HISTORY
The
Norwegian Transport Workers' Union (NTF) was
a trade union established on April 2, 1896 and
closed down on May 31, 2019. NTF was Norway's
largest trade union in logistics and transport.
The main areas of association were drivers and
workshop / maintenance personnel in bus companies,
warehousing / terminal workers and drivers in the
freight and wholesale industry, newspaper carriers
in newspaper companies, taxi drivers, employees in
environmental companies (renovation and
recycling), freight drivers (long and short
haulage of goods) and dockers in the ports.
The union
had over 20,000 members spread across 16 unions
across the country.
The
union's main administration, located in Oslo,
consisted of nine union representatives and nine
employees. NTF joined the National Organization in
Norway in 1907. The union was a member of the
International Transport Workers' Federation. the
last federal leader was Lars Morten Johnsen.
On May 8,
2019, one extraordinary national meeting resolved
that NTF be closed down and merged with
Fellesforbundet (The United Federation of Trade
Unions)
Østfold
Transport Workers' Association (ØTF) was
founded on May 7, 1999 as a merger of the city
associations in Østfold. This was done to make it
a strong association with a 100% free-bought
association leader in Østfold. The association has
since organized most of the transport workers in
Østfold, except those employed at the Port. These
have been organized in the Forening 100 Havn.
Since May
8, 2019, it was decided that NTF should join
Fellesforbundet, so all the old transport workers'
associations had to change their names and
numbers. Some could keep their old number.
On 1
January 2020, Østfold ceased to exist and we
became Viken. A merger of Akershus, Buskerud and
Østfold.
ØTF was
not among those who could keep the old number and
our county was gone, so then we simply and neatly
changed our name to FELLESFORBUNDET AVDELING 22
VIKEN. We are still located at Astrids Gate 34 in
Sarpsborg with entrance from Sverres Gate.
