LO-enighet om ny AFP-ordning
Nå ventes det forhandlinger med NHO.
The Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions (LO) aims to ensure that far more individuals receive an extra pension through a new and improved AFP arrangement, according to LO leader Kine Asper Vistnes in a press release. AFP stands for a contract-based pension and is based on a tariff agreement between employers and employees. In 2025, LO's congress decided to amend the AFP arrangement.
All unions support the proposed AFP model presented today, which is deemed the best in line with the unanimous decision made by the congress. The new model LO seeks includes several key aspects: the AFP arrangement was initially established by LO and NHO, and has since been expanded to various sectors and the public sector. Vistnes notes that while AFP benefits those who receive it, today's AFP arrangement has weaknesses that need addressing.
For an amendment to the AFP arrangement to occur, negotiations with NHO are necessary. LO is prepared to engage in discussions with NHO, ideally starting in the fall. Vistnes emphasizes that when AFP was established nearly 40 years ago, it represented excellent tripartite collaboration, involving the state in providing the best extra pension in Norway.
LO believes NHO is also interested in improving the arrangement this time, as it would offer the best extra pension for employers as well.
