118 lokførere is from before of taken out in the strike, and around 300 trains are daily.
Friday afternoon says forbundsleder Rolf Ringdal of the Norwegian Lokomotivmannsforbund (NLF) to VG that the strike escalate further up.
We have decided to take out six lokførere in Kristiansand, and it will affect daily departures from the Sørlandsbanen, presumably between one and five departures, says Ringdal to VG, and adds that passengers will notice the strike on the South coast first on Wednesday.
– the Reason why we are stepping up is that the NSB has not come to us in a meeting when it applies the national standard, and they are not willing to discuss this, ” says Ringdal.
– It seems I’m velig wonder says pressetalsperson for NSB persontog, Åge-Christoffer Lundeby.
” I was on the negotiations Thursday. When we forward concrete proposals to how we, together with the Norwegian government can create a national standard. When selected Norwegian Lokomotivmannforbund not to get us in the face, ” he says.
And add:
We came to meet them, but they moved not a millimeter.
Currently it has not NSB full overview of the consequences of escalating.
We have just received the message that the Norwegian Lokomotivmannforbund takes out six of its members who are stationed in Kristiansand in the strike. Now we need to spend a little time to go into tjenestelistene to see which trains they were running, ” says Lundeby.

Forbundsleder in English Lokomotivmannsforbund (NLF), Rolf Ringdal, has previously told VG that they do not want to frame the passengers on the Østlandsbanen further.
It is the reason why they decided to take out lokførerne on the Sørlandsbanen if the strike were to escalate.
the Strike led to overcrowded buses and long traffic jams in and out of Oslo. Commuters VG spoke with in the form of Wednesday estimates that they spend over an hour extra to and from the city, both ways, every day.
A powerful escalation which leads to that the new traveller is struck by togstans, can be the thing that gets Anniken Hauglie (H) to call in the parties, ” says økonomiprofessor Steinar Holden to NRK.

This arguing about
English Lokomotivmannsforbund, which has around 1650 members, will have utdanningskrav into the collective agreement, which means that there should be a national standard of education for engineers.
Employers, including CargoNet and NSB Persontog, believes, however, that it is they who have responsibility for security on the railway and thus what lokførerne must be able to. Therefore, they will have the competence requirements regulated at the level of authority – not in lokomotivførernes collective agreement.
