Wage settlement approaching: Follow NITO's collective bargaining conference on stream
NITO's central collective bargaining conferences will be held on 10 and 11 March 2026. The joint part of the conference can be followed on stream – here the topics that set the framework for this year's wage settlement are highlighted.
"The central collective bargaining conferences are NITO's most important meeting place for over 350 union representatives before the wage settlement," says NITO President Kjetil Lein.
Here, representatives from the private sector, municipalities, the state, Spektrum and Samfunnsbedriftene meet to get an overview of the financial framework, discuss common challenges and share experiences. The insights from the conference form an important basis for the work NITO is doing on behalf of its members in this year's settlement.
"This year's joint programme highlights key topics that provide an updated picture of the situation ahead of the wage settlement.
Kjetil Lein, President of NITO
