ICEM Global Framework Agreement with Norske Skog
The ICEM and Norske Skogindstrier ASA signed a Global Agreement in June 2002, making the Nordic pulp and paper producer the second Norwegian company to enter into a global standards agreement with ICEM. It was signed with Norwegian Fellesforbundet. It sets out adherence to basic standards of employment, ranging from freedom of association and right to collective bargaining to an employee's right to a safe and healthy work environment to employment, as a rule, based on permanent employment with temporary and part-time workers receiving the same relative terms and conditions as full-time workers. It contains an annual review process.
