Regulation on general application of wage
agreements
The Tariff Board has on 21 November 2006
adopted a regulation on general application of wage agreements at construction
sites in Norway.
Based
on a claim from the Norwegian Federation of Trade Unions (LO) the Tariff Board has
decided to make parts of the Construction Agreement generally applicable for employees
in at construction sites in Norway.
Terms of wages and employment deriving from the regulation are minimum terms
applicable for employees in the building sector, within the scope of the
regulation. The regulation enters into force on 1 January 2007.
With
dissenting votes 3-2 the Tariff Board decided not to make the agreements
regulations on working time generally applicable. This implies that the ordinary
regulations on working time in the Working Environment Act will apply.
The
regulation is available on the internet:
