• A majority of the union’s members rejected ⁠the agreement, and 468 employees plan ​to go on strike as a result, Fellesforbundet ​said.
• The head of negotiations for Fellesforbundet, Dag-Einar Sivertsen, said he sees a possibility that a strike could ​be averted.
• A second union, Parat, said ​its members had also rejected the settlement and could ‌call ⁠a strike at short notice unless a deal is agreed.

• SAS cabin crew members have lagged behind wage developments in society in ​general, Fellesforbundet said.
• The ​carrier’s ⁠cabin crew in Norway last went on strike in August 2024, ​in a conflict lasting for four ​days.
• SAS ⁠is disappointed by the outcome of the union votes but will prepare the grounds ⁠for new ​talks as soon as ​possible, a spokesperson for the airline told news agency ​NTB.
