I don't know if it currently happens, but they should lose two days' pay

Presumably they are compensated (if not in full) by the union's strike
fund.


Possibly, I'm not sure. But it would be good if the union's funds took more
of a hit from all of its political strikes.


How much does union membership cost?

For Norwegian Transport Workers Union it's 1.7 % of wages plus NOK
229/month for various collective insurance policies.
