Hotel strike escalates
The hotel strike escalates, with 2,447 more members in 209 enterprises going on strike.
Nearly 3,500 members of Fellesforbundet (the Joint Federation) went on strike last weekend after a break in the negotiations with the NHO Travelling.
At a press conference Monday the head of Fellesforbundet, Jørn Eggum, said that the parties are not any closer to an agreement.
– The strike will be extended into six new counties, with 2,447 members, Eggum said.
The counties in question are Akershus, More og Romsdal, Nord-Trøndelag, Rogaland, Troms and Finnmark and employees at hotels in those counties will now also go on strike, the newspaper VG reports.
