LO is Norway’s largest and most influential workers’ organisation. About 850,000 workers are affiliated to the national unions which in turn are affiliated to LO.
The day-to-day work of LO is led by elected officers. They act on behalf of the organisation and members in negotiations with the employers and in contact with government bodies.
The objective of LO’ Educational Fund is to implement or give assistance to educational initiatives and competence development for members and trade union representatives who are entitled to grants from the Fund.
LO’s national unions are national organisations built up of local trade unions or departments. Each national union covers a specific trade, a branch of business, or a public service sector. 21 national unions are affiliated to LO.
Hard and bitter labour disputes advanced the labour movement into its breakthrough in the 1920’ies and 30’ies. During the German occupation, many trade union members were involved in resistance and underground activity.
