Trade unions in Norway

Labour movement in Norway

Trade unions in Norway first emerged with the efforts of Marcus Thrane and the formation of the Drammen Labour Union in 1848 which organised agricultural workers and crofters. However, with Thrane's imprisonment and the suppression of the union in 1855, it was not until 1872 before a union was founded again, by print workers. In 1899 the first national federation, the LO, was founded.[4][5] During this period interactions with trade unions in Denmark and Sweden played a great influence over the development of trade unions in Norway.[6]
