Information regarding the results after mediation on Riksavtalen

Use the right to vote! This year's collective agreement is crucial for workers in Norway. After three lean year, where price inflation has increased more than anyone had predicted, we had to put in place a salary increase that is reasonable. The assignment was clear: We were to increase purchasing power.

In this settlement on Riksavtalen, we have achieved a strong financial result that gives our members an improvement in purchasing power. We have received a solid general addition and increase in other supplements. We have passed requirements that give us a better agreement.

Together with the employers, we will carry out work to assess which actual needs and challenges companies and the skilled workers in the sector have in relation to formal competence building. It is important to give the individual worker the opportunity to develop, gain new knowledge and new skills. These have been important topics in this year's settlement.

We will hold a ballot on the 7th of May. The negotiating committee of Fellesforbundet unanimously recommends to vote yes to the proposal. I encourage you to familiarize yourself with the results and exercise the right to vote!

With best regards

Clas Delp
