Conclusions of a collective agreement between Tekna and the employer’s organisation NHO.
Tekna have national negotiations with NHO - Confederation of Norwegian Enterprise. Because of problems with concluding some of the company negotiations the negotiations on the national level was postponed from September to December. An agreement on national level between Tekna and NHO was made on the 10th of December 2006.
According to the EUCOB@N-report I would like to inform you:
The agreement is valid from 1st of July 2006 until 30th of June 2008. The negotiations started in October and were concluded in December 2006.
The bargaining level is national – only.
The agreement affects white-collars only, about 20,000.
The demands were
Tekna made demands on training, working time, pension and others in 2006 and in 2004.
The demand on working time was not a demand of decreasing working hours, but of having payment for all the working hours.
The demand of training was that on company level there should be a right for every worker to have training and to have his or hers competence documented.
The demand on pension was that the employers should not decrease to rights without agreement with the shop stewards.
Another issue was how the disagreements about wages on company level should be concluded.
The results were
Training and competence shall be discussed on company level before it is concluded.
On company level the law of working hours and wages shall be respected.
