June 26, 2015 at 9:31 amHello ,i have read your article and have to point out some of the issues refered to,the terminal of Yliport is not function as it should be,ther have been big tecknical issues and delays,some of the customers have big problems to get theyr containers and ther is company that has changed arrival port,MAERSK as an example.
That Yliport dont respect labour rights and follow Norwegian law is a big problem and also that they break the law regarding overtime and the conditions for the healt and safty in this laws should really be pointed out.
Regarding automatic of the cranes,well if you ask the crane drivers i am sure they have not been informed that they will be out of work and all loading and unloading will go automaticilly.This you need to ask the crane drivers but as far as my information about the port they have not get that kind of information.
Untill recently Yliport was not registreted with any employers and also not any offices in Norway ,even they refer to that often.
Yliport deny to sign a CBA with the dockers that is working in the port and is the right workers entitled to this type of work.
Yliport is a company that has not been intrested to follow Norwegian laws or ouer rights for the labour organizations
I hope you check the information before publishing a article as this.
