This strike will affect a lot of tourists. Not only does it seem likely that there will be a beer shortage, but passenger ferries have reduced departure frequencies all over the country.
Been hit hard today with this 🙂
Is it only affecting Oslo or the effects are seen in other cities such as Bergen ? Thanks!
*French nod of approval*
If it keeps the tourists away, keep it going for as long as possible
There will be a Ringnes Shortage Hansa-Borg And Coca-Cola will be fine for two weeks
> The Norwegian union LO (Landsorganisasjonen i Norge) has begun one of the biggest general strikes in modern history, and have pulled 24,000 workers on general strike on the morning of April 17, 2013.
The article wrongly dates the strike as happening in 2013 then goes on to make wild assumptions regarding consequences.
> it seems likely that Norway will get a beer and soft drink shortage
> Expect many ferries to have severely reduced departure intervals, and some to even be completely closed until the strike is over.
This isn’t the first time I’ve seen inaccurate and blown out of proportion information coming from thenorwayguide.com.
To give a bit more context.
This strike is unusual. Never have a mid-term negotiation between LO (representing employees) and NHO (representing employers) which only involves salery end in a strike before. But it’s a result of high rise of inflation.
So to those who may wonder how long it will last? We don’t know. And will it affect the whole nation? Yes.
nice. wonder if i have to strike, never done that before. hopefully this affects crouse tourists in some way or another
Time to buy apple juice, sugar and yeast
Going by how respectful and eager to learn you are, there is nothing to worry about. You will love it here no doubt! I wish you guys the most pleasant of trips.
If LO’s demands are met, we will have unstoppable inflation and skyrocketing interest rates. The government has to step in and stop this but this government is too busy looking for ways to repel non EU people to do the right thing. The only correct way to help the workers is through policies that will raise the abysmal value of the krone.
Who cares…
Don’t get so damn addicted to all og sh*ts
Don’t blame them. My cost of living has risen substantially higher than consumer index based middling salary increase I have received.

“April 17, 2013.” Hmmm🤔
