The New York Times: Norway: Teachers and Health Workers Strike

Nearly 5,000 Norwegian teachers and health workers walked off the job, joining 3,300 others who had been on strike since Monday in a dispute over pay. What began as a narrowly focused action is likely to escalate further next week, according to Anders Folkestad, head of the Confederation of Unions for Professionals, about half of whose 270,000 members are teachers. The teachers’ strike has already affected nearly 30,000 students.
