Following the mediation between the labor union, Industri Energi, and the
employers' organization, Norsk Industri, on August 13, 665 employees at Hydro
Sunndal, who are organized in Industri Energi will go on strike from Monday,
August 22.
The mediations between the parties on August 13 resulted in the first Industri
Energi members going on strike from Monday, August 15. There were no Hydro
employees among these.
The strike has now been stepped up as Industri Energi has taken out 655 of its
members at Hydro Sunndal. The strike takes effect from Monday, August 22.
The strike at Hydro Sunndal will affect production at the primary metal
plant. The impact on production is regulated by a separate agreement, which
states how production is to be reduced in a responsible manner and how both
parties contribute.
According to the shutdown agreement, 20 percent of production will be shut down
during the first four weeks. No other of Hydro's plants are affected by the
strike at Hydro Sunndal.
