We have been very busy taking care of the interests of the working people, but at the same time we have been concerned that our children and grandchildren should receive an education and move on. It is this cultural shift that I think the trade union movement has not taken seriously enough. | BLARK_translated | hava vit verið øgiliga upptikin av at røkja áhugamálini hjá tí arbeiðandi fólkinum, men samstundis hava vit verið upptikin av, at børn og ommu- og abbabørn okkara skuldu fá eina útbúgving og koma víðari. Tað er hetta mentanarliga umskiftið, sum eg haldi, at fakfelagsrørslan ikki hevur tikið í nóg stórum álvara. |
It is a very great challenge to get the message about the union out so that we can reach new groups of workers. But I believe it is very important that those young workers in particular organize themselves, because the labour market nowadays is much more insecure than it used to be. It is easier to be dismissed. Tempor... | BLARK_translated | Tað er ein ógvuliga stór avbjóðing at fáa boðskapin um felagið út, so at vit kunnu røkka nýggjum bólkum av arbeiðstakarum. Men eg haldi, at tað er so sera týdningarmikið at júst teir ungu arbeiðstakararnir skipa seg, tí arbeiðsmarknaðurin nú á døgum er nógv meira óútrokniligur, enn hann var fyrr. Tað er lættari at blív... |
All in all, this means that both politically and individually there is a much greater need to organize collectively. But I think these people are not sufficiently aware of that. | BLARK_translated | Alt í alt ger hettar, at tað bæði politiskt og individuelt sæð, er ein nógv størri tørvur at skipa seg í felag. Men eg haldi, at hetta eru fólk nokk ikki greið yvir. |
Yes, certainly. If I draw a European parallel, I believe there is no doubt that the need for trade unions has never been greater than now. In the 1930s there were proportionally fewer unemployed than there are today. It was a time with Nazism, Communism and Fascism. Grand ideologies that ended with the Holocaust and Wo... | BLARK_translated | Jú, so avgjørt. Skal eg draga ein evropeiskan paralell, so haldi eg, at tað er eingin ivi um, at tørvurin á fakfeløgum hevur ongantíð verið størri enn nú. Í 30unum vóru lutfalsliga færri arbeiðsleys enn tað eru í dag. Tað var ein tíð við nazismu, kommunismu og fasismu. Víðgongdum hugsjónum, sum endaðu við holocaust og... |
an actor capable of dealing with the challenges that will arise of an emotional or social nature — in the wake of the financial crisis. | BLARK_translated | ein aktørur, sum megnar at taka við teimum avbjóðingum, sum fara at koma av emotionellum ella sosialum slagi – í kjalavørrinum á fíggjarkreppuni. |
Also in our century there are several examples that the trade union movement has proven | BLARK_translated | Eisini í okkara øld eru fleiri dømi um, at fakfelagsrørslan hevur prógvað |
their role when it comes to resolving crises. Both in Syria and in Tunisia the trade union movement has stepped in as an actor to find solutions. We see the same in Egypt. | BLARK_translated | sín leiklut, tá ið umræður at loysa kreppur. Bæði í Sýria og í Tunesia er fakfelagsrørslan farin inn sum aktørur at finna loysnir. Tað sama síggja vit í Egyptalandi. |
I am not saying that this is always the case, but I am saying that the trade union movement as an actor has a fundamentally important role in civil society when it comes to resolving crises and creating peace. Therefore the trade unions still have a role, also in our part of the world, even though our conflicts are not... | BLARK_translated | Eg sigið ikki, at tað altíð er so, men eg sigið, at fakfelagsrørslan sum aktørur hevur ein heilt grundleggjandi leiklut í tí sivila samfelagnum, tá umræður at loysa kreppur og skapa frið. Tí hava fakfeløgini framvegis ein leiklut, eisini í okkara parti av heiminum, hóast konfliktirnar hjá okkum ikki eru so ógvusligar s... |
Yes, and that applies both to the Faroe Islands, your union and the union I myself work for. If we take the trade union movement in the Faroe Islands, Norway and the Nordic countries as a whole, it has been a very central player when it comes to resolving problems and conflicts. That has been the case for the past 50–6... | BLARK_translated | Jú, og tað er bæði galdandi fyri Føroyar, tykkara fakfelag og fakfelagið, sum eg sjálvur arbeiði fyri. Um vit taka fakfelagsrørsluna í Føroyum, Norra og Norðurlondum sum heild, so hevur hon verið ein ógvuliga sentralur leikari, tá talan er um at loysa trupulleikar og konfliktir. Soleiðis hevur tað verið tey seinastu 50... |
Thus, both in the work of expanding the welfare society, in safeguarding democracy and in creating peace and resolving crises, the trade union movement has overall been indispensable, but it must be done with a course that aims outward into work – because all studies show that the longer you are unemployed, the harder ... | BLARK_translated | So bæði í arbeiðinum at útbyggja vælferðarsamfelagið, at tryggja fólkaræðið og at skapa frið og loysa kreppur hevur fakfelagsrørslan samanumtikið verið ófør men tað má gerast við eini kós, ið miðar útaftur í arbeiði – tí allar kanningar vísa, at tess longri tú ert arbeiðsleysur, tess verri er aftur at gerast partur av ... |
The case concerned the Latvian construction company Laval, which carried out work in Sweden. Swedish trade unions blocked the activity to force the company to sign a collective agreement and to prevent social dumping. The case ended up before the EU Court of Justice in Luxembourg, which issued a ruling in 2007. | BLARK_translated | Málið snúði seg um lettisku byggifyritøkuna Laval, sum gjørdi eitt arbeiði í Svøríki. Svensk fakfeløg blokeraðu virksemið fyri at fáa fyritøkuna at gera sáttmála og forða fyri sosialari dumping. Málið endaði fyri ES-dómstólinum í Luksemborg, sum feldi dóm í 2007. |
The court confirmed that the blockade was in conflict with EU law, since it was a restriction on the right to provide services freely across EU borders, and there was not enough at stake for the state of conflict to be justified. | BLARK_translated | Dómurin staðfesti, at blokadan var í stríð við ES-lóggávuna, við tað at hetta var ein avmarking í rættinum at flyta tænastur frítt um ES-mørk og at tað stóð ikki so nógv uppá spæl, at stríðsstigini kundu rættvísgerast. |
Therefore it came as a relief for the trade union movement in Europe and the Nordic countries when the Council of Europe last year confirmed that Laval is in violation of the Social Charter of the Council of Europe. | BLARK_translated | Tískil kom tað sum ein lætti fyri fakfelagsrørsluna í Evropa og Norðurlondum, tá Evroparáðið í fjør staðfesti, at Laval er í stríð við Sosiala Sáttmálan hjá Evropa-ráðnum. |
The Council of Europe’s Social Committee, which is based on the European Convention on Human Rights, says that countries should follow the Social Charter and not the EU Court of Justice. | BLARK_translated | Sosiala nevndin hjá Evroparáðnum, sum varar av mannarættindasáttmálanum, sigur, at londini skulu fylgja Sosiala Sáttmálanum og ikki ES-dómstólinum. |
Better to do something rather than absolutely nothing, but it must be done with a course aimed at getting back into work — because all research shows that the longer you are unemployed, the harder it is to become part of the labor market again. | BLARK_translated | Heldur gera okkUrt enn púrt EINKI, men tað má gerast við eini kós, ið miðar útaftur í arbeiði – tí allar kanningar vísa, at tess longri tú ert arbeiðsleysur, tess verri er aftur at gerast partur av arbeiðsmarknaðinum. |
Høgni í Stórustovu emphasizes that the courses and projects that ALS has to offer focus on skills development as well as personal development, so that people are as well prepared as possible to take responsibility for successfully getting back into work. | BLARK_translated | Høgni í Stórustovu leggur dent á, at tey skeið og tær verkætlanir, sum ALS hevur at bjóðað, snúgva seg um førleikamenning eins og persónliga menning, soleiðis at fólk eru best møguliga fyri at bera ábyrgdina av at eydnast við at fáa arbeiði aftur. |
Some of these offers are the projects to collect and organize | BLARK_translated | Nøkur av hesum tilboðum eru verkætlanirnar við at savna og hagreiða |
Every tenth client at ALS has a medical certificate indicating some health limitation. It may be a bad back from heavy work, hypersensitivity, or something else. This creates certain restrictions on taking on work, and therefore there is a plan to organize targeted assessment and training to provide people who have pot... | BLARK_translated | Tíggjundahvørt viðskiftafólk hjá ALS hevur eina læknaváttan, sum boðar frá onkrari heilsuligari avmarking. Kann vera vánaligur ryggur av tungum arbeiði, ovurviðkvæmi ella okkurt annað. Hetta skapar ávísar avmarkingar fyri at átaka sær arbeiði, og tí er ein ætlan at skipa fyri miðvísari kanning og venjing fyri at geva f... |
ALS has now begun to shed light on unemployment, its impact on people and perceptions, realities and possibilities in this context: What does it mean to be unemployed? Høgni í Stórustovu says that everyone who currently has a job is at risk of losing it and what that entails. Therefore the latest initiative by the unem... | BLARK_translated | ALS er nú farið undir at varpa ljós á arbeiðsloysi, ávirkan á fólk og fatanir, veruleikar og møguleikar í hesum sambandi: Hvat ber tað í sær at vera arbeiðsleysur?

Ólavur Jøkladal accepted the offer that ALS had made him, which helped him get a permanent job. | BLARK_translated | Ólavur Jøkladal letur væl at teimum tilboðum, sum ALS hevði at bjóðað honum, og sum hjálpti honum í fast starv. |
After this he, together with his family, went to do relief work in the Philippines, where they stayed for three years. | BLARK_translated | Eftir hetta fór hann fór hann, saman við familjuni, í hjálpararbeiði á Filipinunum, har tey vóru í trý ár. |
I was still hoping to get a job and one day it succeeded. It happened after one of the employees at ALS had taken part in a public health survey and there asked Pál Weihe if he would consider taking someone in for work practice. Yes, he would, and I got the opportunity. The position includes, among other things, some c... | BLARK_translated | Eg vildi framvegis fegin fáa eitt starv og ein dagin eydnaðist tað. Tað hendi eftir, at eitt av starvsfólkunum hjá ALS hevði luttikið í eini fólkaheilsukanning, og har spurt Pál Weihe, um hann ikki kundi hugsað sær at tikið onkran í starvsvenjing. Jú tað vildi hann, og eg fekk møguleikan. Starvið ber í sær m.a. nakað a... |

When the time in the greenhouse was up, Kirstin was offered a period of one or two days. It was something they called a “personal navigator,” which Jan Willemoes considered to be ALS. | BLARK_translated | Tá tíðin í vakstrarhúsinum var av, stóð Kirstini eitt tvey daga skeið í boði. Eitt seið tey nevndu „Personal navigater“, sum Jan Willemoes helt fyri ALS. |
It was, however, rather difficult to get a suitable job then. There were few job postings and not many applicants, especially bank employees, Kirstin explains, who was lucky enough to get into yet another course. This time one for entrepreneurs, which ALS had gotten Rana Nolsøe to run. Very exciting and rewarding, beca... | BLARK_translated | Tað var tó heldur torført at fáa eitt hóskandi starv tá. Fáar vóru starvslýsingarnar og umsøkjararnir nógvir, ikki minst bankafólk, greiðir Kirstin frá, sum var so mikið heppin at koma á enn eitt skeið. Hesaferð eitt fyri íverksetarar, sum ALS hevði fingið Rana Nolsøe at hava. Sera spennandi og gevandi, tí enn hevði eg... |
The good advice that Kirstin is happy to give to others who are in the same situation she was in is to take advantage of the offers that ALS provides. Even if the offer at first glance does not seem to lead directly to a permanent job. Not least the courses that aim at personal development. These courses have helped he... | BLARK_translated | Góðu ráðini, sum Kirstin fegin vil geva øðrum, sum eru í somu støðu sum hon var, eru at taka av tilboðum, sum ALS bjóðar.

Hesi skeið hava hjálpt henni, og hjálpa ei... |
A year ago the Ministry of Finance announced in a new circular that the retirement age for public employees remains 70 years, but that public employers can now also choose to extend the employment of employees who have turned 70 for a limited period. They can do this as often as they like, and therefore there is no lon... | BLARK_translated | Fyri einum ári síðani kunngjørdi Fíggjarmálaráðið í einum nýggjum rundskrivi, at fráfaringaraldurin hjá almennum starvsfólki framvegis er 70 ár, men at almennir arbeiðsgevarar nú eisini kunnu velja at leingja setanina hjá starvsfólkum, ið eru fylt 70 ár, í eitt avmarkað tíðarskeið. Hetta kunnu teir gera so ofta, teir v... |
turned 70. But most municipalities insist that the retirement age should be 67 years. In several municipalities, however, employees can apply to continue working after turning 67. | BLARK_translated | fylt 70. Men tær flestu kommunurnar halda fast við, at fráfaringaraldurin skal vera 67 ár. Í fleiri kommunum kunnu starvsfólk tó søkja um at halda fram at arbeiða eftir at verða fylt 67. |
In Tórshavn Municipality, which is by far the largest municipality in the country and has about 1,400 employees, the city council has decided that the retirement age will be 70. However, people in managerial positions must give way to younger forces when they turn 67, and will instead be transferred to another position... | BLARK_translated | Í Tórshavnar kommunu, ið er nógv størsta kommunan í landinum og hevur umleið 1400 fólk í starvi, hevur býráðið samtykt, at fráfaringaraldurin skal vera 70 ár. Fólk í leiðandi størvum skulu tó víkja fyri yngri kreftum, tá tey fylla 67 ár, og verða í staðin flutt í annað starv í kommununi. Í serligum føri kunnu fólk eisi... |
In the second-largest municipality, Klaksvík Municipality, people are not allowed to work as long as in Tórshavn Municipality. In Klaksvík the town council has | BLARK_translated | Í næststørstu kommununi, Klaksvíkar kommunu, sleppa fólk ikki at arbeiða so leingi sum í Tórshavnar kommunu. Í Klaksvík hevur býráðið |
In the Tvøroyri municipality, on the other hand, it is strictly set. The retirement age there is 67 years, and no one is allowed to continue any longer than that. | BLARK_translated | Í Tvøroyrar kommuna er hinvegin knívskorið. Har er fráfaringaraldurin 67 ár, og eingin sleppur at halda fram longur enn tað. |
Of the fifteen largest municipalities in the country, ten have chosen 67 years as the retirement age. Six of those ten that have 67 as the retirement age allow exceptions, so people can apply to be allowed to work longer. | BLARK_translated | Av teimum fimtan størstu kommununum í landinum hava tíggju valt 67 ár sum fráfaringaraldur. Seks av teimum tíggju, ið hava 67 ár sum fráfaringaraldur, geva møguleika fyri fráviki, so fólk kunnu søkja um at sleppa at arbeiða longri. |
Of the fifteen largest municipalities, six municipalities have no fixed retirement age. Two of them plan to introduce a fixed system, while the other four do not consider they need rules in this area. | BLARK_translated | Av teimum fimtan størstu kommununum eru seks kommunur, ið ongan fastan fráfaringaraldur hava. Tvær teirra hava ætlanir um at fáa eina fasta skipan, meðan hinar fýra ikki halda seg hava tørv á leiðreglum á økinum. |
It was sort of in the air that I was supposed to do it. Otherwise I would have been fired, and then I might as well do it myself, she says. | BLARK_translated | Tað lá líkasum í luftini, at tað skuldi eg gera. Annars hevði eg verið uppsøgd, og so kundi eg eins væl gera tað sjálv, sigur hon. |
Óluva knew that employees of the state do not retire due to age until they are 70 years old. She inquired and learned that this did not apply to the municipalities. | BLARK_translated | Óluva visti, at starvsfólk hjá landinum ikki fara frá fyri aldur, fyrrenn tey eru 70 ár. Hon spurdi seg fyri og fekk at vita, at hetta ikki var galdandi fyri kommunurnar. |
I think that municipal employees should have the same opportunity. I myself would not have taken it, because I think I have worked enough, but I would have liked to have had the choice, she says. | BLARK_translated | Eg haldi, at starvsfólk hjá kommununum áttu at havt sama møguleika. Eg hevði ikki sjálv tikið av, tí eg haldi meg hava arbeitt nóg nógv, men eg hevði vilja havt valið, sigur hon. |
Óluva is a trained business economist in accounting and has worked in the administration of the Tvøroyri municipality for 20 years. In total he has worked for more than 50 years in offices in Tvøroyri, in Tórshavn and also down in Denmark. | BLARK_translated | Óluva er útbúgvin merkonomur í roknskapi og hevur arbeitt í fyrisitingini hjá Tvøroyrar kommunu í 20 ár. Tilsamans hevur hann arbeitt í meira enn 50 ár á skrivstovum á Tvøroyri, í Havn og eisini niðri í Danmark. |
I could have chosen to receive the pension as a regular payment. It worked out better to get it all paid out, but of course now I have to be careful about how I spend the money, she says. | BLARK_translated | Eg kundi valt at fingið eftirlønina leypandi. Tað loysti seg betur at fáa alt útgoldið, men nú má eg sjálvandi ansa eftir, hvussu eg brúki pengarnar, sigur hon. |
She and the man nevertheless allowed themselves to go on a cruise in the Mediterranean when she stopped working. | BLARK_translated | Hon og maðurin loyvdu sær tó at fara á eina cruise-ferð í Miðalhavinum, tá hon gavst at arbeiða. |
I want to enjoy life while I can. It’s not worth postponing something you’ve intended to do, because nobody knows how long they’ll have the strength. And now we have experienced something we can talk about for years, she says. | BLARK_translated | Eg vil njóta lívið, meðan eg kann. Tað loysir seg ikki at útseta nakað, sum man hevur ætlað sær, tí eingin veit, hvussu leingi man orkar. Og nú hava vit upplivað nakað, sum vit kunnu tosa um í fleiri ár, sigur hon. |
I have an easy and pleasant job that I can manage and handle. I have the advantage that I myself can choose what I want to do, and it is not necessary for me to get into the latest technology in smartphones and the like, he says. | BLARK_translated | Eg havi eitt lætt og dámligt arbeiði, sum eg yvirkomið og klári. Eg havi tann fyrimunin, at eg sjálvur kann velja, hvat eg vil gera, og tað er ikki neyðugt hjá mær at seta meg inn í ta nýggjastu tøknina innan snildfonir og líknandi, sigur hann. |
Few have as long experience with the computer system in the Faroe Islands as Petur Rouch. For most of his roughly fifty years of work he has worked with the computer system in the public administration, and he has also at one time run his own IT company together with others. | BLARK_translated | Fáur hevur so drúgvar royndir við telduskipanum í Føroyum, sum Petur Rouch. Tey flestu av sínum umleið hálvthundrað arbeiðsárum hevur hann arbeitt við telduskipanum í almennu fyrisitingini, og hann hevur eisini eitt skifti havt egna KT-fyritøku saman við øðrum. |
I started working with the computer system in 1967. At that time there were two computers | BLARK_translated | Eg byrjaði at arbeiða við telduskipanum í 1967. Tá vóru tvær teldur |
Petur Rouch has, however, also been involved in things other than computer systems. He has a great interest in music and has for several years hosted music programs on the radio. | BLARK_translated | Petur Rouch hevur tó eisini fingist við annað enn telduskipanir. Hann hevur stóran áhuga fyri tónleiki og hevur í fleiri ár havt tónleikasendingar í Útvarpinum. |
The radio broadcasts have mostly been a leisure activity that has added more color to life. But now I have started to spend more time on the broadcasts, and I like that very much, he says. | BLARK_translated | Útvarpssendingarnar hava mest verið eitt frítíðarítriv, sum hevur givið tilveruni meira lit. Men nú eri eg farin at brúka meira tíð uppá sendingarnar, og tað dámar mær sera væl, sigur hann. |
I want to have time to enjoy life a little more. I have nothing against working, but when you've worked on the same thing for many years, you also need other meaning in your existence, he says. | BLARK_translated | Eg vil hava tíð at njóta lívið eitt sindur meira. Eg havi einki ímóti at arbeiða, men tá tú hevur arbeitt við tí sama í nógv ár, so hevur tú tørv á øðrum innihaldi í tilveruni eisini, sigur hann. |
He does not deny that it is also of great financial importance for him to continue working. | BLARK_translated | Hann dylur ikki fyri, at tað eisini hevur stóran fíggjarligan týdning fyri seg at halda fram at arbeiða. |
I have to change my way of life, because I get much less to live on. I receive a lump‑sum pension paid out at once, and then I have to manage on the state pension and housing allowance, he says. | BLARK_translated | noyðist eg at broyta livihátt, tí eg fái nógv minni at liva av. Eg fái eina kapitaleftirløn útgoldna í einum, og síðani má eg klára meg við fólkapensjón og samhaldsfasta, sigur hann. |
In the Faroe Islands there is no law on retirement age, but the Ministry of Finance has decided in a circular that the retirement age for public employees shall be 70 years. The circular is binding for government agencies, but municipalities and municipal associations govern themselves, and most of them have made their... | BLARK_translated | Í Føroyum er eingin lóg um fráfaringaraldur, men Fíggjarmálaráðið hevur í einum rundskrivi gjørt av, at fráfaringaraldurin hjá almennum starvsfólkum skal vera 70 ár. Rundskrivið er bindandi fyri landsstovnar, men kommunur og kommunalir felagsskapir ráða sær sjálvum, og flestu teirra hava gjørt egnar reglugerðir um, nær... |
because the association believed that this was in conflict with the European Convention on Human Rights, which the Faroe Islands have signed and which therefore also applies in the Faroe Islands. | BLARK_translated | tí felagið helt, at hetta var í stríð við Evropeiska Mannarættindasáttmálan, ið Føroyar hava undirskrivað, og sum tí eisini er galdandi í Føroyum. |
Under the European Convention on Human Rights it is prohibited to discriminate against people on grounds including age, which means that an employer is not allowed to use age as a justification when dismissing people from a job. | BLARK_translated | Eftir Evropeiska Mannarættindasáttmálanum er bannað at diskriminera fólk vegna m.a. aldur, og tað merkir, at ein arbeiðsgevari ikki hevur loyvi at brúka aldur sum grundgeving, tá hann sigur fólki úr starvi. |
But the ECJ has also ruled that it is acceptable to have an employment policy that sets a fixed retirement age, provided people have the possibility of obtaining a pension when they are dismissed. In the Faroe Islands, public-sector employees, like everyone else, can receive the state pension when they turn 67, and the... | BLARK_translated | Men ES-dómstólurin hevur eisini gjørt av, at tað er í lagi at hava ein starvsfólkapolitikk, sum ásetir ein fastan fráfaringaraldur, um fólk hava møguleika at fáa pensjón, tá tey verða søgd úr starvi. Í Føroyum kunnu starvsfólk hjá tí almenna eins og øll onnur fáa fólkapensjón, tá tey fylla 67, og tí er tað |
According to the European Court of Justice, it is not in conflict with European human rights to set 67 as the retirement age. | BLARK_translated | sambært ES-dómstólinum ikki í stríð við evropeisk mannarættindi at áseta 67 ár sum fráfaringaraldur. |
It is surprising that the state and municipalities do not have the same retirement age, and it is also surprising that all municipalities do not have the same retirement age. But it is — probably — not illegal, says Sigmund Poulsen. | BLARK_translated | Tað er undrunarvert, at land og kommunur ikki hava sama fráfaringaraldur, og tað er eisini undrunarvert, at allar kommunur ikki hava sama fráfaringaraldur. Men tað er – helst – ikki ólógligt, sigur Sigmund Poulsen. |
The new law ties the personal pension to the public pension. If people want to delay receiving the personal pension, they must also postpone the state pension. | BLARK_translated | Nýggja lógin knýtir persónligu eftirlønina at almennu pensjónini. Vilja fólk bíða við at fáa persónligu eftirlønina, so noyðast tey eisini at útseta fólkapensjónina. |
People should be allowed to work as long as they have the desire and ability. Age should not be a valid reason for employers to dismiss people. That is the view of Arne Thorsteinsson, who is chairman of the National Association of Pensioners. | BLARK_translated | Fólk skulu hava loyvi at arbeiða so leingi, tey hava hug og evnir. Aldur eigur ikki at vera ein haldgóð grundgeving hjá arbeiðsgevarum at siga fólki úr starvi. Tað heldur Arne Thorsteinsson, ið er formaður í Landsfelag Pensjónista. |
This is age discrimination. People themselves know best when they no longer have the energy to work. And it is of great importance to the individual that he himself is allowed to arrange his life, also when it concerns when he should stop working, says the chairman of the National Pensioners' Association, Arne Thorstei... | BLARK_translated | Hetta er aldursdiskriminasjón. Fólk vita best sjálvi, nær tey ikki orka at arbeiða longur. Og tað hevur stóran týdning fyri tann einstaka, at hann sjálvur sleppur at tilrættisleggja sítt lív, eisini tá tað snýr seg um, nær hann skal gevast at arbeiða, sigur formaðurin í Landsfelag Pensjónista, Arne Thorsteinsson. |
It is the employer's responsibility to assess the abilities of the employees. If an employee is no longer able to perform their work, this is a valid ground for dismissal. But that an employee has a certain age, | BLARK_translated | Tað er uppgávan hjá arbeiðsgevaranum at meta um førleikarnar hjá starvsfólkunum. Um eitt starvsfólk ikki longur megnar sítt arbeiði, so er hetta ein haldgóð uppsagnargrund. Men at eitt starvsfólk hevur ein ávísan aldur, |
says nothing about workability, and therefore it should not be a justification for removing a person from their position, he says. | BLARK_translated | sigur einki um arbeiðsførleikan, og tað eigur tí ikki at vera ein grundgeving fyri at siga eitt fólk úr starvi, sigur hann. |
Arne Thorsteinsson believes that employers should avoid their responsibilities by having a fixed retirement age. | BLARK_translated | Arne Thorsteinsson heldur, at arbeiðsgevarar skulka sær undan síni ábyrgd við at hava ein fastan fráfaringaraldur. |
This is a way for employers to sneak out of their duty to assess the abilities of employees. It is a task that can be difficult, but which public managers are paid well to perform, he says. | BLARK_translated | Hetta er ein máti hjá arbeiðsgevarum at smoyggja sær undan skyldu síni at meta um førleikan hjá starvsfólkunum. Tað er ein uppgávu, ið kann vera trupul, men sum almennir stjórar fáa góða løn fyri at røkja, sigur hann. |
The state pension and the payment from the Samhaldsfasta are a right we have, and which we have been promised we will receive when we turn 67 years old. But that does not mean that we must stop working when we turn 67. Many are well off and would gladly work longer, and for many it is also very important to be able to ... | BLARK_translated | Fólkapensiónin og útgjaldið úr Samhaldsfasta er ein rættur, vit hava, og sum vit hava fingið lyfti um, at vit skulu fáa, tá vit fylla 67 ár. Men tað merkir ikki, at vit skulu gevast at arbeiða, tá vit verða 67. Nógv eru væl fyri og vilja fegin arbeiða longur, og fyri nógv hevur tað eisini stóran týdning at kunna fáa lø... |
The Ministry of Finance has had plans to raise the state pension age in a few years, but that would be a rushed/ill-considered act, says the chairman of the National Association of Pensioners. | BLARK_translated | Fíggjarmálaráðið hevur havt ætlanir um at hækka fólkapensjónsaldurin eftir fáum árum, men tað hevði verið óðamannaverk, heldur formaðurin í Landsfelag Pensjónista. |
It is true that people live longer and are better off, and therefore more can also work for longer. But those who are approaching the state pension age have planned on receiving the pension, and the authorities cannot simply take it away from them. If the pension age is to be raised, it must happen over many years, so ... | BLARK_translated | Tað er rætt, at fólk liva longri og eru betri fyri, og tí kunnu fleiri eisini arbeiða longri. Men tey, ið nærkast fólkapensjónsaldri, hava roknað við at fáa pensjónina, og tað kunnu myndugleikarnir ikki bara taka frá teimum. Skal pensjónsaldurin hækka, so má tað henda yvir heilt nógv ár, soleiðis at tað verða tey, ið n... |
It shows that the public sector needs the older employees. But then they must also be given the opportunity to work and not be dismissed when they reach a certain age, he says. | BLARK_translated | Tað vísir, at tað almenna hevur brúk fyri teimum eldru starvsfólkunum. Men so mugu tey eisini fáa møguleika at arbeiða og ikki verða uppsøgd, tá tey røkka ein ávísan aldur, sigur hann. |
A “Havnarmaður” with a capital H, an HB supporter with no smaller letters, not to mention the country-music enthusiasm of 44-year-old Allan Samuelsen, who in recent years is probably best known for the big music events he has organized. | BLARK_translated | Havnarmaður við stóra H, HB-ari við ikki smærri stavum fyri ikki at tala um countryáhugan hjá 44 ára gamla Allan Samuelsen, sum hesi seinastu árini helst er mest kendur fyri stóru tónleikatiltøkini, hann hevur skipað fyri. |
Allan, who is a trained typing technician, also has education in ambulance services, and for the past 13 years has worked for the ambulance service based in the Eysturoy region. It is, however, his interest in country music and the events connected with that same genre that we know him best for. | BLARK_translated | Allan, sum er avlærdur typuteknikari, hevur eisini útbúgving innan sjúkraflutning, og hevur seinastu 13 árini starvast hjá sjúkraflutningstænastuni við starvsstaði í Eysturoynni. Tað er tó áhugin fyri countrytónleiki og teimum tiltøkum í sambandi við hesa somu sjangru, sum vit kenna hann best frá. |
He didn’t give up, and secured deals with well-known country singers such as Charlie Pride and Bobby Bare, as well as orchestras from Norway and Denmark. In addition, he organized a weekend for a country festival at Háls, and everything went very well. | BLARK_translated | Hann gavst ikki so, og fekk avtalu við so navnframar countrysangarar sum Charlie Pride og Bobby Bare, umframt orkestur úr Noregi og Danmark. Harafturat skipaði hann eitt vikuskifti fyri einum countryfestivali á Hálsi, og alt riggaði sera væl. |
The stars within country music are also going to decrease, and that also sets its limits, says Allan, who does not want to rule out the possibility that he once again will start a larger musical project at Hálsur. | BLARK_translated | stjørnurnar innan contrytónleikin fara eisini at fækkast, og tað setir eisini sínar avmarkingar sigur Allan, sum ikki vil avskriva møguleikan fyri at hann enn einaferð fer undir eitt størri tónleikatilfar á Hálsi. |
Do we need systems in the Faroe Islands that ensure people can report lawlessness and disorder at their workplace without fearing the consequences? | BLARK_translated | Tørvar okkum skipanir í Føroyum sum tryggja, at fólk kunnu smetta um lógloysi og óreglusemi á sínum arbeiðsplássi, uttan at stúra fyri avleiðingunum? |
In this issue of the paper we shine a light on whistleblowers. A concept that was initially associated with names like Snowden and Assange and American military secrets, but which in recent months has shown itself to be both topical and relevant here in the country as well. | BLARK_translated | Í blaðnum hesaferð varpa vit ljós á whistleblowers. Eitt hugtak, sum í fyrstani varð knýtt at nøvnum sum Snowden og Assange og amerikonskum hernaðarloynidómum, men sum seinastu mánaðirnar hevur víst seg at vera bæði aktuelt og viðkomandi her á landi eisini. |
Journalists say that most public employees in the Faroe Islands are afraid to express their opinions and to speak up with their knowledge about wrongdoings and irregularities. A survey conducted by two political scientists a few years ago also showed that many civil servants refrain from stating their views or talking ... | BLARK_translated | Fjølmiðlafólk siga, at flestu almennu starvsfólk í Føroyum eru bangin fyri at siga sína hugsan og koma fram við síni vitan um skeivleikar og óreglusemi. Ein kanning, ið tveir stjórnmálafrøðingar gjørdu fyri nøkrum árum síðani, vísti eisini, at nógv embætisfólk aftra seg við at siga sína áskoðan ella tosa um mál, ið tey... |
Around us people are working on finding solutions that can ensure that public employees dare to report misconduct at the workplace. They are creating whistleblower systems where employees, anonymously and without having to fear consequences, can report irregularities. | BLARK_translated | Kring okkum verður arbeitt við at finna loysnir, sum kunnu tryggja, at almenn starvsfólk tora at slatra um óreglusemi á arbeiðsplássinum. Tey gera whistleblowerskipanir, har starvsfólk, dulnevnd og uttan at nýtast at óttast avleiðingar, kunnu boða frá óreglusemi. |
In today’s newspaper we can read that central administration is to be reviewed. The coalition has decided this and it makes sense. It is good that we examine ourselves as a society. Check whether the systems work well enough and whether something could be done differently. But the coalition has another agenda as well. ... | BLARK_translated | Í blaðnum í dag kunnu vit lesa um at miðfyrisitingin skal endurskoðast. Tað hevur samgongan avgjørt og tað er skilagott. Tað er gott at vit rannsaka okkum sjálvi sum samfelag. Kanna eftir um skipanirnar virka nóg væl og um ikki okkurt kundi verið gjørt øðrvísi. Men samgongan hevur eina aðra dagsská eisini. Sparing. Mið... |
There is no doubt that, with the new central administration established in the mid-1990s, legal certainty has improved. We have obtained legislation that provides a framework for good administration and several well-educated people to staff the institutions. But the administration is young and has not yet found its foo... | BLARK_translated | Eingin ivi er um, at við nýggju miðfyrisitingini, sum varð stovsett miðskeiðis í 90'unum er bøtt um rættartrygdina. Vit hava fingið lóggávu, ið er ramma um góða fyrisitingin og fleiri vælútbúgvin fólk, at manna stovnarnar. Men fyrisitingin er ung og hevur ikki fótað sær. Landsgrannskoðanin hevur í áravís víst á afturve... |
weaknesses in the administration and at the Ombudsman of the Faroese Parliament, they see an administration that is more closed-off than in the neighboring countries. | BLARK_translated | veikleikar í fyrisitingini og hjá Løgtinsins Umboðsmanni síggja tey eina fyrisiting, sum er meira afturlatin enn í grannalondunum. |
A discussion paper that a working group of civil servants under the government has recently produced is interesting and well presented. | BLARK_translated | Eitt kjakupplegg, sum ein arbeiðsbólkur av embætisfólkum undir landsstýrinum fyri kortum hevur latið úr hondum, er áhugavert og væl úr hondum greitt. |
But we know that this has been done in the shadow of cuts. Not out of a desire to create an administration that is at least as good as in the advanced rule-of-law societies we want to compare ourselves with. Where legal certainty and quality in case processing and legislative work are at least as high a level as theirs... | BLARK_translated | Tó vita vit, at hetta er gjørt í skugganum av sparingum. Ikki út frá einum ynski um, at skapa eina fyrisiting, sum er minst líka góð, sum í teimum framkomnu rættarsamfeløgum, vit vilja sammetast við. Har rættartrygdin og góðskan í málsviðgerð og lóggávuarbeiði er á minst líka høgum stigi sum hjá teimum. |
No. The coalition's main motive for wanting to review the central administration is savings. | BLARK_translated | Nei. Drívmegin handa ynskið samgongunnar at endurskoða miðfyrisitingina er sparing. |
It is regrettable, because as a rule-of-law society we may come to pay a very high price. | BLARK_translated | Tað er harmuligt, tí sum rættarsamfelag kunnu vit koma at rinda ein ógvuliga høgan prís |
Among other things, we also arrange adventure tours along centuries-old historical routes, says Hanna á Reynatúgvu, information officer for the Sands District Tourism Association, who is happy to make the Sandoy area more visible in the tourism sector. | BLARK_translated | Millum annað skipa vit eisini fyri ævintýrtúri eftir aldargomlum søguslóðum, sigur Hanna á Reynatúgvu, kunningarleiðari fyri Sands Sýslu Ferðavinnufelag, sum fegin vil gera Sandoyarøkið sjónligari í ferðavinnuhøpi. |
Hanna had already been active in the tourism industry. For a few years she was a member of the Tourism Association for the county and was chairwoman for a time. She has also been a tour guide for several years, for which she has also obtained training. This is an accredited program that the Business School occasionally... | BLARK_translated | Hanna var tó frammanundan eisini virkin í ferðavinnuni. Í nøkur ár sum limur í Ferðavinnufelagnum fyri sýsluna og forkvinna eina tíð. Hon hevur eisini í fleiri ár verið ferðaleiðari, sum hon eisini hevur nomið sær útbúgving í. Hetta er ein góðkend útbúgving, sum Handilsskúlin av og á skipar fyri. Útbúgvingin er rættili... |
Hanna was born and raised in Sandur, and therefore has a close knowledge of local affairs. | BLARK_translated | Hanna er annars fødd og uppvaksin á Sandi, og hevur tí neyvt innlit í lokalu viðurskiftini. |
Tours are of great interest, not least for families and schools. Several schools have used this as theme projects. | BLARK_translated | túrar hava stóran áhuga, ikki minst fyri familjur og skúlar. Fleiri skúlar hava brúkt hetta sum tema-verkætlanir. |
If we continue with the more historical, a walking tour will also be organized following the story of the Skálavík resident Heðin Brú, which he called “Down the Upper Road.” A tour along the footpath between Skálavík and Sand, where the author in the book talks about various things along the way. | BLARK_translated | Halda vit fram við tí meira søguliga, verður eisini skipað fyri einum gongutúri eftir søguni hjá skálvíkinginum Heðini Brú, sum hann kallaði „Eftir ovara vegi“. Ein túrur eftir gongugøtuni millum Skálavík og Sand, har høvundin í bókini greiðir frá ymiskum á leiðini. |
One of the major tasks of the information officer is to make the Sandoy region more visible to tourists. | BLARK_translated | Ein av stóru uppgávunum hjá kunningarleiðaranum er at gera sandoyarøkið sjónligari í ferðafólkahøpi. |
From people who have been and travel down here, we usually hear only good things about the trip, but what is notable about what we hear from them is that they are greatly surprised at how good it is to travel in our area, because they have heard so little about us. No — it is true that we hear a lot about the high moun... | BLARK_translated | Frá fólki, sum hava verið og ferðast her suðuri, hoyra vit vanliga alt gott um ferðina, men tað sum sermerkir tað vit hoyra frá teimum er, at tey eru stórliga bilsin av hvussu gott tað er at ferðast um okkara leiðir, tí so lítið hava tey hoyrt um okkum. Nei – rætt er tað, at vit hoyra nógv um høgu fjøllini norðanfjørðs... |
It will be difficult to talk about Sandoy without at the same time thinking about the undersea tunnel. | BLARK_translated | Tað verður torført at tala um Sandoynni, um ein ikki samstundis fer at hugsa um undirsjóvartunnilin. |
It is becoming increasingly common for, for example, workplaces to organize staff outings. In that connection Hanna intends to get more out of this area. To offer workplaces ready-made packages with various contents, and make these offers as exciting and suitable as possible. | BLARK_translated | Tað gerst alt meira vanligt, at eitt nú arbeiðspláss skipa fyri starvsfólkaútferðum. Í tí sambandi ætlar Hanna at fáa meira burturúr á hesum øki. At bjóða arbeiðsplássum lidnar pakkar við ymiskum innihaldi, og gera hesi tilboð so spennandi og lagalig sum gjørligt. |
We can pick people up at the doors and offer them various experiences down here – tours, food, line dancing in the sports hall, and more. If we get reasonably good time to prepare such visits, there is almost nothing impossible, says the manager at the information office in Sandur. | BLARK_translated | Vit kunnu heinta fólk við dyrnar og bjóða teimum ymiskar upplivingar her suðuri – rundferðir, mat, linedans í ítróttarhøllini o.a. Fáa vit rímiliga góða tíð at fyrireika tílíkar vitjanir, er at kalla einki óført, sigur leiðarin á kunningarstovuni á Sandi. |
On March 8 the Civil Servants’ Association held its annual meeting at Østrøm. As usual, the chairman’s report was first on the agenda. Selma Ellingsgaard reported on the association’s activities since the last annual meeting and reflected on the association’s work going forward. Architects 99 then presented drawings of... | BLARK_translated | 8. mars hevði Starvsmannafelagið aðalfund á Østrøm. Sum vanligt var frásøgn formansins fyrst á skránni.

Randi has in her role as a union representative carried out the position conscientiously and responsibly and has always spoken up for the staff's interests. Throughout her career she has fought for the rights of her colleagues, while also drawing attention to, generating interest in, and fostering respect for the syste... | BLARK_translated | Randi hevur í virki sínum sum álitisfólk, samvitskufult og ábyrgdarfult røkt starvið og altíð tala søk starvsfólkanna. Hon hevur gjøgnum yrki sítt stríðst fyri rættindum hjá starvsfeløgum sínum, samstundis sum hon hevur vakt ans, áhuga og virðing fyri álitisfólkaskipanini.“ |
The general meeting of the Samlag Insurance Fund unanimously re-elected the same board to continue overseeing the work of the fund. The board has organized itself and continues unchanged, namely with John Kjær as chairman, Jákup Danielsen as secretary and Selma Ellingsgaard as board member. | BLARK_translated | Aðalfundurin hjá Samlagstryggingargrunninum valdi einmælt somu nevnd aftur at standa fyri arbeiðinum í grunninum. Nevndin hevur skipað seg og heldur fram í óbroyttum líki, nevniliga við John Kjær sum formanni, Jákup Danielsen sum skrivara og Selmu Ellingsgaard sum nevndarlimi. |
The chairperson's report also stated that the number of diagnosed serious illnesses has increased. | BLARK_translated | Í formansfrágreiðingini varð annars staðfest, at talið av staðfestum álvarsligum sjúkum er økt. |
That the costs are well specified must also be seen in light of the report from the World Health Organization (WHO) on the trend in cancer cases. The forecasts say that, unfortunately, we can expect the number of cases to increase in the coming years. At the same time, individuals’ chances of overcoming the disease are... | BLARK_translated | At gjøldini eru væl givin út, skal eisini síggjast í ljósinum á teimum fráboðanum, sum heimsheilsustovnurin WHO hevur um gongdina innan talið av krabbasjúkum. Prognosurnar siga, at vit tíverri kunnu roknað við, at talið av tilburðum fer at økjast komandi árini. Samstundis gerast møguleikarnir hjá tí einstaka fyri at vi... |
The group insurance covers life insurance, spouse insurance, and insurance against certain serious illnesses. | BLARK_translated | Samlagstryggingin fevnir um lívstrygging, hjúnafelagatrygging, trygging móti ávísum hættisligum sjúkum |
in addition to insurance against certain serious illnesses for children under 18 years. See the LÍV website. The insurance also includes a local amount that people receive when they turn 67 years old, but this amount will be reduced in the coming years. | BLARK_translated | umframt trygging móti ávísum hættisligum sjúkum hjá børnum undir 18 ár. Sí heimasíðuna hjá LÌV, Eisini fevnir tryggingin um eina lokalupphædd, sum fólk fáa, tá tey verða 67 ár, men henda upphædd verður niðurlaða komandi árini. |
The cost to be a resting member is 100 kroner per month, and the collective insurance costs 200 kroner per month. | BLARK_translated | Kostnaður fyri at vera hvílandi limur er 100 krónur um mánaðin, og samlagstryggingin kostar 200 krónur um mánaðin. |
This is the third year in a row that the board and administration dedicate a weekend to planning the association's work going forward. | BLARK_translated | Hetta er triðja árið á rað, at nevnd og umsiting setur eitt vikuskifti av at planleggja arbeiði felagsins framyvir. |
A status was made of how far things have progressed. A timetable was therefore laid out for specific tasks within the areas. | BLARK_translated | Status varð gjørt yvir hvussu langt er komið. Løgd varð tíðarætlan fyri konkret mál innan økini. |
