Strike action likely over pay deal

Iceland

Three trade unions were set to take 48-hour strike action as of 15 October in protest at the government's refusal to ensure a fair pay deal for all public sector workers. The SFR, SLFÍ and LL trade unions, part of the BSRB public services federation, have been calling for their members to get a pay deal comparable to the one already covering other groups of public sector workers. Nurses, prison staff and other public administration workers will join the strike while the police are also affected by the differential treatment. The unions have already set dates for four further 48-hour strikes in October and November with the prospect of all-out action from 16 November is no deal is reached.
