Togstreiken dealer about the solution on Monday evening – Aftenposten

To Aftenposten says Ringdal right before the negotiations:

there is an own regulations on education and skills for lokførere we are not keen to have this with in a collective agreement.

On behalf of Spectrum, as a dealer on behalf of the NSB, says managing director Anne-Kari Bratten:

” We are ready to negotiate on the hour to get the trains to go again!

– We are also ready to negotiate out of the evening and whether it should be the basis for it. Nothing will delight us more than if we had solved this, ” says Brattens colleague Gunnar Larsen.

Three lines put out of the game – a fourth hit hard

This is the backdrop when lokførerne in the course of Monday afternoon writing finished his proposal for a solution to the strike, and together with the LO State sends it to the NSB, Range and Riksmekleren:

• Østfoldbanen is closed for lokaltogpendlere. Thousands of people have in three weeks in a row, had to rearrange everyday life.
• Vestfoldbanen standing in front of four weeks of closure due to building works. Here we go bus service for trains on parts of the stretch from 29. October.
• Six of the eight trains daily on the Sørlandsbanen will be affected if the strike escalate as notified on Tuesday morning.
• the Railway and s-bahn around the city of Bergen is hit by a variety of settings.
• More trains from Asker and Lillestrøm set, also daily as a result of the strike, on Monday, the departures set that was supposed to go to despite the strike.

Here answer lokførerlederen about the proposed solution

the Proposal our should absolutely get NSB to discuss the issues we point out. We are going to meet them about tariffoppgjør and expertise, at the same time as we are still clear on the competence requirements, ” says forbundsleder Rolf Ringdal of the Norwegian Lokomotivmannsforbund to Aftenposten.

– We provide a comprehensive proposal to the solution, ” says Ringdal.

It has been said that the strike is about requirements relating to safety, on the education and expertise of the lokførere, which associated believes that the state of pr. today can’t guarantee.

But put on the tip rotates the strike, according to the NSB, that lokførerne want to have an ownership of education and expertise.

They want to have coverage in a collective agreement, that they can strike if they think lokførerutdanning and requirements for competence takes an unfortunate turn.

– Ringdal, are you now ready to four on this claim?

This we believe is a construction from the NSB commander Geir Isaksen his side. Every time it negotiated a collective agreement we can choose to take this into the negotiations. If it is not tariffestes now we can claim it for two years again. What we are trying to get to is to turn the ring about a national standard for competencies for lokførere.

Ringdal: the Railway is not “normal”

What other groups do you know of today that have tariffestet streikerett by changes in the education and competency requirements?

I have not finkjemmet all of the country’s collective agreements. It is possible that one has it within the uk. You should be aware that the railway is not “normal”. This education and competency requirements have never been in any regulation. NSB has been the goat and havresekken, and until 2005 we have been a part of the NSB family. We have solved such things within, when needed.

– What about the rumor that the Ministry is working with regulations to ensure requirements for competence and education of lokførere?

– It is absolutely excellent if they do it, ” says Ringdal.

NSB-boss about education in Norway and other countries

This says NSB-commander Geir Isaksen about the situation in other countries, around lokførerutdanning:

It varies. It is a joint directive from the Eu side, but it is interpreted differently. In Denmark, there are very clear rules, in Sweden, it is up to the operators how they put the level in education. It is jernbanetilsynene that goes through and approves the utdanningsløsningene as the operators add up to.

Isaksen has said that he will not comment on the proposal from the lokførerne before he has read it.

Who will control the trains before they run?

–Geir Isaksen, you have both the bus drivers and lokførere. Lokførerne requires that there is a lokfører to check the train before it goes?

– This is a claim that is outside the tutorial, and as I experience that has nothing to do with the strike to do. It’s all about that it should be lokførere that performs the so-called withdrawal of the trains, which involves an inspection, but the regulations are probably different on the train and the bus as to who is to perform the inspection.

For all vehicles in road traffic, it is the driver who is responsible, it does not help if the car is EU-approved if the brakes are broken. It is your responsibility to get to the repair shop again, ” says Isaksen.

As togoperatør it can be a little bit different how people want the inspections. It is togselskapene who have responsibility for security.

– How does this happen today, in the Uk?

today it is by that lokførerne do this inspection, ” says Isaksen.

Thousands of commuters from Follo and Østfold has had to rearrange everyday life completely during the strike.

Some are also deducted in the salary by the employer.

So far has been that people have fainted on the chock-full buses.
