Norwegian politician (born 1952)

**Terje Kalheim** (born 21 September 1952) is a Norwegian trade unionist and politician for the [Socialist Left](/source/Socialist_Left_Party_of_Norway) and [Labour](/source/Labour_Party_(Norway)) parties.

He grew up in [Bøler](/source/B%C3%B8ler), [Oslo](/source/Oslo) as a son of trade unionist [Ragnar Kalheim](/source/Ragnar_Kalheim). Terje Kalheim attended [Sogn Vocational School](/source/Sogn_Upper_Secondary_School) and became a carpenter, eventually being hired in [Oslo Sporveier](/source/Oslo_Sporveier). Here, he became the leader of the trade union.[1] Kalheim was also deputy leader of the organization against Norwegian EU membership, [Nei til EF](/source/Nei_til_EU), until 1991.[2]

In 1991 he became City Commissioner (*byråd*) of Culture in the city government of [Oslo](/source/Oslo), sitting until 1995 when he was not re-nominated for the [1995 Norwegian local elections](/source/1995_Norwegian_local_elections).[1] The reason was his change of heart in the EU membership question, relinquishing his opposition .[3] In 1996 Kalheim and fellow former city commissioner [Raymond Johansen](/source/Raymond_Johansen) both left the Socialist Left Party and joined the Labour Party.[4][5] Kalheim was employed by the [Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions](/source/Norwegian_Confederation_of_Trade_Unions).[1]
