On Friday, the political leadership in the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry Labor and Social Affairs met with industry entities transport, trade unions, the business community and agencies as part of a tripartite industry program for transport. Here, parties were asked to contribute to the action plan.

Actions against social dumping

- The transport sector is a workplace for thousands of people across the country. They should experience safety at work. The government will stop actors who act frivolously and illegally on Norwegian roads. That is why we will prepare a special action plan against social dumping in the transport sector, says Minister of Labor and Social Inclusion Hadia Tajik.

The action plan will deal with measures to:

  • Regulations
  • Strengthened supervision and control
  • Information activities and information exchange
  • international cooperation
  • Enhanced trilateral and inter-agency cooperation
  • Recruitment and skills development

- We will look at all parts of the transport sector and invite relevant parties to contribute. We need a good contribution from both working life and the authorities concerned in the work to put in place a thorough, concrete and binding action plan against social dumping in the transport sector, says Nygård.
