Workers at Hydro Sunndal to go on another strike for the ongoing wage disparity

EDITED BY : SARNALI CHAKRABORTY 2MINS READ

Following the disparity between the labour Union, Industry Energi, and employers’ organisation, around 655 members of the Industry Energi union who also work at Hydro Sunndal will go on a strike on Monday, August 22, if employers don’t start wage talks. Norsk Hydro’s aluminium smelter in Sunndal western Norway is the largest in Europe and is also a producer of low-carbon aluminium.

In addition to the 1,422 workers that went on strike on August 15 after discussions with employers collapsed last weekend, the union said that 1,115 more workers planned to walk off the job. Production at the significant metal plant will be impacted by the Hydro Sunndal strike.

"We are putting increased pressure on employers to start the negotiation process again," said Frode Alfheim Industri Union's leader.

A second agreement governs the impact on production and details how both parties are to contribute and reasonably cut output. The closure agreement states that for the first four weeks, 20 per cent of production will be stopped. However, no other Hydro plants have been affected by the strike.

The strike began on Monday and initially focused on many electrochemical facilities, including Boliden's zinc smelter in Odda (BOL.ST) and Glencore's nickel refinery in Kristiansand (GLEN.L). The union represents the 7,600 people in the electrochemical sector in pay talks.
