Broken English-mediation – strike continues – Aftenposten

The National Agency Nils Dalseide gave notice of breach awhile before at 5:30. When the parties had been sitting at the negotiating table for over 16 hours.

It is not made any agreement to continue negotiations at a later date, but English in a press release that they in an e-mail Saturday morning has invited employee organization Norwegian Pilot Union to continue negotiations.

According to Norwegian affected 20,000 travelers of the strike Saturday. During the week has 35,000 passengers lost their departures every day.



Parties offerings were incompatible with each other

– The parties have announced that they stand by their offers that are incompatible with each other and that there is no basis to get an interim solution. Then we had to conclude that further mediation is not likely to lead to an amicable solution as an alternative to a conflict, says Nils Dalseide.

While the tone between the parties has been very unforgiving in public, the atmosphere and dialogue during mediation long as both positive and constructive, according to the national mediator Dalseide.

But after that NTB know the atmosphere very bad towards breakthrough after at 5am at dawn Saturday morning.

– We have insofar been closer than we were originally, but not close enough for a solution, says Dalseide said.

Pizza and soda was delivered

At 2:30 o’clock arrived Parat leader Hans Erik Skjæggerud premises border in downtown Oslo, and half an hour later it was delivered soda and pizza to tired and hungry people on both sides of the negotiating table.

But the food and drink despite, rather than to approach, it became more and more clear that the parties were too far apart.

Hans-Erik Skjæggerud they say in the talks that started on Friday said they are willing to walk away from their original primary requirements.

– We have moved much since the previous round at many different points. Even what has been the most important for us – to get a collective agreement with the parent company. There we have presented alternatives means that this lapse, and that we do require to get a necessary bond to the company, but that it should limit the company’s needs, but help to ensure our members’ jobs, says Parat leader.

He will not elaborate on what kind of bond in question.

– The problem is that the employer only takes

Halvor Vatnar, head of Norwegian Pilot Union (NPU), saying it under the voluntary negotiations Friday and Saturday night were led more real negotiations than when the parties parted a week ago.

Vatnar argues, however, that the company is riding principles and management does not care about cost just those are allowed to crush tariff cooperation between the pilots.

The pilots let according Vatnar forward a proposal for a comprehensive solution that they think overall would save the company tens of millions of dollars.

– We have given in previous calls, and we have given more in these last negotiations, including through greater flexibility and elimination of compensations. Previously we have pension and insurance in the pot. The problem is that the employer only takes without giving anything back, says pilots leader.



– 700 pilots got position warranty

Also in English is believed that stretched far, disappointment that strike continues, naturally great.

– We are very disappointed that we failed to come to an agreement. And we are extremely disappointed considering those customers who currently also being affected by the strike, which then of course continue, says communications manager Anne-Sissel Skånvik in English.

– We have put a lot on the table , we have stretched us very far. We have also given all 700 pilots in Scandinavia a position guaranteed so they should be completely confident in their jobs, she adds.

Employment guarantee was offered, which implied a guarantee against downsizing companies that would be pilots employer, was in three years, according to a press release from the Norwegian. In the same press release claimed that the pilots were offered an “attachment to the parent company.”
