The lights went out at Stavanger Concert Hall at 9pm Monday night after a marathon performance that was far from over, despite starting at 9am in gray light.
It was a performance with the Stavanger city council as actors, not a concert, but it ended in a lament with representatives from the Progress Party and Red in the solo roles.
Frps Kristoffer Sivertsen and Christine E. Hartvigsen rejected the work environment law, and towards the end, Mimir Kristjansson from Rødt was kicked out of the municipal council premises that night, Stavanger Aftenblad reports.
The reason for expelling the Red representative was a violation of infection control rules. Mimir Kristjansson himself explains that he went to the wrong half of the field, in the opponent’s protected room, to spray and disinfect the lectern.
– Completely comical
He describes Monday’s meeting as the strangest he’s ever been to.
– It was completely comical. The political secretariat was sent home because they had worked for so long. Then it was said that the meeting could not continue because nobody sprayed the lectern and the microphone. Then I went in. It was all a sham, Kristjansson rebuilds after the eviction and the cessation of the meeting.
FRP and Rødt do not always agree on political issues. But during and after Monday’s marathon, the two groups in the match agreed that the agenda and time were not related.
According to Stavanger Aftenblad, the city council first spent eight hours on the budget without moving a penny.
Then came a long and demanding case of bringing municipal companies Construction, Housing, Sølvberget and Nature and Sports Services closer to municipal operations.
Up to 13 hours
Now there will be a new meeting with what the Stavanger city council failed to accomplish in the Christmas rush.
– The framework for the meeting was that we should finish at 20. Simple had been at work since 07:00 on Monday.
– Here we have a red leadership that has been in the fight for labor rights in the nightlife industry and then let municipal employees and employees in the Stavanger Concert Hall work for so many hours without the proper breaks, he comments Frp representative Christine E. Hartvigsen.
Regulations of the Norwegian Labor Inspection Authority state that the length of the working day can be up to 13 hours in the course of 24 hours if the work is “particularly passive”.
