VR/LÍV and SGS refer wage negotiations to the State Conciliation and Mediation Officer

The wage agreement, which was signed in 2019, expired at the end of last month. VR, LÍV - The Commercial Federation of Iceland and The Federation of General and Special workers in Iceland (SGS) have been closely involved in negotiations with The Confederation of Icelandic Enterprise (SA) for the last few weeks and tried to reach a new agreement. There have been a lot of meetings, but now it appears that there is too much separating the parties. An agreement is not in sight and there are no grounds for continuing the talks at the moment.

Therefore, the unions have made the decision to refer the discussions between VR/LÍV and SGS with SA to the State Conciliation and Mediation Officer.
