The case in a nutshell Gro-Anita Olsen S\u00e6trum, an ambulance worker with over 15 years of experience, has been summoned to a meeting with her unit manager and a lawyer at Finnmarkssykehuset after sharing an news article together with a text on her Facebook page. She claims that several of her colleagues have received verbal warnings after expressing their opinions on Facebook, and that there is a culture of fear among the employees. Finnmarkshykehuset will not comment on the matter. Vidar Str\u00f8mme, specialist director at the Norwegian Institute for Human Rights (NIM), confirms that limited freedom of expression in working life is a known problem. The summary is made by an AI service from OpenAI. The content is quality assured by news’s \u200b\u200bjournalists before publication. – I published an news article together with a text on my Facebook page. Two days later I was summoned to a meeting with my unit manager and the lawyer at Finnmarkssykehuset. That’s what Gro-Anita Olsen S\u00e6trum says. She has worked in the ambulance service for over 15 years. In addition, she has been a safety representative for over three years. The article S\u00e6trum refers to was about several critical conditions in the ambulance service in Finnmark. Both the trade union and the medical association submitted a letter of concern to the state administrator regarding this. A clarification meeting S\u00e6trum refers to the notice letter. – In the meeting, I will explain what I have written on my Facebook page, she says. In addition, she thinks it is strange that a lawyer is involved in the meeting. According to her, it is usually the HR department that works on such matters. This is the post that S\u00e6trum published on Facebook. Facsimile: SCREEN DUMP FROM FACEBOOK. DATE: 24\/10\/2024 – As far as I know, I have not broken any laws. Therefore, I do not understand why a lawyer is involved in the meeting, says S\u00e6trum. When S\u00e6trum was a safety representative, she reported several violations of the law at Finnmarkssykehuset. In a post where she also links to news’s \u200b\u200barticle, she makes a sharp criticism of Finnmarkssykehuset’s management: “Finnmarkssykehuset uses the proverb “Here you mean more”, but over x number of years it has been revealed that this is not necessarily the case. That they (…) don’t get tired of always having to answer for offenses committed in the service and cover up the truth, that’s a mystery to me”. Read this entire post in its own fact box. This is what S\u00e6trum wrote in his post: Finnmarkssykehuset uses the proverb “Here you mean more”, but over x number of years it has been revealed that this is not necessarily the case. That they don’t get tired of always having to answer for offenses committed in the service and cover up the truth is a mystery to me. There are not many managers who can walk out of their jobs in pre-hospital clinics with their heads held high and that must be a little sad. We spend such a large part of our lives at work and so you have actually spent a large part of that time having to mix and match to cover up for each other, offenses and other things. The truth often comes out in the end and the respect you may have had is gone. Love of honor and a desire to do the best for patients and staff are not strong enough, it is the numbers you have to present that are the most important. But what do you do if you have ultimately lost a large herd on the road? No, it doesn’t matter! – The reason I wrote what I wrote is because I have a lot of documentation on violations of the law that occur in the ambulance service at Finnmarkssykehuset. Then the leaders cover for each other. But eventually the truth comes out, she says. In the last two years, S\u00e6trum has been on long-term sick leave, and has not heard from his employer once. – The moment I make a negative statement on Facebook about them, there is no telling how many resources they manage to find, she says. news has been in contact with Trond Carlson, clinic manager at pre-hospital services. He does not wish to comment on the matter. – Unfortunately, we cannot comment on personnel matters in the media, he says. Trond Carlson, clinic manager at pre-hospital services.

Several of her colleagues are said to have received a verbal warning, after commenting or sharing their opinions on Facebook. – That the employer censors us in this way is quite disturbing, she says. In addition, S\u00e6trum says that freedom of expression is quite strong in the country. But several employees at Finnmarkssykehuset feel censored. – It is a well-known problem that there is a culture of fear among the employees, she says. Sources have told news that they fear losing their jobs if they speak out in critical terms about Finnmarkssykehuset. In addition, Altaposten also experiences that employees are silent. A known problem That employees in public enterprises feel that their freedom of expression is limited is a known problem, according to Vidar Str\u00f8mme. He is subject director at the Norwegian Institution for Human Rights (NIM). And is an expert on freedom of expression. According to Vidar Str\u00f8mme, freedom of expression in Norway is very broad. But in practice, public servants feel that freedom of expression is limited. Photo: Charlotte F\u00f8rde Skoms\u00f8y \/ NIM – According to the Freedom of Expression Commission, lack of freedom of expression in working life is probably our biggest problem. Str\u00f8mme refers to a survey carried out by the Trade Union’s center for research, investigation and documentation (Fafo). This survey shows that more than 40 percent of public employees feel that they cannot express themselves freely. According to the Civil Ombudsman, being called to a meeting after having made a statement can be an intrusion into an employee’s freedom of expression. – The social problem is that employees speak up too little, and that working life is not well enough trained to accept criticism with goodwill, says Str\u00f8mme.
