Uføres Landsorganisasjon

Uføres Landsorganisasjon, commonly abbreviated ULO, is a Norwegian nationwide voluntary organisation for disabled people. Its stated purpose is to fight for the rights of disabled people in society and for the right to a dignified life, both economically and socially. ULO describes itself as party-politically and religiously neutral. The organisation was led by Laila Sandbekk and had approximately 600 members in 2016. The organisation was planned after many recipients of disability pension had their pensions changed as a result of the disability reform. Work to form an organisation for disabled people began on 26 December 2014. The name Uføres Landsorganisasjon was proposed by Randi A. Pettersen and decided after a vote. The founding meeting itself was held in closed form on the internet on 7 January 2015, where Laila Sandbekk was elected leader. ULO operates as an advocacy and membership organisation rather than a commercial enterprise. It maintains an official website at ulo.no and is present on social media, including Facebook and X (formerly Twitter). Its activities centre on representing the interests of disabled people in Norwegian society, with a focus on economic and social rights.
