Wages

Yrkestrafikkforbundet is the union that has the most organized bus drivers. The demands are based on input from the departments ahead of this year's settlement. YTF requires that the employer fulfill the promise of wages more in line with industrial workers. In addition, YTF lowest wage rate on the bus schedule as the new minimum wage for tour bus drivers.

Head of Negotiations in Yrkestrafikkforbundet Linda Jæger looks forward to the negotiations that start on September 2nd.

– We should have compensated for the backlog that we have had in recent years' wage settlements. For example, bus and train drivers came out particularly badly in the coordinated settlement in 2018, states Jæger.

Improvements in everyday work

Yrkestrafikkforbundet demands that the provision that up to 10 minutes of delay is included in the hourly wage be removed. YTF also requires that the Oslo regulations for partial shifts be made applicable to everyone and that time be set aside to carry out the safety check.
