YS in goal in the initial negotiations
YS members in the Spekter area are guaranteed a minimum salary increase of NOK 14,625 per year before negotiations now continue locally. Hospital employees will negotiate later.
– We now have a good starting point for further negotiations. We expect our members to receive further increases so that real wage growth is achieved, says Trond Ellefsen, negotiation leader at YS Spekter.

Employees with a basic salary of NOK 490,242 and below are secured an additional salary supplement of at least NOK 5,850 in these initial negotiations.
– We have achieved a result that provides a good starting point for what will happen locally in the businesses. Further increases will be negotiated between employers and shop stewards. The local employers must then meet and contribute with increases that ensure real wage growth for our members, says Trond Ellefsen, negotiation leader at YS Spekter.
The initial negotiations are the first phase of the wage settlement in Spekter. Now there will be local negotiations in the individual businesses. The krone increases that have now been agreed upon will not be the final result, but are a minimum guarantee. The collective bargaining settlement will then be concluded in central negotiations.
YS Spekter assumes that emphasis should be placed on gender equality/equal pay in the businesses. This is in line with the agreed assumptions.
Furthermore, YS Spekter assumes that the overall wage growth agreed upon centrally and locally is normative for both managers and other groups in the organization.
Health enterprises with hospital operations and hospitals with operating agreements are not covered by the wage section of the initial central negotiations. The wage negotiations for these enterprises will take place later in the spring of 2023.
– The shop stewards now have an important task as negotiation leaders. I wish them well, and I would like to encourage the members to both provide input and support the work. The shop stewards are taking on important tasks on behalf of the members, says Ellefsen.
