Under the agreement, Norske Skog and the unions will work together “locally, nationally and internationally” on the basis of the company’s core values – openness, honesty and cooperation. “This ensures the possibility for the employees to influence decisions through consultations with the management,” the agreement says.
Importantly, compliance with the agreement is subject to annual review at a joint meeting of the signatories. There is also a step-by-step complaints procedure, leading up to the global level where necessary.
