Postkom, UNI Post & Logistics Norwegian affiliate, has decided to allocate 100,000 Kroner to rebuild Utøya Labour Youth League facilities so damaged after the tragic right wing terrorist attack.



- The decision follows the Norwegian LO Secretariat's grant of 10 million Kroner to Utøya and request that unions contribute to the fund. It is important that Postkom and trade unions contribute to Utøya so that in the future it can be a vital forum for democracy building and professional political activity among youth, says Postkom President Odd Christian Øverland.



Utøya was given to the AUF as a gift from Oslo Trade Union Confederation in 1950. Utøya has been a rallying point for Labour Youth League's annual political summer camp that lasts for four days and gathers about 800 young people from across the country.



Tragically Utøya was attacked by a right-wing terrorist on the 22nd of July. 69 youngsters at the Annual Labour Youth League summer camp were killed in the attack.
