The full story
Fellesforbundet announced a sympathy strike involving 610 aviation union members to support striking SAS Link cabin crew. The action is scheduled to begin on November 24, 2026, and includes members of Aviator Airport Alliance AS in Bergen, SAS Ground Handling at Gardermoen, and NKF SAS SK Flykabinavtale. Cabin employees at SAS Link previously walked out in late October after rejecting a proposal from the State Mediator, demanding predictable base salaries instead of variable allowances and parity with other SAS employees. NHO Luftfart Managing Director Erik Lahnstein questioned the demands, stating that SAS Link employees have comparable wage levels and that a larger union has already negotiated an agreement.
