- Made an extraordinary work effort (beyond what is expected) – BCA, clause 2.5.3,

Current issues
Reduction of temporary employment
Both NAR and the government are working to reduce the temporary employment in the University Sector. At UiO NAR is working to ensure that all measures adopted in 2019 are introduced. According to the management, the implementation of the measures has been delayed due to the pandemic. NAR at UiO is very critical of the fact that temporary employees (including those who have been converted to permanent positions) do not have the same rights as permanent employees.
Asbestos in Kristine Bonnevies House at MN
NAR has repeatedly addressed the situation in meetings with the management at MN.
Our main concern has been the insufficient information about the ongoing asbestos sanitation to the affected employees
We have also called for extension of contracts for employees who has been unable to do their work due to closed premises and general unrest.
Re-opening the University/ Easing of Covid-19 measures
We have asked the management for better information aimed at employees who will provide physical education. The danger of infection is still high in Oslo and with the current testing regime, it is difficult for many employees to meet the requirements of more physical presents at UiO. We have also called for a common UiO understanding of the one-meter distancing recommendation in teaching situations.
