- The hiring rules
-
- Companies cannot use temporary labour when the work is of a temporary nature, such as seasonal work or specific projects.
- Temporary labour can be used in agreement with employee representatives.
- A total ban on hiring temporary workers has been introduced in the construction industry in Oslo, Viken and the former Vestfold region (the Oslofjord region).
- After three years, all temporary workers have the right to permanent employment in the company that hired them.
- There are some exceptions to the new rules, including the hiring of substitutes, healthcare personnel and specialists.
- The regulations came into effect on 1 July 2023.
- LO coordinators
-
- LO has 14 coordinators across 18 big construction sites. Their job is to support union representatives and safety delegates in their work.
- The aim is to stop social dumping.
- They are employed by LO and hence independent from management at the projects where they operate.
- LO coordinators have been used on major public construction projects including the new government quarter in Oslo, Oslo Airport Gardermoen and large oil installations along the Norwegian coast.
