Norwegian Union of Municipal and General Employees disappointed with coalition talks setback
The Norwegian Union of Municipal and General Employees (Fagforbundet) is disappointed that the Socialist Left Party decided to leave the coalition talks.
“Such a government would have safeguarded the interests of our members,” Fagforbundet leader Mette Nord stated in a press release.
A new minority government will have to turn to the SV to pass the state budget, and efforts must be made to put in place a red-green majority government during the period, Fagforbundet wrote in a press release on Wednesday.
“Now we will, in collaboration with the three parties, and a new government, work to get support for our most important demands. We want to reduce the differences in society, stop the privatization of welfare services, solve the part-time work crisis, and secure full and permanent positions for people – we also want to push through a fair green shift,” Nord said.
Fagforbundet organizes almost 400,000 employees in the public and private sectors.
