Norway: Possible strike in Oslo municipality from 29 May 2026
CanceledLast Updated:
Negotiations between Oslo kommune and the four union coalitions (LO Kommune Oslo, Unio, Akademikerne, YS-K Oslo) broke down on 29 April 2026. Mediation at Riksmekleren is scheduled for 26-28 May, with a deadline at midnight on 28 May. If no agreement is reached, a strike could begin from Friday 29 May 2026 — the same day a possible strike is also expected in the broader KS area (Norway's other large municipal-sector settlement). Demands cover real wage growth, competence development, inconvenience allowances, life-phase policy, full-time positions and working hours. Oslo kommune has its own bargaining track separate from KS.
This alert was originally created on 12 May 2026.
