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

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.

per annum)

annum)
