Arbeidsministeren tar affære mot Akademikerne-streiken med tvungen lønnsnemnd – NRK Norge nyheter fra hele landet

Unio and Akademikerne have been on strike since May 24, with over 3500 members participating in the strike.
An escalation of the strike was planned for Monday, but Labour Minister Tonje Brenna decided to intervene and stop the strike due to safety concerns.
The National Security Authority (NSM) was at risk of losing over half of its employees to the strike, impacting national security.
The main issue in the strike was the state’s demand for four unions to have a common collective agreement.
The government invoked a mandatory wage arbitration, ending the strike for Akademikerne but continuing for Unio.
Unio’s strike is expected to expand with new members joining on Monday, including meteorologists and more border control staff.
Concerns were raised about the impact of the strike on services like passport control and meat inspections.
