YS chastises the Conservative Get together for premature political interference within the strike

– I’m extraordinarily stunned that the Conservatives and Liberals have signed up for an ongoing industrial motion, Skjæggerud tells NTB.

– That the Proper may consider doing that may be a bit scary, fairly merely. As a result of it contributes to the politicization of tariff formation in Norway, and it’s one thing the politicians have stayed distant from – and with good cause, he says.

The response comes following Høyre’s Anna Molberg stepped down on Monday NRK and criticized the Labor Get together and the federal government for doing LO’s enterprise on this 12 months’s state settlement.

She calls the settlement to return to at least one collective settlement within the state a fee from LO which forces the unions in Unio and Akademikerne to just accept an settlement administered by LO.

– Equal therapy

Høyre believes that the federal government has taken care of the politicization fully itself.

– The Liberal Get together and LO already secured a majority within the Storting in 2022 in order that there can be one principal tariff settlement earlier than the negotiations had even began. It’s this favoritism that we react to, says Anna Molberg (H) within the work and social committee.

She emphasizes that the Conservative Get together desires equal therapy, in order that we unfold energy amongst all organized employees.

– If we’re to make sure actual freedom of affiliation and actual tripartite cooperation, LO can not dictate the phrases of the negotiations in the best way the federal government permits them to do.

– Brief circuit

On Tuesday, Molberg repeated the declare in Free Commerce Union Motion and promised {that a} new Conservative authorities would return to 2 agreements within the state.

YS chief Skjæggerud calls the settlement that was negotiated, and which LO and YS have accepted, good and a superb compromise. He factors to the truth that within the municipal sector there is just one settlement with divisions that embrace completely different teams, however no matter commerce union membership. In personal enterprise, there’s by no means greater than a collective settlement for workers who’ve the identical duties, features or obligations. The YS chief says that there aren’t any good causes for the state to have two agreements.

Skjæggerud factors out that YS has beforehand obtained help from the Conservative Get together when YS has criticized Labor-led governments for favoring LO, however that he now doesn’t perceive the get together’s political interference within the strike as something aside from an try to pit teams in opposition to one another.

– I can hardly perceive that they might need that, so I’ve to imagine that their involvement on this should be primarily based on a political short-circuit. I am unable to imagine anything, says Skjæggerud to NTB.

Two collective agreements

The background for the strike is that the Lecturers have lengthy believed that these with longer training misplaced out on being a part of a joint collective settlement within the state settlement. In 2016, underneath the Conservative-led Solberg authorities, they obtained the go-ahead to conclude a separate collective settlement with native wage negotiations as a substitute of a central settlement.

On the time, this was tolerated by LO, Unio and YS, however following Unio introduced a transition to the identical collective settlement in 2022, LO and YS entered into negotiations this 12 months with the concept that there ought to solely be one collective settlement within the state. They usually obtained success for that.

LO and YS accepted the settlement with the state on Friday. Hans Erik Skjæggerud denies to NTB that there’s some type of collusion between LO and the Labor Get together which is the premise for the settlement in favor of a joint collective settlement within the state.

– It’s solely regarding doing the suitable factor. We in YS will not be hostages to LO and Ap on this case, says Skjæggerud.

– Interference

– I’m reacting to Høyre’s plan this time. It’s premature political interference, he says of Molberg’s transfer.

The union chief with 210,000 members behind him says it appears as if the Conservative Get together is making an attempt to attain some political factors by pitting folks in opposition to one another. Then once more, he calls it “100 per cent irregular” to have two completely different collective agreements that apply to the identical group of staff.

– This might imply that two staff with the identical competence and who carry out the identical duties in the identical positions can find yourself with fairly completely different agreements. It would not work and is totally unnatural in Norwegian working life, says Skjæggerud.
