Around 250 train departures in Norway are being cancelled this weekend after 46 train drivers went on strike. The conflict also affects cross-border train traffic between Gothenburg and Oslo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The strike began on Friday morning after negotiations between the Norwegian Locomotive Drivers' Union, NLF, and the train company Vy broke down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A total of 46 train drivers have gone on strike, leading to around 250 cancelled departures over the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Among the lines affected is the train connection between Gothenburg and Oslo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The background is, among other things, disagreements about salaries and train drivers' working hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NLF demands greater predictability in scheduling and equal pay for train drivers who perform the same work after the merger between Vy and Flytoget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 We demand that train drivers who perform the same work receive the same pay. It is a bad pay policy, a bad personnel policy and a bad railway policy, says NLF union leader Rolf Ringdal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The employers' organization Spekter, for its part, believes that the demands on train drivers are too high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is not clear from the data how many of the 250 cancelled departures concern traffic between Gothenburg and Oslo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
