Strike in Norway continues – production affected at four Elkem plants
Oslo, 22 August 2022 The process industry strike in Norway has still not been resolved. Following the initial preparations, production has now been stopped or scaled down at all of the four affected Elkem plants: Salten, Rana, Thamshavn and Fiskaa. Since the strike was started on 15 August, Elkem management and union personnel have worked together according to a separate agreement, which states how production is to be reduced in a responsible manner. As part of this process, Elkem has applied for and received strike exemptions for one furnace at Rana and one furnace at Thamshavn,
