The Norwegian Transport Workers Union (NTF) has started industrial action at Risavika terminal. The terminal’s management has refused to sign up to the sector wide collective agreement and is reported to contract seafarers to perform tasks normally done by dockers. The outsourcing of any tasks ‘historically or traditionally done by dockers’ is prohibited by the dockers’ clause.
