Norway Oil Exports may be strike bound

Oil rig workers in Norway are in dispute with Statoil, one of the largest producers, over plans to change the pension system.  The National Mediator has set a deadline of 23 June for resolution of the dispute, but workers will not take strike action until the rigs have been shut down safely.  However, a long term strike would mean that Norway would eventually have to reduce oil exports, which are one of its main sources of revenue.
