AG: We follow the frontfag model, and the framework is already set. There is no room for local supplements beyond the central settlement.

Svar: The frontfag model sets a framework, not a ceiling. Chapter 4 of the Basic Agreement explicitly grants the right to local negotiations based on company economics, productivity, and future prospects. If the company is profitable, employees have a legitimate claim to a fair share.

Taktisk: Use when the employer tries to close the negotiation space by referencing central frameworks

AG: We don't have budget for salary increases this year. Market conditions are difficult.

Svar: Let's look at the numbers together. The company's annual report shows X in profit. The TBU report shows that real wage growth has been negative for the past two years. Employees have contributed to these results and deserve a fair share.

Taktisk: Demand access to the accounts. Concrete numbers beat rhetoric.

AG: All employees are treated equally here. We can't give some groups more than others.

Svar: Equal treatment doesn't mean everyone gets the same - it means comparable groups are treated fairly. Our members have taken on extra responsibility, worked overtime, and delivered results. Ignoring this isn't equal treatment, it's taking loyalty for granted.

Working Environment Act § 13-1 (equal treatment principle)

Taktisk: Appeals to sense of fairness. Works especially well against diplomatic employers.
