Within fields where the board deems there to be a demonstrable problem of social dumping or similar exploitation of labor, the board has the authority to extend a collective bargaining agreement that applies to the field to any worker within that field, whether the worker is unionized or not. In effect, this establishes a minimum wage within several fields covered by universally extended collective bargaining agreements, although Norway does not have a universally applicable minimum wage.
As of 2015, eight collective bargaining agreements have been extended.
These apply to
* Construction workers
* Shipping and shipyard workers
* Workers in the agricultural industry
* Workers in the cleaning industry
* Workers in the fishing industry
* Electricians, except offshore workers
* Workers in the freight transport industry
* Bus drivers
