Now a decision must be made whether to accept the offers that the consultants have presented. | BLARK_translated | Nú skal støða takast, um takast skal av tilboðunum, sum ráðgevararnir hava lagt fram. |
This is the first step in a plan to remodel the building so that the association will have better facilities to operate in. | BLARK_translated | Hetta er fyrsta stigið í eini ætlan at umbyggja bygningin, so at felagið fær betri karmar at virka undir. |
The new building will provide better facilities for the association’s work, including for professional groups that are planned to be developed. There will also be opportunities for other trade unions to move into the premises, so that a lively and nurturing environment for union activity is created. | BLARK_translated | Nýggi bygningurin fer at geva betri karmar fyri arbeiðinum í felagnum, m.a. hjá fakbólkum, sum ætlanin er at menna. Eisini verða møguleikar fyri at onnur fakfeløg kunnu flyta inn í húsini, so at eitt livandi og mennandi umhvørvi verður skapt fyri fakfelagsvirksemi. |
This is the ruling of the Fixed-Term Contract Court, which has issued a decision in the contractual dispute between the Civil Servants' Union and the Ministry of Finance. | BLARK_translated | Hetta er niðurstøðan hjá Fasta Gerðarrætti, sum hevur gjørt úrskurð í sáttmálatrætu millum Starvsmannafelagið og Fíggjarmálaráðið. |
The Civil Servants' Union appealed the case after a few dramatic days leading up to the parliamentary election in 2011, which would culminate in Faroese TV viewers being left in the dark on election night. | BLARK_translated | Starvsmannafelagið kærdi málið eftir nakrar dramatiskar dagar uppundir fólkatingsvalið í 2011, sum mundi enda við, at føroyskir sjónsvarpshyggjarar sótu fyri svørtum sjónvarpsskíggja valkvøldið. |
The situation was tense, and it was touch-and-go whether the employees at the Broadcasting Corporation would go on strike on election night. | BLARK_translated | Støðan var spent, og tað var um reppið, at starvsfólkini í Kringvarpinum løgdu arbeiði niður valkvøldið. |
The outcome was that the Trade Union took the case to the Permanent Arbitration Court, which has now issued a ruling and upheld the union's claim. | BLARK_translated | Endin var tó tann at Starvsmannafelagið fór í Fasta Gerðarrætt við málinum, sum nú hevur gjørt úrskurð og givið felagnum viðhald. |
Other employees at the broadcasting company work rotating shifts. A duty roster is then made that shows when people work. These employees often have to work outside of regular working hours, and also on Saturdays and Sundays. For this they receive special shift pay according to § 21 of the collective agreement. | BLARK_translated | Onnur starvsfólk í kringvarpinum arbeiða skiftandi arbeiðstíðir. Tá verður ein vaktarlisti gjørdur, sum vísir nær fólkini arbeiða. Hesi starvsfólkini koma ofta út fyri at arbeiða uttan fyri vanligar arbeiðstíðir, og eisini leygardag og sunnudag. Fyri hetta fáa tey eitt serligt vaktargjald eftir § 21 í sáttmálanum. |
What is important in this connection is what the individual employee’s roster looks like before and after the new work shifts are assigned. If employees do not receive a new roster that includes the new working day in the roster, so that the requirements of § 20, subsection 1 are met, the new working day in practice li... | BLARK_translated | Tað, sum hevur týdning í hesum sambandi er, hvussu vaktarlistin hjá einkulta starvsfólkinum er áðrenn og eftir at nýggju arbeiðsboðini verða givin. Fær starvsfólk ikki nýggjan vaktarlista, har nýggi arbeiðsdagurin er innroknaður í vaktarlistan, so at krøvini í § 20, stk. 1 eru lokin, liggur nýggi arbeiðsdagurin í roynd... |
Dánjal Højgaard is a trained journalist and lawyer. He has worked at many different media outlets, including the public broadcaster, and has also served as a communications advisor for the Faroese Public Works Authority (Landsverk). | BLARK_translated | Dánjal Højgaard er útbúgvin journalistur og løgfrøðingur. Hann hevur arbeitt á nógvum ymiskum fjølmiðlum, m.a. í Kringvarpinum, og hevur eisini verið í starvi sum kunningarráðgevi hjá Landsverki. |
In addition to handling information, Dánjal will also participate in case processing, for example in connection with dismissals and other staff matters. | BLARK_translated | Umframt at taka sær av kunning fer Dánjal eisini at taka lut í málsviðgerð, t.d. í sambandi við uppsagnir og onnur starvsfólkamál. |
The annual Nordic conference, organized by the trade union NSO – Nordiske Statstjenestemenns Organisation – was this year held in the northern Norwegian town of Tromsø. Norway has had the chairmanship for the past year, and they chose to hold the conference up in Tromsø. | BLARK_translated | Árliga norðurlendska ráðstevnan, sum fakfelagsskapurin NSO – Nordiske Statstjenestemenns Organisation – skipar fyri, varð í ár hildin í norðurnorska býnum Tromsø. Noreg hevur havt formansskapin seinasta árið, og valdu tey at leggja ráðstevnuna uppi í Tromsø. |
Tromsø is well north of the Arctic Circle, so at this time of year the sun is visible all day long. On the days the conference took place, the weather was excellent. | BLARK_translated | Tromsø liggur væl norðanfyri polarkringin, so hesa árstíðina er sólin at síggja alt samdøgrið. Hesar dagar, ráðstevnan var, var av besta veðri. |
For the Civil Servants' Association participated Selma Ellingsgaard, Svend Åge Seloy and Anna Johannesen. | BLARK_translated | Fyri Starvsmannafelagið luttóku Selma Ellingsgaard, Svend Åge Seloy og Anna Johannesen. |
At the NSO conference the Nordic employers are also present, and Snorri Fjallsbak, director of the Wage Department in the Ministry of Finance, therefore also participated in the conference. | BLARK_translated | Á NSO-ráðstevnuni eru eisini norðurlendsku arbeiðsgevararnir við, og Snorri Fjallsbak, stjóri á Lønardeildini í Fíggjarmálaráðnum, luttók tí eisini á ráðstevnuni. |
Martin Madsen from the Labour Movement’s Business Council gave a presentation about the Nordic welfare services and financial growth. He pointed to the dynamic impact of public expenditures, such as education, research, childcare, public investments, etc. | BLARK_translated | Martin Madsen frá Arbejderbevægelsens Erhvervsråd hevði eitt innlegg um norðurlendsku vælferðartænasturnar og fíggjarligan vøkstur. Hann vísti á dynamiska ávirkan av almennum útreiðslum, so sum útbúgving, gransking, barnaansing, almennar íløgur v.m. |
As an example, he mentioned among other things that an employee who obtains a qualification is 10 years longer in the labor market, and that a childcare worker who takes care of 10 children gives 9 parents the opportunity to be in the labor market. | BLARK_translated | Sum dømi nevndi hann m.a., at eitt starvsfólk, sum tekur eina útbúgving, er 10 ár longri á arbeiðsmarknaðinum, umframt at ein pedagogur, sum tekur sær av 10 børnum, gevur 9 foreldrum møguleika fyri at vera á arbeiðsmarknaðinum. |
In addition to lectures, each country has its own presentation, which is then discussed. There is also the opportunity to ask questions. | BLARK_translated | Umframt fyrilestrar, so hevur hvørt landið sína framløgu, sum síðani verður kjakast um. Eisini er høvi at seta spurningar. |
Another challenge regarding higher education is the pressure on wage setting, meaning that positions with the same job content are paid differently depending on the education the employee has. | BLARK_translated | Ein onnur avbjóðing í sambandi við hægri útbúgving er trýstið á lønarásetingina, soleiðis at skilja, at størv við sama starvsinnihaldi verða lønt ymiskt, alt eftir hvørja útbúgving starvsfólkið hevur. |
YS-Stat emphasizes bringing out the positive aspects of ordinary office work, which is declining due to the trend that all competence is expected to come through higher education. | BLARK_translated | YS-Stat leggur dent á, at fáa fram positivu síðurnar av vanligu skrivstovulæruni, sum er minkandi orsaka av rákinum, at allur førleiki skal koma gjøgnum hægri útbúgving. |
In Iceland today about 60% of public-sector employees have higher education. As in Norway, employees with higher education are placed in newly created positions, even though this is not a requirement in the job advertisement. | BLARK_translated | Í Íslandi hava í dag uml. 60% av almennu starvsfólkunum hægri útbúgving. Eins og í Noregi, verða starvsfólk við hægri útbúgving sett í nýsett størv, hóast hetta ikki er eitt krav í lýsingini. |
The union of Icelandic public employees works to ensure its members' opportunities so that they remain an attractive workforce within the public administration. | BLARK_translated | Fakfelagið hjá íslendsku almennu starvsfólkunum arbeiðir fyri at tryggja limum teirra møguleikar, soleiðis at tey framhaldandi vera ein attraktiv arbeiðsmegi innan almennu fyrisitingina. |
The Trade Union had chosen to have the discussion topic “Social capital – opinion survey and overall picture.” | BLARK_translated | Starvsmannafelagið hevði valt at hava umrøðuevnið „Sosialur kapitalur – meiningakanning og heildarmynd“. |
The Trade Union organized, together with the Ministry of Finance, the Municipal Employers’ Association, Føroya Tele and Posta, an event at Norðurlandahúsið on April 8, where we highlighted the importance of “social capital” broadly.

Lyklahugtøkini í sosiala kapitalinum eru „samstarv – tryggleiki – rættvísi“. Hesi 3 lyklahugtøk eru m.a.... |
to find out how things were regarding well-being at our workplaces, the union conducted a Gallup survey, which was presented at the Nordic House on April 8. | BLARK_translated | hvussu tað var statt við trivnaðinum úti á okkara arbeiðsplássum, gjørdi felagið eina Gallup-kanning, sum varð løgd fram í Norðurlandahúsinum 8. apríl. |

When we compare ourselves with, for example, Denmark, we rank higher in the measures related to collaboration among employees, while we rank lower in communication between management and employees.

Members who either become unemployed, are on unpaid leave, or start training can become inactive members of the Staff Association. Inactive membership means that you retain collective insurance and other rights, such as discounts from companies we have agreements with, and discounts on rentals of our premises. | BLARK_translated | Limir, ið annaðhvørt gerast arbeiðsleysir, eru í farloyvi uttan løn, ella fara undir útbúgving, kunnu gerast hvílandi limir í Starvsmannafelagnum.

The agreement is valid as long as both parties wish it. | BLARK_translated | Frá 1. juli varð møguligt hjá limum Starvsmannafelagsins at fáa 10% avsláttur við keyp av nýggjum dekkum, og ókeypis dekkkanning einaferð um árið frá bilasøluni hjá Øssur Johannesen, Vegurin Langi 43, Hoyvík.

SHIFT CHANGE: The association NTR, which is a collaboration between Nordic trade unions that have collective agreements with the municipalities, has got a new chairman. | BLARK_translated | VAKTARSKIFTI: Felagsskapurin NTR, sum er eitt samstarv millum norðurlendsk fakfeløg, ið hava sáttmála við kommunurnar, hevur fingið nýggjan formann. |
NTR held a meeting in Stockholm last week, where the association elected a new general secretary and a new chairman. | BLARK_translated | NTR hevði fund í Stokkhólmi í farnu viku, har felagsskapurin valdi nýggjan aðalskrivara og nýggjan formann. |
Andersen takes over after Dan Nielsen, who has been the chief secretary at NTR for the past eight years. | BLARK_translated | Andersen tekur við eftir eftir Dan Nielsen, sum hevur verið aðalskrivari í NTR tey seinastu átta árini. |
Cooperation in NTR is organized into a political and an administrative part, and it is the political part that chooses the secretary-general. | BLARK_translated | Samstarvið í NTR er skipað í ein politiskan og ein umsitingarligan part, og er tað tann politiski parturin, sum velur aðalskrivaran. |
NTR also elected a new chair at the meeting in Stockholm. The new chair is Bodil Otto, who is chairwoman of the Danish trade union HK Kommunal. | BLARK_translated | NTR valdi eisini nýggjan formann á fundinum í Stokkhólmi. Nýggjur formaður er Bodil Otto, sum er forkvinna í danska fakfelagnum HK Kommunal. |
NTR organizes a conference every year where issues of common interest to the trade unions are discussed. The most recent conference was in Iceland and the topic was the financial crisis in Iceland. The next conference will be in Denmark. | BLARK_translated | NTR skipar á hvørjum ári fyri ráðstevnu, har mál av felags áhuga fyri fakfeløgini verða viðgjørd. Ráðstevnan seinast var í Íslandi og var evnið fíggjarkreppan í Íslandi. Ráðstevnan næstu ferð verður í Danmark. |
From now on, representatives of the partner organizations meet a few times a year.

WORKDAY: On Friday, September 27 there was a public reception at the Ministry of Culture in connection with Svanhild Joensen from Tórshavn having worked in the school system for a full 50 years. | BLARK_translated | STARVSDAGUR: Fríggjadag 27. september var almenn mót- tøka í Mentamálaráðnum í sambandi við at Svanhild Joensen úr Havn hevur arbeitt í skúlaverkinum í samfull 50 ár. |
Svanhild Joensen was only 16 years old when she started in the school administration. At that time the workplace was the Government Representative’s office and the Government Representative was called Mogens Wahl. | BLARK_translated | Svanhild Joensen var bert 16 ára gomul, tá hon byrjaði í skúlafyrisitingini. Tá var arbeiðsstaðið ríkisumboðið og Ríkisumboðsmaðurin kallaðist Mogens Wahl. |
In 1979 the school system was taken over. At that time Svanhild joined the National School Administration, where she, as payroll officer, received the daily management of the payroll office. | BLARK_translated | Í 1979 var skúlaverkið yvirtikið. Tá kom Svanhild á Landsskúlafyrisitingina, har hon sum lønarfulltrúi fekk dagligu leiðsluna av lønarskrivstovuni. |
Over the years the employer has had different names: the State Representative, the National School Administration, the Ministry of Education and Culture, the Directorate of Culture, and in recent years the Ministry of Culture and Education. | BLARK_translated | Gjøgnum árini hevur arbeiðsgevarin havt ymisk nøvn: Ríkisumboðið, Landsskúlafyrisitingin, Undirvísingar– og Mentamálastýrið, Mentamálastýrið og seinastu árini Mentamálaráðið. |
At the meeting in the Ministry of Culture, Svanhild received many good reviews. Said | BLARK_translated | Á samkomuni í Mentamálaráðnum fekk Svanhild nógv góð skoðsmál. Sagt |
it was said that she had been both hardworking, reliable, thoughtful, capable, calm and thorough. | BLARK_translated | varð, at hon hevur verið bæði arbeiðssom, álítandi, hugsandi, dugandi, still og drúgv. |
It also emerged that Svanhild has a bone in her nose and that as a payroll officer she has always emphasized that everything is done correctly. | BLARK_translated | Samstundis kom fram, at Svanhild hevur bein í nøsini og at hon sum lønarfulltrúi altíð hevur lagt dent á, at alt fer rætt fram. |
There is respect among school leaders for what you say. You are fair, so they should get what is stipulated, but not more. If they try to cheat or find creative solutions that lie outside the framework, you find it immediately and the mistake is corrected, said Poul Geert Hansen in his speech. | BLARK_translated | Tað er respekt millum skúlaleiðarar um tað, tú sigur. Tú ert rættvís, so at teir skulu hava tað, sum er ásett, men heldur ikki meira. Royna teir at snýta ella at finna kreativar loysnir, sum liggja uttanfyri karmarnar, so finnur tú tað umgangandi og so verður feilurin rættaður, segði Poul Geert Hansen í røðu síni. |
During these 50 years Svanhild has worked under three government commissioners, 18 ministers and three permanent secretaries. And technically the development has been significant: | BLARK_translated | Hesi 50 árini hevur Svanhild arbeitt undir trimum ríkisumboðsmonnum, 18 landsstýrismonnum og trimum aðalstjórum. Og tøkniliga hevur menningin verið stór: |
Still, you cannot tell by looking at her when she comes trotting down Hoyvíksvegur in the mornings that “here comes the schoolteacher and that she has been walking here for fifty years,” said the minister. And he added jokingly: | BLARK_translated | Kortini sæst tað ikki á skinninum, tá ið hon kemur trippandi niðan eftir Hoyvíksvegnum um morgnarnar, at „her kemur telda skúlans og at hon hevur gingið her í fimti ár“, segði landsstýrismaðurin. Og legði skemtandi afturat: |
is called Svanhild. This may sound to some like a new storm is coming. But I also somehow have the feeling that this is what we need now that Svanhild has announced that she is going to retire from her position in the school's service. | BLARK_translated | kallast Svanhild. Hetta ljóðar kanska í oyrunum á summum, sum at ein nýggj ódn er á veg. Men eg havi eisini onkursvegna varhugan av, at tað er hetta, vit hava brúk fyri, nú Svanhild hevur boðað frá, at hon fer at gevast í starvi sínum í skúlans tænastu. |
Svanhild Joensen is from Svínoy, but has lived most of her life in Tórshavn. She is married to Ragnar C. Joensen. | BLARK_translated | Svanhild Joensen er úr Svínoy, men hevur búð meginpartin av lívinum í Havn. Hon er gift við Ragnar C. Joensen. |
Svanhild has decided to retire at New Year’s, now that she is approaching 67 years old. | BLARK_translated | Svanhild hevur avgjørt, at leggja frá sær á nýggjárinum, nú hon nærkast 67 árum. |
Kári á Rógvi, a doctor of law, gave a lecture on public transparency and on the importance of the public having insight into the basis when the country's authorities make decisions. | BLARK_translated | Kári á Rógvi, doktari í løgfrøði helt fyrilestur um alment innlit og um týdningin av, at almenningurin fær innlit í grundalagið, tá ið landsins myndugleikar taka avgerðir. |
He explained the rules on public access and said that public access is a fundamental democratic right. Access is an age-old basic principle, and a usual condition for rules and laws to have force is that they are made public. | BLARK_translated | Hann greiddi frá reglunum um alment innlit og segði, at alment innlit eru grundleggjandi fólkaræðilig rættindi. Innlit er fyrndargomul grundregla, og vanlig treyt fyri at reglur og lógir hava gildi er at tey eru almannakunngjørd. |
Kári á Rógvi put question marks on whether the Ministry of Internal Affairs had the authority to deny the public access to the contract between the government and the Danish pension company. He called for greater accountability in the administration toward the public. | BLARK_translated | Kári á Rógvi setti spurnartekn við um Innlendismálaráðið hevði heimild at nokta almenninginum innlit í sáttmálan millum landsstýrið og danska pensjónsfelagið. Hann eftirlýsti størri trúskap í fyrisitingini mótvegis opinleika |
and transparency and said he hoped that the requests for insight would be examined by the parliament’s messenger. | BLARK_translated | og gjøgnumskygni og segði seg vóna, at umbøninar um innlit verða royndar hjá løgtingsins um boðsmanni. |
Yes, that is my very clear conviction. A fairly large part of the decisions that are made are politically related, one way or another. | BLARK_translated | Ja, tað er mín heilt greiða sannføring. Ein rættiliga stórur partur av teimum avgerðum, ið tiknar verða, eru politiskt relateraðar, so ella so. |
and other parliamentary matters that directly or indirectly affect the association's members. Among other things, consolidation of institutions. | BLARK_translated | og onnur løgtingsmál, sum beinleiðis ella óbeinleiðis raka limir felagsins. Millum annað samanleggingar av stovnum. |
In summary, in my opinion the Civil Servants’ Association should and must be politically active in matters where the union considers that political authority intervenes in issues that directly or indirectly affect the union’s members. | BLARK_translated | Samanumtikið eigur og skal Starvsmannafelagið eftir mínum tykki vera politiskt virkið í málum, har felagið metir, at politiska valdið kemur inn á mál, sum beinleiðis ella óbeinleiðis hava ávirkan á limir felagsins. |
The Staff Association was among the roughly 30 organizations that took part in the People's Meeting, which was in Klaksvík on Friday the 20th and Saturday the 21st of September. | BLARK_translated | Starvsmannafelagið var millum teir umleið 30 felagsskapirnar, sum tóku lut á Fólkafundinum, sum var í Klaksvík fríggjadagin 20. og leygardagin 21. september. |
The association had a booth in the KÍ hall where information was given about the association’s activities. More than 1,500 people visited the People’s Meeting, and among them were several who stepped onto the floor at the booth of the Employees’ Association, and for example several school youths were around on Friday. | BLARK_translated | Felagið hevði bás í KÍ-høllini, har kunnað varð um virksemið í felagnum. Meiri enn 1500 fólk vitjaðu Fólkafundin og av teimum vóru fleiri sum stukku inn á gólvið á básinum hjá Starvsmannafelagnum, og vóru tildømis fleiri skúlaungdómar framvið fríggjadagin. |
On the stand there were brochures displayed and a presentation was on the computer screen, briefly describing the activity. | BLARK_translated | Á básinum lógu faldarar frammi og ein framløga var á telduskíggja, har virksemið í stuttum varð lýst. |
the visitors also had the opportunity to take part in a quiz where they could guess the names of the union board members in the Staff Association. | BLARK_translated | høvdu tey vitjandi eisini høvi, at vera við í eini spurnarkapping, har tey sluppu at gita nøvnini á nevndarlimum í Starvsmannafelagnum. |
The civil servants' union also organized a panel discussion, where the topic was politics and trade unions. | BLARK_translated | Starvsmannafelagið skipaði eisini fyri pallborðsfundi, har evnið varð politikkur og fakfeløg. |
For the Civil Servants' Union the public meeting is a welcome opportunity to spotlight the union and the importance of trade union activity. This year’s public meeting was held under one roof, in the KÍ Hall and the Badminton Hall, which are adjoining. This was an advantage compared with last year’s public meeting in H... | BLARK_translated | Fyri Starvsmannafelagið er fólkafundurin eitt kærkomið høvi at varpa ljós á felagið og týdningin av fakfelagsvirksemi. Fólkafundurin í ár varð hildin undir einari og somu lon, í KÍ-høllini og Badmintonhøllini, sum eru sambygdar. Hetta var ein fyrimunur sammett við fólkafundin í Hoyvík í fjør, |
The People's Assembly is a political/democratic festival. Similar festivals are also held in four of our neighboring countries: Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark. | BLARK_translated | Fólkafundurin er ein politiskur/ demokratiskur festivalur. Slíkir festivalar vera eisini hildnir í fýra av okkara grannalondum: Svøríki, Norra, Finnlandi og Danmark. |
Debate meeting: Trade unions should not support specific political parties. Rather, they should seek support across party lines to secure influence. This was the view more or less shared by the leaders of six trade unions at a debate meeting in Klaksvík on September 21. | BLARK_translated | Kjakfundur: Fakfeløg eiga ikki at stuðla ávísum politiskum flokkum. Heldur eiga tey at søkja sær stuðul tvørturum floksmørk fyri at tryggja sær ávirkan. Hetta vóru leiðararnir í seks fakfeløgum meira ella minni samdir um á kjakfundi í Klaksvík 21. september |
The political parties in the Faroe Islands should not expect support from the trade unions in a hurry. | BLARK_translated | Politisku flokkarnir í Føroyum skulu ikki rokna við stuðli frá fakfeløgunum í bræði. |
Because the companies can end up losing more than they earn. | BLARK_translated | Tí kunnu feløgini koma at missa meira enn tey vinna. |
This was the main conclusion when the leaders of six organizations in the private and public labour markets debated the relationship between politics and trade unions at the People's Assembly on Democracy, which was in Klaksvík in September. | BLARK_translated | Hetta var høvuðsniðurstøðan, tá ið leiðararnir í seks feløgum á privata og almenna arbeiðsmarknaðinum kjakaðust um sambandið millum politikk og fakfeløg á Fólkafundinum um fólkaræði, sum var í Klaksvík í september. |
The Union of Public Employees organized the debate after members of several trade unions had expressed their dissatisfaction that the unions had organized a large protest on the Vágur (the Vág) earlier this autumn. The criticism has been that this exceeded the mandate the members had given the unions. | BLARK_translated | Starvsmannafelagið skipaði fyri kjakinum, eftir at limir í fleiri fakfeløgum høvdu sýnt sína ónøgd við, at feløgini skipaðu fyri stórum mótmælistiltaki á Vaglinum fyrr í heyst. Kritikkurin hevur ljóðað, at hetta var at fara út um tað mandat, sum limirnir hava givið feløgunum. |
The Skippers’ and Navigators’ Association nevertheless held that the associations had gone beyond their purpose as trade unions when they organized the protest action. The chairman of the association, Eyðstein Djurhuus, maintained that the associations had begun to engage in politics to cover up that they were unable t... | BLARK_translated | Skipara– og Navigatørfelag helt kortini, at feløgini fóru út um sítt endamál sum fakfeløg, tá ið tey skipaðu fyri mótmælistiltakinum. Formaðurin í felagnum Eyðstein Djurhuus helt, at feløgini fóru farin at fattast við politikk fyri at káva út yvir, at tey ikki megnaðu at loysa sínar kjarnuuppgávur, sum t.d. sáttmálasam... |
They felt that it is a misunderstanding to say that the protest at Vagl was a political action directed against the tunnel as such. It was about defending the professional integrity of the civil servants and democratic procedures in political work. The question of whether tunnels should be built or not, or whether they... | BLARK_translated | Tey mettu, at tað er ein misskiljing, at mótmælistiltakið á Vaglinum var eitt eitt politiskt tiltak, sum varð vent móti tunlinum sum so. Tað snúði seg um at verja fakligheitina hjá embætisfólkunum og fólkaræðisligar mannagongdir í politiska arbeiðinum. Spurningurin um hvørt tunlar skulu byggjast ella ikki, ella um hesi... |
The debate meeting began with Ingolf Olsen, acting chairman of the Media Association, explaining the relationship between trade unions and politics in history and the present. | BLARK_translated | Kjakfundurin byrjaði við at Ingolf Olsen, virkandi formaður í Miðlafelagum, greiddi frá sambandinum millum fakfeløg og politikk í søgu og samtíð. |
In the discussion that followed, the union leaders agreed that if the unions are to achieve their goals, they must try to influence political parties and the political system. | BLARK_translated | Í kjakinum, sum kom aftaná, vóru fakfelagsleiðararnir samdir um, at skulu fakfeløgini røkka sínum málum, mugu tey royna at ávirka politiskar flokkar og politisku skipanina. |
However, none of them were inclined to go the same way as, for example, the LO in Norway. | BLARK_translated | Kortini var eingin teirra hugaður at ganga somu leið sum eitt nú LO í Noreg |
Although some of the associations pointed out that they are historically and in terms of objectives closest to the parties on the left wing, none of the trade union leaders was, however, inclined to enter into a formal partnership with any political party. | BLARK_translated | Hóast summi av feløgunum vístu á, at tey søguliga og í endamálsorðingum liggja næst flokkunum á vinstravonginum, so var tað kortini eingin av fakfelagsleiðarunum, sum var sinnaður at ganga í skrásett parlag við nakran politiskan flokk. |
Several of the organizations, however, pointed out that a certain cooperation with the political parties is necessary if core issues are to be advanced. But here it may be necessary to seek influence through parties across the whole political spectrum, rather than aligning with specific parties, it was said. | BLARK_translated | Fleiri av feløgunum vístu tó á, at eitt ávíst samstarv við politisku flokkarnar er neyðugt, um kjarnumál skulu fáast ígjøgnum. Men her kann tað vera neyðugt at søkja sína ávirkan gjøgnum flokkar í øllum tí politiska spektrinum, heldur enn at leggja seg uppat ávísum flokkum, varð sagt. |
In the other Nordic countries there has been, and still is to some extent, a practice that trade unions financially support the left wing, just as business supports the right wing. Ingolf Olsen, a journalist, spoke about the consequences, advantages and disadvantages for each of these at the People’s Meeting in Klaksví... | BLARK_translated | Í hinum norðurlondunum hevur verið, og er partvíst enn, siðvenja, at fakfeløg stuðla vinstravonginum fíggjarliga, eins og vinnulívið stuðlar høgravonginum. Um avleiðingar, fyrimunir og vansar fyri hvønn av hesum røddi Ingolf Olsen, journalistur, á Fólkafundinum í Klaksvík, fyri síðani at umrøða støðuna í Føroyum, sum h... |
want, while the trade unions must hold themselves back for fear of losing members, said Ingolf. | BLARK_translated | vilja, meðan fakfeløgini mugu halda seg aftur av ótta fyri at missa limir, segði Ingolf. |
Ingolf pointed to some of them. Among other things to the view of the chairman of the Danish Food Workers’ Union NNF, who thinks it is important that the unions on the left and business on the right financially support political parties, because it creates a balance in the support. And with the support comes pressure t... | BLARK_translated | Ingolf vísti á nakrar teirra. M.a. á sjónarmiðið hjá formanninum hjá danska Fødevareforbundet NNF, sum heldur tað hava týdning, at fakfeløgini vinstrumegin og vinnulívið høgrumegin stuðlað politiskum flokkum fíggjarliga, tí tað gevur javnvág í stuðlinum. Og við stuðlinum fylgir eitt trýst, sum stavar frá vandanum fyri ... |
One of the shop stewards in a union affiliated with the LO spoke harshly against the support that the LO provides and said this was an outdated practice that should be discontinued. He said the main reason was that many LO members vote on the left, and that many feel provoked at paying union dues that, among other thin... | BLARK_translated | Ein av oddamonnunum í einum limafelag hjá LO talaði harðliga at stuðlinum, sum LO letur, og helt hetta vera ein óskikk, sum tíðin er farin frá og sum tí skal avtakast. Høvuðsorsøkina segði hann vera, at verri enn so allir LO-limir atkvøða í vinstra borð, og at fleiri kenna seg provokeraði av at rinda limagjald, sum m.a... |
But nevertheless there have been — and still are — strong ties between trade unions and political parties, although these ties often cannot be compared with those in the other Nordic countries. Most often they have been informal. | BLARK_translated | Men kortini hava sterkar bindingar verið og eru tað enn millum fakfeløg og politiskar flokkar, tó at hesar bindingar ofta ikki kunnu samanberast við tær í hinum Norðurlondunum. Oftast hava tær verið óformligar. |
This new policy has not been adopted by the members of the Fishermen’s Association. Nevertheless, I would maintain that many fishermen still choose the party, though by far not in the same large proportion as before. | BLARK_translated | Hesin nýggi politikkurin er ikki vorðin adopteraður av limunum í Fiskimannafelagnum. Kortini vil eg halda, at nógvir fiskimenn enn velja flokkin, tó langt frá í sama stóra lutfalli sum fyrr. |
Another example of an — shall we call it — intangible — tie between a party and trade unions is the Workers' Union, which in 1994 was founded by | BLARK_translated | Eitt annað dømi um eina – skulu vit kalla tað immateriella – binding millum ein flokk og fakfeløg er Verkamannfylkingin, sum í 1994 varð stovnað av |
among others the then chairman of the Faroese Fishermen's Association, Óli Jacobsen, and the then chairwoman of the Faroese Workers' Association, Ingeborg Vinther. In the 1994 election both were elected to the parliament, but he later joined the government. | BLARK_translated | millum annað táverandi formanninum í Føroya Fiskimannafelag, Óla Jacobsen, og táverandi forkvinnuni í Føroya Arbeiðarafelag, Ingeborg Vinther. Á valinum í 1994 blivu bæði vald á ting, men hann fór seinni í landsstýrið. |
Óli Jacobsen said in an interview with Channel 2, when he recently turned 70, that back then, almost 20 years ago, he felt that the Social Democratic Party didn’t care about him and that he was therefore being mistreated. So he turned his back on them. | BLARK_translated | Óli Jacobsen segði í samrøðu við Rás 2, tá hann fyri stutt síðani fylti 70, at hann tá, fyri skjótt 20 árum síðani, kendi tað sum Javnaðarflokkinum ikki gav sær far um hann og hann tí var fyri vanbýti. Tí vendi hann honum bakið. |
He took leave from the chairmanship of the Fishermen’s Association while he served in the government, but Ingeborg Vinther continued as chairwoman of the Faroese Workers’ Association while she held the parliamentary seat; during that electoral term the Workers’ League was represented in the Løgting. | BLARK_translated | Hann tók farloyvi frá formanssessinum í Fiskimannafelagnum, meðan hann sat í landsstýrinum, men Ingeborg Vinther helt fram sum forkvinna í Føroya Arbeiðarafelag, meðan hon røkti tingsessin, hetta eina valskeiðið Verkamannafylkingin var umboðað á tingi. |
Although a split occurred in the Workers' Alliance, partly because Óli Jacobsen went into the government, he still believes he has achieved some significant trade union victories from this national political experiment by the trade union movement: namely the seafarers' deduction, VAT-free seafaring clothing, and the un... | BLARK_translated | Hóast split kom í Verkamannafylkingina, millum annað tí at Óli Jacobsen fór í landsstýrið, so heldur hann seg hava fingið nakrar týdningarmiklar fakfelagsligar sigrar burtur úr hesum landspolitiska eksperimentinum hjá fakfelagsrørsluni: Nevniliga sjómannafrádráttin, mvg-frí sjóklæði og arbeiðsloysisskipanina. |
Óli Jacobsen says he has never acted against his conscience — I understand this to mean that he means his trade-union conscience — in his national political activity. | BLARK_translated | Óli Jacobsen sigur seg ongantíð hava gjørt móti síni samvitsku – eg skilji tað soleiðis, at hann meinar sína fakfelagsligu samvitsku – í sínum landspolitiska virki. |
In contrast, Ingeborg Vinther found it difficult to reconcile her personal conscience and her trade union conscience with parliamentary work. | BLARK_translated | Ingeborg Vinther hevði hinvegin ilt vit at sameina sína persónligu og sína fakfelagsligu samvitsku við tingarbeiðið. |
She had turned her back on the Social Democratic Party when, after the 1990 parliamentary election — in which the party won ten seats and doubled its number of MPs — it entered a coalition with the People’s Party and carried out several cuts that were clearly unacceptable to the chairwoman of the Faroese Workers’ Assoc... | BLARK_translated | Hon hevði vent Javnaðarflokkin um bakið, tá hann eftir kanónvalið í 1990, har flokkurin fekk tíggju tinglimir og tvífaldaði tingmannatalið, fór í samgongu við Fólkaflokkin og framdi fleiri skerjingar, ið avgjørt ikki hóvaðu forkvinnuni í Føroya Arbeiðarafelag. Millum annað tók henda samgongan prístalsviðbótina av. |
So I quickly decided that national politics was not something I should continue in. | BLARK_translated | Tí gjørdi eg eisini skjótt av, at landspolitikkur ikki var nakað, eg skuldi halda fram í“ |
I guess that Óli Jacobsen was lucky to have avoided getting into the same personal conflict as Ingeborg, and had he continued to be involved in national politics and trade union politics at the same time, he would without doubt have run into such conflicts sooner or later. These examples from Faroese politics show that... | BLARK_translated | Eg giti, at Óli Jacobsen var heppin, at hann slapp undan at koma í somu persónligu konflikt sum Ingeborg, og hevði hann hildið áfram at vera í landspolitikki og fakfelagspolitikki samstundis, hevði hann uttan iva rent seg í slíkar konfliktir fyrr ella seinni. Hesi dømini úr føroyskum politikki vísa, at immateriellur po... |
The main danger is that members will leave because they don’t like the parties the union supports. This danger is somewhat smaller in the Faroe Islands than, for example, in Denmark, because there are no alternative “yellow” unions to flee to here. | BLARK_translated | Fremsti vandin er, at limir melda seg út, tí teimum ikki dámar flokkarnar, ið fakfelagið stuðlar. Hesin vandin er heldur minni í Føroyum enn eitt nú í Danmark, tí her eru ongi alternativ, „gul“ feløg at flýggja í. |
