The meeting ended after only half an hour. Then came the parties.

They had not found solution.

This means that the teacher strike continues tomorrow in its ninth week.

– The more we get teachers’ unions in the face, the more the ridges. How may we never come to a solution. Then it is no longer talks, said chief negotiator in KS, Per Kristian Sundnes.

– I’m afraid it has gone prestige in this case for KS-board, answered Carrie Lied, leader of the union .

– It does not bode well for the development of this conflict, said the Lied.

Stepping up the strike

When teachers’ unions came to the meeting of the Local Authorities Hus in Oslo today, they did it beforehand that for them was the big question how far employers and KS were willing to stretch.

-KS know what is needed, said the head of the leader of the Norwegian Association of Graduate Teachers Gro Elisabeth Paulsen told Aftenposten.

– We are in any case here, said Director Anne Finborud in Schools’ Association.

The meeting of the Parties to the school strike was supposed to start at. 18:00, but was delayed because the union announced that they were fifteen minutes late.

Barely 30 minutes later came the parties – and the break was a fact:

We came unfortunately not the goal. Now we need to consider further strategies. We have several plans for scaling up clear, said the Lied.

This means that more teachers at several schools will go on strike.

KS: We are faced with a no, no no

After the brief meeting in the evening, went KS frontal attack on teachers:

– We regret strongly that the country’s schoolchildren and parents in becoming more strongly affected by the strike, which now includes elementary school, said Sundnes.

– When KS repeatedly coming teachers in the face, but met with no, no and no, the responsibility for the conflict increasingly with teachers’ unions, said the chief negotiator for KS.

The press release was sent out at the same time as the parties came out of the meeting, suggesting that KS was well prepared that it would be a break in the evening.

– We’ve given and given

Teachers’ unions said on his part that it had also given much.

– We’ve given and given, and must make time to do our job, said Education Association leader.

– KS Board has clearly not taken into account the fact that teachers’ unions negotiate on behalf of our members. The mandate is clear: Enough is enough. After decades in which teachers increasingly have given – and not received – in negotiations with the employer, putting the foot down, said the Lied.

– If Norwegian politicians want skilled, motivated teachers must show this in a completely different way than what teachers have known for years now, states Lied.

The parties to the teacher strike met in the evening after the union and KS failed to agree on a deal Friday.

The rapid breakthrough in the talks means that the strike tomorrow going into its ninth week.

The great distance between them increases the risk of the strike could be prolonged.
