OSLO, April 16 (Reuters) - Almost 25,000 private-sector
workers in Norway will go on strike after negotiations with
employers broke down, and the conflict is set to escalate next
week, a senior advisor to the Norwegian Confederation of Trade
Unions (LO) said on Sunday.
Another 16,000 workers are due to strike from April 21
unless an agreement is found, and the conflict could ultimately
grow to around 200,000 workers, unions have said, but is not
expected to affect Norway's production of oil and natural gas.
