yet want to comment on the matter, but refers to the chair of the nomination committee Mette Nord.

She refers to the trade union’s deputy leader Odd Haldgeir Larsen: – The Trade Union has recorded two candidates for LO’s leadership, Henriette Jevnaker and Kristin S\u00e6ther. In addition to this, we have no comment on the work the nomination committee is now doing, Larsen tells news. Nord told VG that the Eggum case would be the subject of a meeting of the nomination committee today. There will also be new meetings in the nomination committee in today’s coming. Ask for full transparency At the same time, the joint association’s leadership has today been in crisis meetings to handle the situation. The public is now waiting for how the union, which is LO’s largest in the private sector, and Eggum itself will comment on the matter. In January, the Fellesforbundet’s federal government, which Eggum heads, decided that Solberg’s department should be put under administration, according to TV 2. She was thus deprived of all her duties in the union. Internal turmoil over several years should have been the reason why the department was put under administration. Hans Ole Rian in the LO-associated Creo, who organizes artists, asks J\u00f8rn Eggum for full openness. – We didn’t see this coming, he says to news. Openness: Hans Ole Rian in the LO-associated Creo. Photo: Emily Louisa Millan Eide Rian asks Eggum to present all the facts around the final agreement that was on the table in when it comes to Merethe Solberg’s employment relationship. It was this woman to whom Eggum had an intimate relationship. – We wonder if anyone in the Fellesforbundet knew that Eggum had had this relationship when they let him negotiate a final agreement with her, says Rian. – We hope he and the union have good answers, because we basically support his candidacy. Eggum can be a good and unifying LO leader, says Rian. -Sounds unclear at the same time, J\u00f8rn Eggum has a solid position and strong support in many environments in the large LO family. – I think that negotiation for a final package sounds unclear. Here, J\u00f8rn himself should not deal with that matter, says Nina Hanssen, leader of the Labor Movement’s Press Association in LO. Nevertheless, she provides her support as new leader for LO, which will be elected next week. – I know J\u00f8rn as an inclusive and socially outgoing person. As I see it, there is a standard agreement, which does not talk about J\u00f8rn but about the Fellesforbundet. Support: Nina Hanssen is the leader of the labor movement’s press association. Photo: Heiko Junge \/ NTB Los Congress is held only every four years, and it will take place in Oslo next week. It has been clear for a while that Peggy Hessen Feelsvik gives up as a LO leader. She took over the job when his predecessor Hans Christian Gabrielsen suddenly passed away four years ago. In reality, there has been no other candidate for the top job in LO than J\u00f8rn Eggum. Los Deputy Sissel M. Skoghaug launched himself in February as new LO leader, but withdrew his candidacy in March. Published 29.04.2025, at. 13.46 Updated 29.04.2025, at. 14.08
