Last Updated:
Workers in Norway’s hotel, restaurant and catering sector went on strike nationwide on 19 April 2026 after mediation with NHO Reiseliv failed. The walkout covers hundreds of businesses and thousands of employees across major cities and has been expanded in several waves; it is ongoing. Unions say the dispute is over higher pay and employer advance payment of sick pay, while the employers’ side confirms the strike’s start and scope.
