Efling Union members working at seven hotels in the capital area have voted in favour of a strike that will begin on 7 February. The Efling chairperson stated that 66% had voted in favour of the strike. The Confederation of Icelandic Enterprise (SA) believes the strike is illegal and has plans to file a lawsuit against Efling in the Labour Court.

Seven voters did not take a stand on the matter.
