Oslo: metro and trams stop for 15 minutes on Monday 16 November 2026 (15:00–15:15) — Sporveien staff political strike in support of postal workers
In 5 daysLast Updated:
Staff of Sporveien, the operator of Oslo's metro (T-bane) and trams, will stop work for 15 minutes on Monday 16 November 2026, from 15:00 to 15:15, in a political strike called by their union branch Oslo Sporveiers Arbeiderforening (Fagforbundet) in solidarity with postal workers.
What to expect: metro and tram services in Oslo stop for a quarter of an hour at 15:00. Services run normally until then; short knock-on delays are possible while trains and trams return to their timetables afterwards. Buses are not part of the announcement. The union says it chose a short stoppage so as not to hit passengers too hard; the main rally is at Eidsvolls plass in front of the Storting.
Why: Fagforbundet has called a political strike against the government's planned cuts at Posten, which the union says would remove about 2,000 postal jobs by 1 July 2027; rallies are planned in ten cities, with more in preparation.
This alert was originally created on 11 November 2026.
