The municipal entity the Port has taken action that triggers powerful accusations of social dumping from bryggesjauere which for many years has had an agreement to carry out loading and unloading at the docks.
It turns out that the contested decisions of the Port Authority is made with key Labour MPs as deputies to the board:
Former deputy Beate Synnøve Svenningsen in Oslo Ap sat as deputy of the Port while a secret note about squeezing the brewer workers’ rights was drafted, a decision to put container harbor out to tender was issued and the selection of Yilport was decided.
top candidate Raymond Johansen took
29. August 2014 received Foretaksregisteret message that Raymond Johansen, who is the party’s governing mayor candidate at this autumn’s municipal elections, was appointed deputy chairman of the board of the Port Authority.
Johansen still stands as the deputy Enterprises. But ABC News are told that he has gone off and now is replaced by another Labor man, LO employees Terje Kalheim.
In all this time the organized dock workers have been in turmoil over the treatment they receive.

Set Ap peaks quiet?
– It amazes me how far NHO and a municipal business that the Port is willing to go. We hit the wall, while the oslo politicians sitting and watching.
That said brew sjau shoulder Anders Wennevold to ABC News as he and other port workers in May demonstrated against social dumping in the Port.
They have been barred from their jobs, while the public port company has outsourced the operation of the container port for 20 years to the Turkish company Yilport.
There are not brew sjau holders have a collective agreement to work in port employment. Yilport also refuses to enter into a collective agreement with Transport Workers Union, who Oslo pier Labourers belongs. Yilports Norwegian management also operates secret phone number.
Now it turns out that some oslo politicians not only have sat quietly and watched. A party which marks strongly against social dumping, Labor, has always been the deputy position in Oslo Airport’s control.
Municipal harbor with hidden games
According Brygge Workers Association Deputy Tommy Torgersen has several years work, done behind the scenes to get squeezed out pier sjau holders, which until now has had a monopoly on managing unloading and loading. Instead wanting transport companies to use cheaper labor.
Surprisingly enough, have municipal company Port Authority participated in a working behind the scenes to make this happen. In a strategy memo from December 2012 summed up a common strategy “for competitive and efficient terminals” between the port company and operators.
On page 2, in a report that ABC News has gained access to listed it up four options.
The first is “Negotiation road.” Option 2 is the “Societal Impact easier to get a clarification.” He is one of the points that “It is written a letter that the most objective way explains why the preferential right to brew workers makes it difficult to achieve the goal of more goods by sea.”
Option 3 has the speaking titled “Obstruction road – how can we obstruct so brew workers will change.”
Read from the Port of Oslo strategy note
Labor: – Very, very not doing ok
Raymond Johansen has no time to answer ABC Nyheter questions about his behavior in the port board.
But Rina Mariann Hansen, deputy head of Labor Group in Oslo City Council and 3 . candidate at this fall’s election, stressing that party all the way have been concerned that the rules of the Norwegian working life being lived in the Port, although the city council does not control the port directly.
– It shall be allowed to organize themselves, allowed to get a collective agreement. What we have seen is a very, very puzzling process, said Hansen told ABC News.
She specifies that the directors of the Port sits in its own right and is appointed by the city council.
ABC News knows that the board of the Port has made a secret strategy to destroy the organized brew sjau ernes rights reserved for loading and unloading. It happened before Raymond Johansen joined the Board. The time was another Labor representative, Beate Synnøve Svenningsen, deputy head of Oslo Airport’s control.
– Svenningsen has not made any secret memo with us in the City Council. But we know that she voted for tender launching, says Hansen.
Labor without sight for tender launching
Rina Mariann Hansen says oslo party has not discussed for or against putting container harbor out to tender.
– The organization of the harbor has never been treated by the City Council. We assume that it’s the way that it has never been a deliberate strategy to squeeze out wharf workers. It would then be contrary to what we otherwise relate in Oslo.
– Do you perceive that the Port fulfills Aps expectations?
– It is important that company Yilport follows the rules of the Norwegian labor market and are open about who is in the lead.
– Have Raymond Johansen as deputy Oslo Airport’s control has done nothing to rectify the imbalances?
– He sat there for a short time. I felt that he was concerned that the Port must follow the rules.
Blends not into agreements
– Port Authority has signed a 20 year agreement with Yilport the operation of container port. Is it in line with the Oslo Labor Party want?
– Who can enter into contracts with when it is approved tenders, blends Ap not into, says Hansen.
She also emphasizes that the party is not going to mean anything in controversy over Yilport shall enter into a collective agreement with Transport Workers Union. For some staff, the company has signed an agreement with YS-associated Parat.
– Do you see any danger that Yilports entry at the Port may promote social dumping?
– I’m certainly concerned that we from Aps side should pay close attention to ensure that there will be social dumping.
– It may seem like you have not done it very carefully until now?
– This is wrong. We have asked many questions of the City Council about the conditions in Oslo harbor to ensure that they comply with laws and regulations and good municipal practice. But it is the city council that has control and is politically responsible, says Rina Mariann Hansen.
