The strike at Norwegian hospitals was extended Monday morning, to include another 500 employees at six new hospitals. A total of around 950 employees at 10 hospitals are now on strike. However, leader of the hospital workers union (Akademikerne Helse), Rune Froeyland, underlines that all emergency work will proceed as planned.
Among the new hospitals affected are hospitals in Stavanger, Trondheim, Oslo and Bergen, as well as some regional hospitals.
The strike which began last Thursday is over pay, and there has been no contact between the two sides during the weekend.
