IDF - information, consultation and negotiation

At OsloMet participative decision-making is exerted through information, consultation and negotiation (IDF) in accordance with the Basic Agreement for the Civil Service and our own Adjustment Agreement.

The organisation's representation

From August 1 2014, the employees are represented by four chief employee representatives who attend monthly meetings with the college management at the organisational level about issues relating to the University College as a whole.

Chief employee representatives

Participation should be exercised through information, consultation and negotiations (IDF). Matters concerning several operational units should be treated at the organisational level in central IDF meetings.

From 1 April 2016, the trade unions are represented in the central IDF meeting by the following chief employee representatives:

• Federation of Professional Associations: Mona Sinding-Larsen
• Association of Researchers: Erik Dahlgren
• Civil Service Union: Anders Schjelderup-Lyng
• Confederation of Vocational Unions (YS): Liv Ingunn Bråten

IDF meeting schedule

IDF meetings should be held before board meetings. Matters not discussed in the board meeting must be included in these meetings. If the caseload is heavy, extra meetings can be held as needed.
