Norway Post: 3000 teachers on strike
The Confederation of Unions for Professionals, Norway (Unio) has rejected the latest wage offer and has called 2500 teachers and 500 nurses out on strike. The unions for state employees, on the other hand, have accepted a new wage offer of 6.2 per cent.
The arbitration which was to have ended Thursday midnight, went on until late Friday evening, 22 hours on overtime.
The strike by teachers and nurses will from Monday affect the cities of Bergen and Tromsoe and the municipalities of Baerum and Karmoey to a varying degree.
