The Union Representatives Conference for Hordaland 2025

NITO Hordaland invites union representatives in all sectors to a joint union representative conference.

We meet at Sotra. After the Sotra Bridge opened in the early 1970s, there has been a huge development of both housing and business development in what is today Øygarden municipality. Many of our members have their workplaces here.

A lot has happened in recent years. There has been great development in the area around Straume and Northern Lights The CO2 transport and storage facility in Øygarden opened in September 2024, to name a few. In 2027, a new Sotra connection will open and many expect that development will once again accelerate.

On Friday, we will gain insight into local business development, housing development, infrastructure development and maybe we will have a company visit in the afternoon. On Saturday, we will summarize this year's wage negotiations and we will have workshops across the collective agreement areas. 

We will return with a detailed program in early autumn, but feel free to sign up now! 

"The union representative conference for Hordaland is now being held for the fourth year in a row. We are proud to have established this meeting place for union representatives, where they can get professional replenishment and build networks with each other."

- Guro Fjellhaug, Head of Department NITO Hordaland
