National Wages Board


The National Wages Board is a Norwegian body for resolving labour disputes.
Its task is to perform a compulsory arbitration when negotiations of parties in Norwegian working life stall, and if the conflict has "consequences for life or health, or has other seriously damaging effects on society". The Parliament of Norway, or the Government of Norway when the Parliament is not in session, are responsible for convening the National Wages Board.
It was established on 19 December 1952 when the National Wages Board Act came into effect. It is based in Oslo, and has seven members. The secretariat is provided by the Norwegian Ministry of Labour.
The current members of the National Wages Board are:
