NITO Østfold
Østfold is one of 19 local branches in NITO, and we work to support and develop our members in the region. Our department is led by committed union representatives who are elected locally, with good help from employees at the NITO office at Inspiria in Sarpsborg. NITO Østfold works closely with the other departments in the east to create a broad offer for all member groups.
NITO Østfold
NITO where you are
NITO has 19 local branches spread out in all parts of the country, close to the members' workplaces. Your local branch board works based on NITO's goals and plans to support members, union representatives and business groups.
The departments are responsible for establishing and supporting the business groups in their department and must safeguard your interests. The department is an important meeting place for union representatives and members of NITO, and is a formal part of NITO's management system.
These are some of the most important tasks of a department in NITO
Bedriftsgrupper
A company group is a gathering of NITO members in a workplace. The union representatives in the company group represent and negotiate on behalf of all members.
NITO Ung
NITO Ung focuses on young members who are at the start of their careers, up to the year they turn 36.
NITO Studentene
NITO Students is the organization for master's and bachelor's students in engineering and technology. 13,000 student members at 25 campuses. The departments have an overall responsibility to follow up student representatives in the local branches at the campuses.
Kurs og arrangementer
NITO's local branches arrange courses, thematic meetings and important meeting places for members and union representatives. Courses and events are done both physically, when networking is an important element, and digital; to reach even more people.
Politisk påvirkning
As department representatives, we have a unique opportunity to influence local and regional politics. Together with the social policy department in NITO, the local department puts engineers and technologists; education and jobs on the agenda.
In NITO, it is the members who govern
Many have agreed to make an extra effort for NITO. The branch board plans and implements many activities for members and union representatives during the year, and they are also an important link between the local branches and NITO centrally.
We would like your input and you are welcome to contact us.
