I dag starter SAS-streik

Strikers began their action in Norway on Wednesday as members of the Employees' Confederation rejected the settlement proposal from the national negotiator, according to VG. The union has warned that the strike will involve 24 members. Passengers are advised by SAS to follow updates from the airline, which is directly contacting affected travelers.

Karine Skaret, leader of community contact at SAS, told VG that the company's focus now is to care for passengers and minimize disruption. The company expects limited impact on air traffic. The Employees' Confederation informs that the strike markers will be placed at Oslo Airport, Gardermoen, and Bergen's Flesland airport. The conflict primarily revolves around how much of the salary should be fixed and how much should come through variable additions.

The union wants a larger portion of salary increases to be fixed. The collective agreement will now extend a model with large variable additions. According to the union, the salary can fluctuate by more than 5,000 kroner per month. Employees also reacted to the agreement no longer guaranteeing two paid days off per month. Over 80% of the members took part in the initial vote on the proposal, and all of them said no. The text was written with the help of an AI tool.
