Togstreiken is over after five weeks, and the political the dishes is started.
Marit Arnstad, the Centre party’s parliamentary leader, believes the government could have stopped togstreiken earlier.
– It is quite strange that it would take the minister and the ministry five weeks before they gave the parties the confidence for a national standard, as they all the time have had the opportunity to give.
Completely pointless
the Ministry has committed itself to initiate a work order to establish a “national standard of competences and training for engineers”, after a combined desire from both the Range and the Lo State, on the initiative of the riksmekler Nils Dalseide.
A national standard for lokførerutdanningen means according to the transport minister Ketil Solvik-Olsen, “to elaborate on what the regulations actually say, so that no one is in doubt”.
Arnstad am baffled that not the minister took the initiative for this political solution until after five weeks of strikes.
There has been confusion related to the regulation that exists. Then it is completely meaningless that it should take five weeks before the government sees that they can contribute to a solution in the case, says Arnstad.
– Has extended the strike

Also the deputy head of the transportkomiteen for Labor, Eirik Sivertsen believes Solvik-Olsen could have intervened earlier.
– Based on what comes up in the media, it seems as if samferdselsministeren could have resolved the strike at an earlier point in time, to enter into this agreement with the parties.
If that is the case, have samferdselsministeren unnecessarily prolonged this strike, and inflicted many thousands of people a difficult life, ” says Sivertsen.
socialist left arbeidspolitiske spokesperson, Kirsti Bergstø think the last few weeks will stand as a monument to a government that does not take togsikkerheten enough seriously.
– the Government promises that one should have a national regulation. Therefore, I think it has been strange that it took so long before, there came a solution, ” says socialist left arbeidspolitiske spokesperson, Kirsti Bergstø.

– It is a conflict that has yelled for a political solution from day one, because lokførerne fear the competition of competence and confidence. This is a direct result of the government’s commercialization and the postponement of tenders by the Norwegian railway, says Bergstø.
– Acted as quickly as I could
transport minister Ketil Solvik-Olsen does not believe he could have done things differently.
I think Marit Arnstad know perfectly well that when you have a conflict between the two parties in the labour market, it is not the state to go in and fix it. It is against all tradition, ” says Ketil Solvik-Olsen.
– Once the parties were agreed on what they wanted of the state and sent a request, could we act, and we did very quickly.
Solvik-Olsen believe it would broken of dealing for a minister whether he would propose a national standard, but that the parties themselves had asked it.
What will you say to the passengers who have been five weeks in the queue under the togstreiken?
I think it is regrettable, and that is precisely why I think it is good that now have come to an agreement. It means that many thousands of passengers could come to a normal situation.
– All salute to the parties and to the riksmekleren, ” he concludes.
I am very glad that the parties now have found a consensus, says transport minister Ketil Solvik-Olsen from the progress party.
