Five hours of overtime is a solution which means there will be no more train strikes starting Wednesday morning.

Mediation was conducted between LO Stat and YS Spekter for US Spordrift.

The Norwegian Railway Association has announced that it will issue 117 members in the areas of railways, signaling and power supply in Narvik, Alnabru and Lillestrm and Asker, while the Electrical and IT Association will issue 81 members in the OneCo Network in Trndelag and Oslo.

– The solution requires results well above the front diagram for OneCo members, which actually fall under the same framework in a recent settlement, Stein Erik Syrstad at LO Stat tells VG.

Anne-Kari Bratten, CEO of Spekter, is also satisfied.

– We are happy to avoid a strike that could hit rail passengers and freight transport by rail sharply and have big negative social consequences, he told NTB.

LO Stat says the biggest complication in mediation has never been money, but disputes over calculating average hours worked for employees at Spordrift. The question has been troublesome between management and employees at the company, and is the main reason why the settlement ended with the Ombudsman.

The Norwegian Railway Association and LO Stat believe that the Work Environment Act does not allow access to the calculation of average hours worked as a general scheme. Employers think otherwise, says Syrstad.

Tonight’s solution means that the question is lifted from the collective bargaining agreement and is instead the subject of a legal dispute, with a dispute meeting set for October 1 this year.

Lise Olsen, who is LO Stat’s chief negotiator in mediation, said tonight’s solution was wise.

– -It is always difficult to agree on negotiation and mediation when the parties have different understandings of what is in an agreement. So it’s okay if this dispute is clarified legally, whether it takes place in the Labor Court or in a civil court, if there is an election, he said.

-At the same time, new points have been agreed in the agreement that provide more “driving rules” on how work plans should be agreed upon. This will make the daily lives of our waiters and shop members easier while cases are being processed in court, says Olsen.
