Energistreik may delay remedy by a power failure – Oppland Arbeiderblad

Strike among 230 workers in the 16 energibedrifter can do that and streets, and the house later than normal, and get the power back.

In the worst case, for example, schools and shops had to stay closed if the power goes out, because the fitters in several locations in the country are on strike. But energibedriftene will do their utmost to limit the impact for customers, ” says managing director Bjørg Ravlo Rydsaa in KS Business to the NTB.

KS Company organizes the 16 energy companies that are now affected by the strike after mediation with EL & IT association, the trade union, to Participate, and Here collapsed on Friday.

Our member companies have informed local authorities about the situation and follow it closely with the thought of the events that can threaten life and health, ” says Ravlo Rydsaa.

Should such a situation occur, the state will be able to intervene with the forced lønnsnemnd and end the strike.

Two agreements

the Controversy is about avspaseringsordningen in the treaty, the so-called energiavtale I.

” We are now in the conflict to keep the rest days we have today, and that of our colleagues in the energy companies in the NHO for the longest time has been tariffestet. It is totally unreasonable that the employer will deprive us of the necessary rest, ” says Bjørn Fornes, forhandlingsleder for EL and IT Connected.

KS Company will instead follow the working environment act’s provisions on time off by duty outside normal working hours, it was agreed in the arbitration of the so-called energiavtale II.

Further, about 70 workers would have gone out on strike if there had not been consensus on this agreement, which includes organisations NITO, Tekna, Norway’s Juristforbund, Akademikerforbundet and det norske maskinistforbund.

time off

the Background for the controversy is the government’s changes in the working environment act, where the statutory avspaseringsfaktoren is changed so that the beredskapsvaktene have to work seven hours to get one hour of time off, compared to five so it has been up to in the year. It constitutes approximately ten fewer rest days in a year for a worker on beredskapsvakt.

the Guards are on seven days, and usually every fifth week. They are tougher and tougher with more extreme weather, greater vaktområder and zero in the response time. That they in the parliament palace do not understand this is one thing, but we had thought that the KS Business should understand hvilebehovet better, ” says Fornes.

If there is any solution to the conflict, the strike accelerated the next week, warns employees.
