  8. NHO believes in • A strong and influential private sector • A state which limits its industrial policies and legislation to what’s necessary to stimulate business development • Tripartism (state + the social partners) • Bipartism: Trade unions and employers organisations being able to cooperate on a broad basis, including taking responsibility for wage settlements at various levels

  9. The Norwegian IR is characterised by • More than 100 years of cooperation between management and labour • Strong social partner organisations, independent from any political interference but with political preferences… • Forms of cooperation defined by the social partners, not by the state • A well established tripartite cooperation

  10. Characteristics for Industrial Relations in Norway • Law regulations and employment conditions • No minimum wages • Regulated; holiday entitlements, minimum pension, sick leave, maternity leave • Government policy is to leave as much as possible to the labour market parties • The role of Trade Unions • Freedom for all to unionize or to stay outside • Free and independent trade unions • No political interference, but clearly a political preference (LO) • Strong local independency for the shop stewards • Majority of all rights are limited to the shop stewards • Trade Union representatives have no formal right to interfere with local practices as long the practice is in accordance with the ruling Branch agreement

  11. EEA Fund, NHO’s approach • The beneficiary state is to decide what is important • Limited resources for project involvement in NHO • No capacity for being responsible for a project, will not apply for funding • Might be a bipartner • Is to be assesed and considered by NHO if we are wanted as a bipartner • The presence of Norwegian (member)companies will be of importance
