SAS Norway Cabin Crew Strike for Better Wages and Conditions

SAS cabin crew in Norway initiated a strike to demand better salaries and working conditions after wage negotiations failed. The strike, involving 120 employees initially, is expected to escalate as more staff join. A government mediator stated that no mutually agreeable solution was found.

Cabin crew at Scandinavian airline SAS in Norway went on strike on Friday to demand better salaries and working conditions after wage talks broke down overnight, according to labor unions.

Initially involving 120 SAS employees, the strike is anticipated to escalate with more staff members set to join the picket line in the coming days. The exact impact on SAS flights remains uncertain.

Norway's government-appointed wage mediator, Mats Wilhelm Ruland, stated that he was unable to bridge the gap between the two parties. "There was no solution that could be expected to be recommended by both parties," Ruland said in a statement.
