Possible bus strike: may cripple eastern Norway

– This will paralyze the vast majority of bus departures in the central-eastern region, and shows that we are serious about a strike, says Fellesforbundet federal secretary Dag-Einar Sivertsen in a press release.

Together with other LO and YTF unions, Fellesforbundet has sent a resignation notice to all organized drivers in Oslo and Viken. The first withdrawal is for 3,800 drivers.

– There is a greater danger of strike than in a long time, Fellesforbundet writes in the press release.

The parties meet on Friday for mandatory mediation at the Ombudsman. Mediation is due at midnight on Saturday night, and if they don’t agree, there will be a strike starting Sunday, September 20. NHO Transport negotiates on behalf of employers.

Sivertsen is clear that this is only the beginning. Escalation will come quickly if the parties do not find a solution.

– If we get to the point where we have to expand, we will quickly step forward. We have a total of more than 10,000 drivers that we can strike. In that case, it will stop all bus traffic in Norway, says Sivertsen.

– Being paralyzed

NHO Transportation claims that a total of 2308 drivers within the NHO area will be pulled if there is a strike.

– In addition, there is a large recall at Vy buss AS, which has been notified to Spekter, NHO writes in a press release.

NHO confirms that bus traffic in Oslo and Viken will be paralyzed if there is a strike.

– In case there is a conflict, the employee side can take a step forward by taking out more people on strike eventually. However, this must be notified four days prior to deployment. With today’s withdrawal, all scheduled bus drivers in Oslo and Viken will be removed in the event of a strike. Additionally, two minibus companies are affected, says NHO Transport CEO Jon H. Stordrange.
