we can all vent our anger together. Just like we curse “the politicians”. Delightfully impersonal dartboards that we can direct our anger at. Also people who themselves are publicly employed curse “the public sector”. | BLARK_translated | vit øll í felag kunnu øsa okkum um. Líka sum vit skelda um „politikararnar“. Deiliga óítøkiligar dartskivur, sum vit kunnu lata okkara vreiði ganga útyvir. Eisini fólk, sum sjálvi eru alment sett, skelda um „tað almenna“. |
Among people the idea of “the public” can be compared to a large, all-consuming and foggy animal that lies like a blanket over society. It is rigid, undynamic and above all expensive! | BLARK_translated | Millum fólk kann hugmyndin av „tí almenna“ samanberast við eitt stórt altetandi og tokukent djór, sum liggur sum ein dýna omaná samfelagnum. Tað er stirvið, ódynamiskt og mest av øllum dýrt! |

I don’t think so. Because aside from all the negative things we almost daily hear about “the public sector,” I have certainly also often encountered energetic, capable, and hardworking people there. | BLARK_translated | Eg haldi ikki. Tí umframt alt tað negativa, vit næstan dagliga hoyra um „tað almenna“, so havi eg sanniliga eisini ofta møtt røskum, dugnaligum og arbeiðssomum fólkum har. |
all the welfare services for granted. We rejoice in healthcare, school and education opportunities, the fire brigade and infrastructure. We are grateful for all these many people who daily row away from all the cultivation. | BLARK_translated | allar vælferðartænasturnar fyri givið. Vit gleðast um heilsuverk, skúla– og útbúgvingarmøguleikar, sløkkilið og infrakervi. Vit fegnast um øll hesi mongu fólkini, sum dagliga rógva av øllum alvi. |
On the other hand, I can every single month confirm that “the public sector” has once again dipped its hand into my account and taken, among other things, my overtime pay. And as a taxpayer I demand that the public sector be as good and efficient as possible so that we all get as much as possible for what we hand over.... | BLARK_translated | Hinvegin kann eg hvønn einasta mánað staðfesta, at »tað almenna« aftur hevur stungið snevilin í mína konto og tikið millum aðru– og triðjuhvørja tímaløn. Og sum skattgjaldari krevji eg, at tað almenna skal vera so gott og effektivt sum gjørligt, soleiðis at vit øll fáa sum mest fyri tað, vit lata. Eg vil hava tann alme... |
Perhaps the solution is a mixture of everything. In any case, we must dare to reassess and discuss “the public.” We must dare to free ourselves from what daily causes the public vessel to lose – and causes people to become angry. We must dare to act so that the public vessel wins. | BLARK_translated | Kanska er loysnin ein blandingur av øllum. Vit mugu í øllum førum tora at endurskoða og umrøða »Tað almenna«. Vit mugu tora at sleppa okkum undan tí, sum dagliga ger, at almenni báturin tapir – og at fólk ilskast. Vit mugu tora at handla, soleiðis at almenni báturin vinnur. |
This publicly approved difference between the public and the private bothers me. I demand the same prompt crew that the private ones claim to have. I want to see the public boat win! | BLARK_translated | Hesin alment góðtikni munurin á teimum almennu og teimum privatu órógvar meg. Eg krevji eina eins raska manning, sum tey privatu siga seg hava. Eg vil síggja tann almenna bátin vinna! |
I am convinced that it can be done. It just needs to be organized and managed properly. | BLARK_translated | Eg eri sannførd um, at tað letur seg gera. Her skal bara skipast og stýrast rætt. |
Of the 29 countries in Europe, 26 have minimum wage schemes set by law, to a greater or lesser extent. Either through direct legislation, or through agreements that have been made mandatory by law to apply to the entire sector. Thus there are only three countries where the wage today – as in the Faroe Islands – is inst... | BLARK_translated | Av 29 statum í Evropa hava 26 ásett minstulønarskipanir við lóg, í størri ella minni mun. Antin gjøgnum beinleiðis lóg, ella við sáttmálum, sum eru blivnir ásettir við lóg at galda fyri alla bransjuna. Sostatt eru tað bert tríggir statir, har lønin í dag – eins og í Føroyum – burturav verður ásett við sáttmálum í samrá... |
At the same time as the liberalized agreement system has come under pressure, the EU Court of Justice has set a course saying that industrial action must not be so extensive that it prevents the movement of labour across EU borders. That means that trade unions, for example, must not use trade blockades to force foreig... | BLARK_translated | Samstundis sum frælsa avtaluskipanin er komin undir trýst, hevur ES-dómstólurin sett eina kós, sum sigur, at faklig stríðsstig ikki mugu vera so víðgongd, at tey forða arbeiðsmegi at fara um ES-mørk. Tað merkir, at fakfeløgini t.d. ikki mugu nýta fakligar blokadur fyri at tvinga útlendsk feløg at ganga undir sáttmálarn... |
Roger Andersen, how does he assess the political positioning that is taking place in the European labor market? | BLARK_translated | Roger Andersen, hvussu hann metir politisku uppíleggingina, sum fer fram á evropeiska arbeiðsmarknaðinum? |
This is a fundamental question. What characterizes the Nordic trade union system is the tripartite cooperation between employers, employees and authorities. The authorities set the conditions for the welfare society, while employers and employees determine wages and working conditions through mutual negotiations. In No... | BLARK_translated | Hetta er ein grundleggjandi spurningur. Tað, sum eyðkennir norðurlendsku fakfelagsskipanina er trípartasamstarvið millum arbeiðsgevarar, arbeiðstakarar og myndugleikar. Myndugleikarnir áseta fortreytirnar fyri vælferðarsamfelagið, meðan arbeiðsgevarar og arbeiðstakarar áseta lønar– og arbeiðskor í sínámillum samráðingu... |
But this system is constantly under pressure, because there are strong forces that want to set the minimum wage by law. | BLARK_translated | Men hendan skipan er alla tíðina undir trýsti, tí tað eru sterkar kreftir, sum vilja áseta minstulønina við lóg. |
the labour market. But fundamentally, it is a serious matter when forces on the political right in Europe weigh in on the question of the minimum wage. | BLARK_translated | arbeiðsmarknaðinum. Men grundleggjandi er, at tað er álvarsmál, tá ið kreftir á høgraveinginum í Evropa leggja seg út í spurningin um minstulønina. |
If minimum wage standards are established by law, you limit the union movement’s and the workers’ side’s opportunities to negotiate wages with employers. The desire is understandable in a time of crisis, but it cannot be accepted at all given the role and position the trade union movement has had as the employees’ inte... | BLARK_translated | Verða minstulønarstandardir ásettir við lóg, skerjir tú møguleikarnar hjá fakfelagsrørsluni og arbeiðstakarasíðuni at samráðast um løn við arbeiðsgevararnar. Ynskið er skilligt í eini krepputíð, men tað kann als ikki góðtakast út frá teirri proffessión og teirri støðu, sum fakfelagsrørlan hevur havt sum áhugafelagsskap... |
Won't the threat of social dumping lead to Norway, Denmark and the Faroe Islands sooner or later being forced to set a minimum wage by law? | BLARK_translated | Vil hóttanin um sosiala dumping ikki gera, at bæði Norra, Danmark og Føroyar fyrr ella seinni verða noydd at áseta minstuløn við lóg? |
That is a good question. Social dumping does occur, of course. But the solution to this problem is not to encroach on the basic principle that wages, tariff and working conditions are matters to be resolved through negotiations between employers and employees. The Nordic collective bargaining system is a matter of prin... | BLARK_translated | Tað er ein góður spurningur. Sosial dumping fer fram, vist so. Men loysnin á hesum trupulleikanum er ikki at gera seg inn á grundregluna um, at at lønar, tariff– og arbeiðskor eru mál, sum skulu loysast í samráðingum millum arbeiðsgevarar og arbeiðstakarar. Norðurlendska avtaluskipanin er eitt prinsippmál fyri norðurle... |
But doesn't the social dumping taking place in the Nordic countries indicate that the free contractual system doesn't work well enough? | BLARK_translated | Men bendir tann sosiala dumpingin, sum fer fram í Norðurlondum, ikki á, at frælsa avtaluskipanin virkar ikki nóg væl? |
The short of the long is that the Nordic agreement system works because employers and employees share a common foundation, enabling them to handle potential actors who engage in social dumping. But of course the challenges are significant. | BLARK_translated | Tað stutta av tí langa er, at norðurlendska avtaluskipanin virkar, tí at arbeiðsgevarar og arbeiðstakarar hava eitt felags fundament, so at teir kunnu takla møguligar aktørar, ið fremja sosiala dumping. Men sjálvsagt eru avbjóðingarnar stórar. |
Does the case represent? Doesn't this pull the teeth a bit out of the trade unions and the Nordic system? | BLARK_translated | málið umboðar? Hevur hetta ikki trekt tenninar eitt sindur úr fakfeløgunum og norðurlendsku skipanini? |
If we take the Laval and Luxembourg judgments and other rulings from the EU Court of Justice, we are talking about judgments that reflect a political direction in Europe. And that is a challenge for the European trade union movement. | BLARK_translated | Taka vit Laval– og Luxembourgdómarnar og aðrar dómar frá ES-dómstólinum, so er talan um dómarar, sum avspegla eitt politiskt stýri í Evropa. Og tað er ein avbjóðing fyri evropeisku fakfelagsrørsluna. |
That is an extremely good question. What the European trade union movement and we in the Nordic countries have always tried to do is to secure our position as trade unions and to carry out the mobilization measures that are necessary. | BLARK_translated | Tað er ein øgiliga góður spurningur. Tað, sum evropeiska fakfelagsrørslan og vit í norðurlondum alla tíðina royna at gera er, at tryggja støðu okkara sum fakfeløg og at gera tey mobiliseringsátøk, sum eru neyðug. |
The trend we see is that the EU and EEA areas are increasingly being shaped by the political movements that prevail there. If you take the major unionists – Cameron in Britain and Merkel in Germany – and the bourgeois governments in Sweden and Norway, they together represent a challenge to the trade union movement. And... | BLARK_translated | Rákið, vit síggja er, at ES og EBS-økini í alt størri mun verða merkt at teimum politisku rørslum, sum ráða har. Tekur tú teir stóru sameindu – Cameron í Bretlandi og Merkel í Týsklandi – og tær borgarligu stjórnirnar í Svøríki og Norra, so eru tey tilsamans ein avbjóðing fyri fakfelagsrørsluna. Og tað fakfelagsrørslan... |
And in this connection there are two choices in total. You can choose to be principled and ideological and insist that questions about wages and work are a matter for the parties in the labor market according to the Nordic model. This is an inviolable principle for us who work within the Nordic trade union movement. If... | BLARK_translated | Og í hesum sambandi eru tvey í alt velja. Tú kanst velja at vera prinsipfastur og ideologiskur og tvíhalda um, at spurningar um løn og arbeiði er eitt mál fyri partarnar á arbeiðsmarknaðinum eftir norðurlendskum leisti. Hetta er eitt ófrávíkiligt prinsipp fyri okkum, sum arbeiða innan norðurlendsku fakfelagsrørsluna. G... |
Do you feel so convinced that the North Atlantic treaty system is going to fall apart? –In principle it will collapse–. But in realpolitik it will be organized a little differently. | BLARK_translated | Kennir tú teg so sannførdan um at norð- urlendska avtaluskipanin fer at hóra undan? –Honferathóraundan–í prinsippinum. Men realpolitisk fer hon at verða skipað eitt sindur øðrvísi. |
If we take my father, he was a worker in the iron industry many years ago. He was part of a Norwegian industrial movement and somehow a representative of the proletariat after the war. Nowadays a worker is many other things. It is not just the fisherman, but also the teacher, people in the service industries and people... | BLARK_translated | Um vit taka pápa mín, so var hann arbeiðsmaður í jarnídnaðinum fyri nógvum árum síðani. Hann var partur av norskari ídnaðargerð og onkursvegna umboðandi fyri proletariatið eftir kríggið. Nú á døgum er ein arbeiðari so mangt annað. Tað er ikki bara fiskimaðurin, men eisini lærarin, fólk í tænastuvinnuni og fólk, sum sta... |
The Nordic system will begin to give way, but it will face challenges from various sides, and it will be modernized in different areas. | BLARK_translated | Norðurlendska skipanin fer at hóra undan, men hon fer at fáa avbjóðingar frá ymsum síðum, og hon fer at verða nútímansgjørd á ymiskum økjum. |
One challenge for many trade unions in the Nordic countries is that many members leave the unions. They are unable to see the benefits or perhaps join unions that do not have collective bargaining rights and that offer cheaper membership. Is this a big problem? | BLARK_translated | Ein avbjóðing hjá nógvum fakfeløgum í Norðurlondum er at nógvir limir taka seg úr feløgunum. Tey duga ikki at síggja fyrimunirnar ella fara kanska uppí feløg, sum ikki hava samráðingarrætt og sum bjóða bíligari limaskap. Er hetta ein stórur trupulleiki? |
But indirectly the trade union movement has at the same time begun to cut off a little of the branch it was sitting on. Because on the other hand | BLARK_translated | Men óbeinleiðis er fakfelagsrørslan samstundis komin at saga greinina eitt sindur av, sum hon sat á. Tí øðrumegin |
