The National Mediator of Norway (Norwegian: Riksmekleren, until 2012 Riksmeklingsmannen) is a mediator's office of Norway. It is invoked in labour disputes, in other words when creation or revision of tariff agreements is disagreed upon.
It was established in 1915,[1] and the first National Mediator took office in 1916.[2] The headquarters are in Oslo.[1]
