The mothers Astrid Jóhanna Kristjánsdóttir, Erla Þórdís Traustadóttir and Esther María Ragnarsdóttir all have in common to be with children in kindergartens in Hveragerði. They also have in common that they want to be part of the collective and support the staff in the struggle for collective bargaining. They have therefore announced a protest, in addition to Birgitta Ragnarsdóttir and Indiana Rós Ægissdóttir.
