The Fellesforbundet is LO&#8217;s largest union for the private sector. There, the fight is still going on to get the next LO leader. Several key union representatives are working to get the deputy leader Kine Asper Vistnes to stand for elections as LO leader. Why is LO important? What is LO? LO is an abbreviation for the national organization. It is an employee organization. This means that there is a place that people who work can organize together to stand stronger to employers. Where many members have LO? LO themselves state that they have over a million members. The members are divided into 23 unions, depending on what they are working on. The clearest union is by far the union. It has members who work with health and many tasks within the municipalities. What does LO do? The most important thing is that they negotiate wages on behalf of those who work. Either the entire LO or the various unions individually.LO also fights for workers&#8217; rights in a number of areas. Among the most well -known areas are sick pay, working hours and the right to permanent work. Is it only LO that represents the workers? No. There are several others. The largest are Unio, YS and the Academics. They have around 850,000 members combined. Since LO is the largest, it is often those who are most heard. It is also LO who negotiates what is called the front subjects. The result there is most often what others also get in wage increases. Is important in politics? LO has over 100 years stood close to the Labor Party (Ap). The leader of LO always sits on Aps powerful central board. The leader also leads to chair the nomination committee when the AP is to choose new leaders. LO also gives many millions of NOK to Ap, especially in elections. This year, the LO management has proposed to provide NOK 20 million in support to Aps election campaign. &#8211; Ballast that is important to bring Vistnes with her has previously said that she is not relevant to the top job in LO. Since Vistnes will not, the favorite is called LO leader Frode Alfheim. He comes from the fourth largest union, associated strength. For the Fellesforbundet, there is a great defeat for strength to get the next LO leader. Vistnes&#8217; supporters point out that Alfheim lacks significant experience as a union representative. The problem is that he has not been enough club leader on &#8220;G\u00f8lvet&#8221;, according to several critics news has talked to. &#8211; Alfheim has not been elected at all at all at a low level. It is a ballast that is important to bring with you for a LO leader, says Jorge Dahl in the Fellesforbundet Department of Union.

Photo: Lise \u00c5serud \/ NTB &#8211; did not graduate the ranks Frode Alfheim has been the federal leader since 2017 and also has political experience from the Labor Party. He does not want to comment on criticism that he lacks significant experience. Four unions in LO have flagged that they support him as a new LO leader. But several in the Fellesforbundet are thus critical, such as Arild H\u00e5vik, a member of the Federal Board. Calls for experience: Arild H\u00e5vik in the Fellesforbundet Stavanger wants a person with club experience. Photo: Mats R\u00f8nning \/ news &#8211; I am personally a bit skeptical of his background. He has not graduated and been a union representative at a lower level. He simply lacks club experience, says H\u00e5vik. &#8211; Alfheim receives support from four unions. How do you look at his qualifications otherwise? &#8211; His background is very oil -related. I do not know how much contact he has with the industry otherwise, which I am concerned about, says H\u00e5vik. Boye Ullmann with a long time from the Fellesforbundet and Red writes on his Facebook page that it will be a disaster for LO if Alfheim becomes new leader for the organization. &#8220;He has never been a local shop steward. Only retrieved from the party apparatus in Ap. This is not good. Obstiously man who puts the AP and loyalty over the trade union movement&#8217;s struggle for matters, \u201dUllmann writes. &#8211; Battle under the belt site &#8211; it is a strange claim that Frode lacks experience, says Harald Hereid, chief union representative in strength in Odfjell. He has been working with Alfheim since 2008. Frode played a central role in the negotiating committee for many years, even before he became a leader in the union, says Hereid. Oil background: Frode Alfheim visiting the Ekofisk field in the North Sea in 2019. Alfheim has been shown as a skilled negotiating leader on a number of occasions. &#8211; Alfheim has shown time after time that he is a unifying and skilled leader. He is known as a bridge builder who has the qualities needed to lead LO, says Haugen. Difficult leadership cabal in the Fellesforbundet Several of the critics of Alfheim are working to get the joint association Vistnes to change their mind. -I hope Kine takes a walk in the thinking box and says yes to posing as LO leader, says Terje Lund, head of the Fellesforbundet Nord-Rogaland. Kine Vistnes has not answered news&#8217;s \u200b\u200binquiry on the matter. She has broad support in the Fellesforbundet: Out of the dance: For a long time J\u00f8rn Eggum was the only candidate to become a LO leader. This week he resigned. Photo: Christopher Isachsen Sand\u00f8y \/ news-We are discussing now, but the federal board is probably behind Kine as LO leader, says Nils Helge Slethei, says Sandnes, head of the Fellesforbundet in Sandnes. -We are several who are trying to get Kine to change their minds, says P\u00e5l Aronsen in the Fellesforbundet Division 44. He is also a member of the federal board and further states:-It was J\u00f8rn who should have had the job as LO leader. Now this is important that we get a good leader in place, and we have a desire that Kine poses on behalf of the Fellesforbundet. About Eggum: &#8220;J\u00f8rn he stands off,&#8221; says Jorge Alex Dahl of the Union trade union about the noise around Eggum. Photo: Ingvild Beate Bergaplass \/ news believes it is the joint association&#8217;s turn It is not just qualifications that count when the Nomination Committee in LO will find the best candidate in the next few days. The leadership job also partly goes on a round -up between the unions. -It is important that the future leader of LO comes from the Fellesforbundet, says Christian Berg, board member of the Fellesforbundet Division 600. news Pets: In an earlier version of this case, it was stated that the Fellesforbundet is the largest LO association. The right thing is that it is the largest association in the private sector. The error was corrected at 18.38.
