Nye forhandlinger i togstreiken: – Vi sitter i samtaler
Etter tre uker med streik møtes partene denne helgen for å prøve finne en løsning.
On Saturday afternoon, Rolf Ringdal, head of the Norsk Lokomotivførerforbund, confirmed that the parties are currently engaged in negotiations, according to a brief SMS sent to TV 2. "Yes, we are in talks," Ringdal wrote in a short SMS to the channel. The train strike has been ongoing for over three weeks, and 72 locomotive engineers have been on strike.
On Saturday and Sunday, more than 370 train departures were canceled, according to an overview Vy published. By the weekend, Ringdal stated that the union had been working on a draft solution to present to the other side. Communications Director Tonje Sagstuen of the employer organization Spekter was only briefly heard discussing the content of the talks.
"The strike has been ongoing for over three weeks, and each day passengers are severely affected. That's why it's natural for the parties to have contact to look at solutions to end the strike," she wrote in an email to TV 2. Ringdal told Aftenposten on Thursday that he expects an agreement by the end of the week. "We assume that we will have a decision by the end of the week. It could be earlier," he said.
