a New standard

Two long meklingsmøter earlier this week ended without result, but Saturday was the momentum in the talks. On the initiative of the riksmekler Nils Dalseide directed the parties a joint request to the Ministry of transport and communications to put in place a national standard for competency and training for engineers.

When the answer from the ministry was positive, was the strike in reality. Sunday morning went to get in place the final details.

– It provides equal conditions of competition for all those who operate on the railway, ” says Isaksen.

Also, the counterparty Norwegian Lokomotivmannsforbund and LO State is satisfied with the solution. Associated wanted really to get a national standard into the collective agreement, the employers ‘ side rejected.

– Now we get in place a good regulation, and we have a secure and safe education of lokførere, says forhandlingsleder Charles Gran in the LO State.

Not possible

Rolf Ringdal in Lokomotivmannsforbundet says the result had not been possible without the strike. On the question of why the enquiry to the government did not come before, he answers as follows:

It was now riksmekleren took the initiative, and it was now the government responded positively, ” he says.

” I think we must acknowledge that there has been a maturation of both the parties and by the authorities in this question. Even though it in retrospect seems like a natural solution to get to the former, there has been no basis for it, says Isaksen.

Both believe the government’s jernbanereform, allowing for competition, is the backdrop for the strike.

– Acted quickly

transport minister Ketil Solvik-Olsen (Frp) denies that he could have intervened before.

This was a conflict between the two parties in a tariffoppgjør. There is a long tradition in Norway that the state does not interferes in the tariffoppgjør, ” he says.

First, when it came a formal request from the parties overall, could the government take action, according to samferdselsministeren.

I consider that the parties say they have tried other slots, and that it was riksmekleren that contributed to the inquiry could be sent. I have constantly said that the door mi is open, but I can not act on the basis of views that are submitted from a single party through the media, ” he says.

Critical resistance

socialist left Kirsti Bergstø believe the government is been pushed in place.

The last few weeks will stand as a monument to a government that does not take togsikkerheten enough seriously. That samferdselsministeren now seems to give up is a relief, ” she says.

the Sps parliamentary leader Marit Arnstad believes Solvik-Olsen could have resolved the conflict at a far earlier point in time.

It is quite strange that it would take the ministry and the minister five weeks before they gave the parties confidence to a national standard, as they all the time have had the opportunity to give, ” she says to NRK.
