On Friday Norwegian oil workers will decide whether to escalate a strike that has already reduced the country's oil and gas capacity. About 700 workers have been on strike since Sunday, after negotiations between unions and the industry broke down. The unions say that if workers decide to escalate the strike, locations will be chosen in a way that will reduce the impact on natural gas exports.
