The International Labour Organisation has expressed its concern that the actions taken by the Norwegian government are not in conformity with ILO Conventions 87 (“The Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise”) and 98 (“The Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining”).



In 2006, the Government intervened in collective bargaining through the imposition of compulsory arbitration and the adoption of a legislative measure putting an end to a legal strike by banking sectors employees. Supported by UNI Finance, affiliate FSU then filed a complaint to the ILO.



UNI Finance's Oliver Roethig said: "The decision of the ILO is a resounding rejection of the arbitrary use of ad hoc legislation to undermine the right to strike and collective bargaining. UNI Finance expects that the Norwegian government will refrain on similar action in future."
