Negotiation committees

The role of bargaining committees is to represent the company in the negotiation of collective agreements

Efling's bargaining committees are composed of members and have the important role of leading the company's wage negotiations. Members are advertised for bargaining committees when wage agreements become available and they work until agreements are reached. The chairman of Efling is the chairman of the bargaining committees. The company emphasizes that bargaining committees are large and that their work is open and transparent towards members.

The role of the bargaining committees is to represent the company in the conclusion of collective agreements and they have extensive authority. The committees attend bargaining meetings with counterparties but also hold their own meetings that the chairman calls and chairs. Serving on committees involves considerable work, but committee members may be entitled to attend meetings without loss of pay from the employer. The role of the bargaining committees is discussed in the Efling Act and in the Act on Trade Unions and Industrial Disputes.
