The Norwegian Society of Engineers and Technologists (Norwegian: Norges Ingeniør- og Teknologorganisasjon; NITO) is the largest union in engineering in Norway with approximately 108 000 members.[3] NITO has 21 regional branches covering the country and over 2,000 local clubs and shop stewards. Most of the working members are affiliated to a local club. The local clubs or workshops are organisationally placed directly under the regional branches. With a few exceptions the branches follow Norway's county borders.
NITO was established in 1936 and is an independent, non-affiliated, and non-political union.
NITO is led by a Board of Representatives. The daily work of the union is carried out by shop stewards and elected union representatives at different organisational levels; by the secretariat and main office in Oslo, consisting of the general secretary and 75 employees; and by the 23 employees who run the branch offices.
