A strike by oil workers in Norway could knock out almost a quarter of petroleum production in the country
OSLO - Oil firms and labour officials said they will meet with a state-appointed mediator on Friday in an attempt both sides hope will bring an end to a strike that threatens to cut Norway’s oil and gas output by some 25%.
“I really hope we can have the deal tomorrow. We were very close to reaching it today,” Audun Ingvartsen, leader of Norway’s Lederne union, told Reuters on Thursday.

Norway’s government, which can intervene if a strike is considered a national emergency, said in a statement that it was up to the two sides to resolve their differences and it was monitoring the situation.
