HISTORY

The Norwegian Transport Workers' Union (NTF) was a trade union established on April 2, 1896 and closed down on May 31, 2019. NTF was Norway's largest trade union in logistics and transport. The main areas of association were drivers and workshop / maintenance personnel in bus companies, warehousing / terminal workers and drivers in the freight and wholesale industry, newspaper carriers in newspaper companies, taxi drivers, employees in environmental companies (renovation and recycling), freight drivers (long and short haulage of goods) and dockers in the ports.

The union had over 20,000 members spread across 16 unions across the country.

The union's main administration, located in Oslo, consisted of nine union representatives and nine employees. NTF joined the National Organization in Norway in 1907. The union was a member of the International Transport Workers' Federation. the last federal leader was Lars Morten Johnsen.

On May 8, 2019, one extraordinary national meeting resolved that NTF be closed down and merged with Fellesforbundet (The United Federation of Trade Unions)

Østfold Transport Workers' Association (ØTF) was founded on May 7, 1999 as a merger of the city associations in Østfold. This was done to make it a strong association with a 100% free-bought association leader in Østfold. The association has since organized most of the transport workers in Østfold, except those employed at the Port. These have been organized in the Forening 100 Havn.

Since May 8, 2019, it was decided that NTF should join Fellesforbundet, so all the old transport workers' associations had to change their names and numbers. Some could keep their old number.

On 1 January 2020, Østfold ceased to exist and we became Viken. A merger of Akershus, Buskerud and Østfold.

During the 2021 parliamentary election, the current government voted to dissolve the new counties that wanted it, and Viken was split back into Akershus, Buskerud and Østfold Fylke from 1 January 2024.

ØTF was not among those who could keep the old number and our county was gone from 1st of January 2020 to 1st of January 2024, so then we simply and neatly changed our name to FELLESFORBUNDET AVDELING 22 VIKEN. We are still located at Astrids Gate 34 in Sarpsborg with entrance from Sverres Gate.
