Gas exchange prices in Europe have risen 2.7% since trading began on Monday due to a strike in Norway.
The Norwegian organization of managers and leaders (Lederne) did not negotiate with trade unions to increase the wages of workers in mining companies and went on strike. This will lead to a reduction in daily gas exports from Norway of 13%, Bloomberg reported on Monday, July 4th.
For the strike period, production will be temporarily halted in three offshore fields from July 5 and in three more by the end of the week.
Lederne decided to take drastic measures after unions refused to approve previously agreed plans to raise wages for mining workers to $ 3,220 or more per month.
The strike in Norway will take place against the backdrop of an intensifying gas crisis in Europe due to cuts in Russian supplies and attempts by European countries to have time to fill gas storage facilities before the onset of the cold. that time.
