- 655 members at Hydro Aluminum Sunndal, 444 members at Alcoa Mosjøen
- Industri Energi's main demand is to put in place the right to action in the local negotiations in each individual company
- The second part of the claim concerns general pay and working conditions
- The strike will initially lead to a gradual shut-down of 20 percent of production at Hydro
The strike will initially lead to a gradual shut-down of 20 percent of production within four weeks. The strike also entails a halt in the shipment of products to customers from Hydro Sunndal for the duration of the strike, which will lead to delays in deliveries. If the strike lasts for more than four weeks, another 10 percent of production will be shut down each week until one section of the production line remains.
The strike includes Industri Energi members who are under the Electrochemical Agreement. These members will go on strike gradually, as ramping down of production requires considerable work effort from the operators at the aluminium plant.
The Strik, organised by the Union Industri Energi has announced they "are stepping up the strike to put increased pressure on employers in Norwegian Industry" - confederation leader Frode Alfheim in Industri Energi.
A total of 2,537 members have now gone on strike. These are gradually phased out in line with the winding-down plan at the individual company.
The new ones being taken out on strike are distributed among 655 members at Hydro Aluminum Sunndal, 444 members at Alcoa Mosjøen and 16 members at Bilfinger Engineering & Maintenance Nordics.
Industri Energi's main demand is to put in place the right to action in the local negotiations in each individual company. The second part of the claim concerns general pay and working conditions.
