If Frode Alfheim does not sit on the LO nomination committee, he can stand for election as a new LO leader. Recently, it became known that advance favorite J\u00f8rn Eggum withdrew from standing to the leadership election. On Friday, it became clear that the union strength proposes Frode Alfheim as new LO leader. They write that in a press release. – With Alfheim will get a leader who is skilled at gathering the team, who has solid negotiating characteristics and who has great political capacity, they write in the press release. Mette Nord has received strengthened LO leader proposals, and thus Frode Alfheim goes out of the nomination committee, writes NTB. 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’ 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. New LO leader will be selected next week Los Congress will be held next week in Oslo. There, a new leader will be elected. Until this week, Eggum was a big favorite to become a new LO leader. But that is not the case. Eggum has said that he should inform the board of the Fellesforbundet about his relationship with a union representative when a final agreement was negotiated for her, and that he should have reported incompetent during the process. – LO’s leadership for the next four years will be without me, Eggum wrote on Facebook earlier this week. – As you know, I have acted unwise. I do not want my mistakes to overshadow the important work to be done by the LO congress next week, he writes. Visiting the North Sea: This is a picture of Frode Alfheim taken during a visit to an oil platform in 2024. Then he answered the following: – I see that someone has been out and mentioned me in the media, and thinks it is nice that someone thinks of me as a dugand’s man, but I sit in the nomination committee, so there are absolutely no comments about me or anyone else. When news asked him to describe himself, Alfheim said he is “a fairly ordinary Norwegian man”. – I am a fairly common Norwegian man in the generation I am. Has been part of the development of the Norwegian welfare state and has a pretty good picture of how we have developed that welfare state, Alfheim said. Can he become a new LO leader? Everything is clear that Alfheim can stand for election. Photo: Simon Elias Bogen \/ news Published 02.05.2025, at. 19.25 Updated 02.05.2025, at. 20.15
