Oversight in this area is not insignificant. We must and shall have oversight that protects the rights of citizens and gives them insight into what the political system does, oversight that ensures that the citizen is guaranteed a dignified future. | BLARK_translated | Eftirlit í hesum høpi, er ikki av tí ringa. Vit mugu og skulu hava eitt eftirlit, sum verjir rættindini hjá borgarunum og gevur teimum innlit í hvat politiska skipanin ger, eitt eftirlit sum syrgir fyri, at borgarin er tryggjaður eina virðiliga framtíð. |
In reality, it’s all about people’s destinies. About having a dignified life and making work life, family life and leisure life fit together and harmonize with one another. | BLARK_translated | Í veruleikanum snýr tað heila seg um mannalagnur. Um tað at hava eitt virðiligt lív og at fáa arbeiðslív, familjulív og frítíðarlív at passa saman og ganga í harmoni við hvørt annað. |
He is probably best known from political life, as the plainspoken and at times rather blunt politician. Three years ago he retired as an active politician. By then he had, a year earlier, taken on the position of harbour master in Runavík. Half a job, or rather half pay, that first year, since a parliamentary position ... | BLARK_translated | Ivaleyst man hann vera best kendur frá politiska lívinum, sum hin bersøgni og viðhvørt rættiliga buldrasligi politikarin. Fyri trimum árum síðani gavst hann sum virkin politikari. Tá hevði hann eitt ár frammanundan tikið við starvinum sum havnarmeistari í Runavík. Hálvt starv, ella rættari hálv løn, hetta fyrsta árið, ... |
Tórbjørn was elected to the parliament for the first time in 1998. He has served as a minister for cultural affairs and fisheries, and has likewise been a member of the Danish Parliament for a year and a half. In the spring of 2010 Runa Vík announced that the municipality was looking for a harbour master. A posting tha... | BLARK_translated | Tórbjørn varð á fyrsta sinni valdur á ting í 1998. Hann hevur verið landsstýrismaður við mentamálum og fiskivinnumálum, og hevur somuleiðis havt sæti á fólkatingi í hálvtriðja ár. Á vári í 2010 lýsti Runa víkar kommuna eftir einum havnarmeistara.

Hægstu nautisku útbúgving hevði Tórbjørn, sum eisini var eitt krav. Hann søkti og fekk starvið, sum hann nú stórtrívist í. |
To be honest, I was quite tired of politics, or political work, and wanted to return to my old surroundings. That also succeeded with this job, says Tórbjørn, who considers the position more of a commercial than a municipal role, because all the partners in the position are commercial. | BLARK_translated | Satt at siga var eg rættiliga troyttur av politikkinum, ella politiska arbeiðinum, og ynskti at koma aftur í mítt gamla umhvørvi. Hetta eydnaðist eisini við hesum starvinum, sigur Tórbjørn, sum metir starvið meira sum eitt vinnuligt, heldur enn kommunalt, starv, tí allir samstarvspartar í starvinum eru vinnuligir. |
And it must be said that things have gone well over these four years. The revenues are this | BLARK_translated | Og sigast má, at væl hevur vignast hesi fýra árini. Inntøkurnar eru hetta |
For the first time ever it fell to Tórbjørn to pilot a drilling rig into a Faroese harbor. A project that had been in preparation for a long time, and which required many and lengthy preparations. | BLARK_translated | Sum hin fyrsti nakrantíð fall tað í lutin hjá Tórbirni at loðsa ein boripall inn í føroyska havn. Eitt mál, sum hevur verið leingi í umbúna, og sum kravdi nógvar og drúgvar fyrireikingar. |
Members who become unemployed, are on unpaid leave, or begin training can become inactive members of the Starvsmann association. Inactive membership means that you retain collective insurance and other rights, such as discounts from companies with which we have made agreements, and of | BLARK_translated | Limir, ið annaðhvørt gerast arbeiðsleysir, eru í farloyvi uttan løn, ella fara undir útbúgving, kunnu gerast hvílandi limir í Starvsmann afelagnum.

On Tuesday, June 17, members in Sandoy were on hand to receive a visit from the association’s board and administration. Visits have been made in several areas of the country recently. This is part of an effort to strengthen the connection between members and the association. It is also so the administration and board c... | BLARK_translated | Týsdagin 17. juni stóðu limir í Sandoynni fyri tørni at fáa vitjan av nevnd og umsiting felagsins.

The group had split into two groups. This was to be able to visit as many members as possible. | BLARK_translated | Ferðalagið hevði deilt seg í tveir bólkar. Hetta fyri at náa at vitja so nógvar limir sum gjørligt. |
One group visited the Secondary School, the Liquor Store and the Skálavík municipality. The other group visited the Information Office and the Post Office. Everywhere we were met with great kindness. We talked about their work tasks and division of labor, and they also had the opportunity to ask union-related questions... | BLARK_translated | Ein bólkur vitjaði á Meginskúlanum, Rúsdrekkasøluna og hjá Skálavíkar kommunu. Hin bólkurin vitjaði Kunningarstovuna og Posta. Allastaðni blivu vit møtt við stórum blíðskapi. Tosað varð um teirra arbeiðsuppgávur og arbeiðsbýti, og somuleiðis fingu tey høvi at seta fakfelagsligar spurningar. |
In the evening there was an evening gathering in the summer house in Skálavík, which the Staff Association and its members own. Again with coffee and cake there were two presentations. Selma | BLARK_translated | Um kvøldið varð skipað fyri kvøldsetu í summarhúsinum í Skálavík, ið Starvsmannafelagið og limir tess eiga. Aftur við einum kaffimunni og køku vóru tvær framløgur. Selma |
Ellingsgaard, the chairwoman, reported on the association’s website and the services members have in the association and on the work to establish specialist groups within the association. | BLARK_translated | Ellingsgaard, forkvinnan, greiddi frá heimasíðu felagsins og hvørji tilboð limir hava í felagnum og arbeiðinum at stovna fakbólkar innan felagið. |
Dan Joensen, an actuary at LÍV, explained changes in the pension area and how the savings will be organised going forward, after the new pension law came into effect in January 2014. | BLARK_translated | Dan Joensen, tryggingarmaður á LÍV, greiddi frá broytingum á eftirlønarøkinum, og hvussu uppsparingin verður skipað framyvir, eftir at nýggja eftirlønarlógin kom í gildi í januar 2014. |
In summary, this was, in our opinion, a successful day, and we see great importance in putting faces to our members. On the afternoon of Friday, October 12, the Staff Association organized a theme day in the Nordic House. The topic of the theme day was harassment. Niclas Heri Jákupsson presented the results of a survey... | BLARK_translated | Samanumtikið var hetta eftir okkara meting ein væleydnaður dagur, og síggja vit stóran týdning í at fáa sett andlit á limir okkara. Seinnapartin fríggjadagin 12. oktober skipaði Starvsmannafelagið fyri temadegi í Norðurlandahúsinum. Evnið fyri temadagin var strongd. Niclas Heri Jákupsson legði fram úrslitið av eini kan... |
The same evening the Employees' Association organized a public meeting with two lectures on the program. Niclas Heri Jákupsson, who spoke about the research and his own experiences when he became ill with clostridium difficile, and Peter Qvortrup Geisling, who talked about various complications of clostridium difficile... | BLARK_translated | Sama kvøld skipaði Starvsmannafelagið fyri almennum fundi við tveimum fyrilestrum á skránni. Niclas Heri Jákupsson, sum greiddi frá um kanningina og sínum egnu upplivingum, tá hann gjørdist sjúkur av strongd, og Peter Qvortrup Geisling, sum greiddi frá ymiskum fyribrigdum við strongd. |
The results of the study confirm that this is a significantly bigger problem than anyone had previously suspected. | BLARK_translated | Úrslitið av kanningini staðfestir, at talan er um eitt munandi størri vandamál enn nakar áður hevur givið gætur. |
It was a rather shocking finding in the results of the survey Niclas Heri Jákupsson carried out for the Civil Servants' Union, which he recently announced to the union's representatives, employers and others. The survey, conducted as a questionnaire among members of the Civil Servants' Union, found that every other mem... | BLARK_translated | Tað var ikki sørt skelkandi staðfesting í úrslitinum av kanningini, Niclas Heri Jákupsson hevur gjørt fyri Starvsmannafelagið, sum hann herfyri kunngjørdi fyri álitisfólkum felagsins, arbeiðsgevarum og øðrum. Kanningin, sum er gjørd sum spurnakanning millum limir Starvsmannafelagsins, staðfestir, at annarhvør limur hev... |
About half of those who think loneliness stems from personal reasons say the cause is grief or illness. Next come causes such as problems in the partnership, financial difficulties and problems with children, and some mention family conflicts and divorce.

When we compare ourselves with Danish conditions we say that Denmark is 100 times larger. If we use this ratio, the numbers look like this: | BLARK_translated | Tá vit sammeta okkum við donsk viðurskifti siga vit, at Danmark er 100 ferðir størri. Nýta vit hetta lutfallið, síggja tølini soleiðis út: |
About 2,500–3,000 Faroese people suffer badly from constipation every day. | BLARK_translated | Umleið 2.500 – 3.000 føroyingar eru hvønn dag sera illa fyri av strongd |
About 300 hospital admissions in the Faroe Islands are due to back pain • 30 Faroese people end up as early retirees because of back pain. | BLARK_translated | Føroyingar hava umleið 300 innleggingar á sjúkrahúsi vegna strongd • 30 føroyingar enda sum fyritíðarpensionistar vegna strongd. |
It should be said, however, that caution must always be exercised when such comparisons are made between countries. Circumstances can vary, for example how the labor market is organized. | BLARK_translated | Tað skal tó sigast, at fyrivarni skal altíð takast, tá tílíkar sammetingar verða gjørdar landanna millum. Viðurskifti kunnu vera ymiskt, eitt nú hvussu arbeiðsmarknaðurin er skipaður. |
Constipation has certain symptoms, and the survey also asks about them. Without going into detail about the health status of members of the Employees’ Association, the survey shows clear signs that they are not so few who have something to worry about when it comes to constipation. | BLARK_translated | Strongd hevur ávís sjúkueyðkenni við sær, og spurt verður í kanningini eisini um hesi. Uttan at fara í dýpdina við heilsustøðuni hjá limum Starvsmannafelagsins eru greið tekin í kanningini um, at tey eru ikki so fá, sum hava nakað at hugsa um, tá ræður um strongd. |
Between 15 and 20 percent say they very often or often feel sad, think they can’t cope anymore, have difficulty sleeping, difficulty concentrating, are emotionally on an uneven wave, have headaches, have cold hands and feet, have stomach discomfort, feel absent, feel antisocial, have pain in muscles and joints and feel... | BLARK_translated | Millum 15 og 20 prosent siga seg sera ofta ella ofta vera kedd, hugsa at nú orka tey ikki meira, hava torført at hvíla, torført at samla tankarnar, eru kensluliga í ójavn vág, hava høvuðpínu, hava kaldar hendur og føtur, hava órógv í maganum, kenna seg fráverandi, kenna seg at vera ósosialan, hava pínu í vøddum og liðu... |
Of the 711 members who participated in the survey, most have a vocational education. One third have primary school, one quarter have secondary education, 36 percent have either a two- or three-year higher education, and five percent have a five-year higher education. | BLARK_translated | Av teimum 711 limunum, sum hava luttikið í kanningini, eru tey flestu sum hava eina yrkisútbúgving. Ein triðingur hevur fólkaskúla, ein fjórðingur miðnám, 36 prosent hava annaðhvørt tvey ella trý ára hægri útbúgving, og fimm prosent hava fimm ára hægri útbúgving. |
There are clear indications that people stay well at their workplace, whatever the reason. A solid half have worked for more than 10 years at their current workplace, and 18 percent between seven and ten years. | BLARK_translated | Greiðar ábendingar eru um at fólk støðast væl á arbeiðsplássinum, hvør so orsøkin er. Stívliga helmingurin hevur starvast í fleiri enn 10 ár á núverandi arbeiðsplássi, og 18 prosent millum sjey og tíggju ár. |
who have not stated their position on coercion. It may be that the result would have been different if all members had participated, but what remains nonetheless is that the number of those who say they are more or less harmed by coercion is quite large. | BLARK_translated | sum ikki hava sagt sína støðu um strongd. Kann vera, at úrslitið hevði verið øðrvísi um allir limirnir luttóku, men eftir stendur kortini, at talið á teimum sum siga seg vera meira ella minni darvað av strongd, er rættiliga stórt. |
Now that everything is going faster and faster in society, including in the workplace, which emphasizes continuously increasing the pace, and in addition the demands and wishes we have in our private lives. In connection with that | BLARK_translated | Eitt nú at alt gongur skjótari og skjótari í samfelagnum, sama á arbeiðsplássinum, sum leggja dent á at økja ferðini alsamt, og harafturat tey krøv og ynski sum vit hava í privatlívinum. Í sambandi við tað |
Peter pointed out that for our recent generations it was almost a major event to get new linoleum on the kitchen floor. Today we demand to have no fewer than two cars in the yard, a summer house and trips. And we will hardly get any sleep if we do not also have a conversation kitchen. If the neighborhood children visit... | BLARK_translated | vísti Peter á, at fyri okkara undanfarnu ættarlið var tað at kalla stórhending at fáa nýtt linolium á køksgólvið. Í dag krevja vit at hava ikki færri enn tveir bilar í túninum, summarhús og útferðir. Og vit fáa neyvan svøvn í eyguni um vit ikki eisini hava ein samtalukøk. Koma grannabørnini á vitjan og síggja at vit ik... |

Leivur Persson reported that the Labour Inspectorate has five employees, and if they were to fully and completely carry out all inspection tasks, they should have twice as many employees. They therefore have to prioritize the areas where, according to the statistics, they see the most work injuries. Construction activi... | BLARK_translated | Leivur Persson greiddi frá, at á Arbeiðseftirlitinum eru tey fimm starvsfólk, og skuldi tey megna heilt og fult at røkja allar eftirlitsuppgávur, áttu tey at havt dupult so nógv starvsfólk. Tey noyðast tí at raðfesta tey øki har tey, sambært hagtølum, síggja flestu arbeiðsskaðarnar. Byggivirksemið hevur neyvan verið st... |
Addiction is a major challenge that is only growing. And much indicates that addiction will become the biggest cause of illness in 2020. That was said by Súni Poulsen, a psychologist, who could also offer some good news: that addiction is an illness that is easy to cure. It should be treated as soon as possible, and se... | BLARK_translated | Strongd er ein stór avbjóðing, sum bara veksur. Og mangt bendir á, at strongd verður størsta sjúkuorsøk í 2020. Tað segði Súni Poulsen, sálarfrøðingur, sum eisini kundi borðreiða við einum góðum tíðindum: At strongd er ein sjúka, sum er løtt at lekja. Tað skal henda so skjótt sum gjørligt, og fleiri viðgerðarhættir eru... |
Súni Poulsen also considered it unfair that it is a condition for receiving treatment that you yourself have money or that the employer agrees to pay. Today there is great social injustice in who can get help for addiction, he said. | BLARK_translated | Súni Poulsen helt tað eisini vera órættvíst, at tað er ein treyt fyri at fáa viðgerð, at tú sjálvur hevur pengar ella at arbeiðsgevarin játtar at rinda. Tað er stórt sosialt órættvísi hvør kann fáa hjálp fyri strongd í dag, segði hann. |
The civil servants' association recently announced a large survey regarding cohesion among the union's members. | BLARK_translated | Starvsmannafelagið almennakunngjørdi herfyri stóra kanning viðvíkandi strongd millum limir felagsins. |
One of the big questions that no one has publicly announced yet is: What is the Labour Inspection Authority doing about the psychological work environment? | BLARK_translated | Ein av stóru spurningunum nú kann ingin er almennakunngjørd er: Hvat ger Arbeiðseftirlitið við sálarliga arbeiðsumhvørvið? |
The investigation shows alarming figures, but equally alarming is hearing that the Labour Inspectorate has no preparedness when it comes to the psychological work environment. There is no plan and no workforce to take care of those who are collapsing from strain. | BLARK_translated | Kanningin vísir á ræðandi tøl, men líka ræðandi er at hoyra, at Arbeiðseftirlitið onga tilbúgving hevur, tá tað ræður um sálarliga arbeiðsumhvørvið. Har fyriliggur ongin ætlan og ongin arbeiðsmegi, at takað sær av teimum, sum bukka undir av strongd. |
A lot is happening in the construction industry at the moment. All good, and the priorities of the Labour Inspection are also reflected in that. | BLARK_translated | Rættuliga nógv hendir í byggivinnuni í løtuni. Alt gott um tað, og prioriteringarnar hjá Arbeiðseftirlitinum síggjast eisini av tí sama. |
Six people are employed – a department manager who is a lawyer, three machine operators, an engineer and a craftsman. | BLARK_translated | Seks fólk eru í starvi – ein deildarleiðari sum er løgfrøðingur, trý maskinfólk, ein verkfrøðingur og ein handverkari. |
May I ask: Which of these is responsible for taking care of the psychological work environment? Which of these can assess whether the psychological environment at a workplace is good or poor? | BLARK_translated | Eg loyvi mær at spyrja: Hvør av hesum er før ella førur fyri at taka sær av sálarliga arbeiðsumhvørvinum? Hvør av hesum kann meta um, um sálarliga umhvørvið er gott ella ringt á einum arbeiðsplássi? |
To me it looks as if the political system wants all oversight where the pepper grows (i.e. where it affects them). The Labour Inspection as an institution was abolished in 2011 and placed under the Public Health Agency. | BLARK_translated | Fyri mær sær tað út sum um politiska skipanin ynskir alt eftirlit har piparið grør. Arbeiðseftirlitið sum stovnur varð avtikið í 2011 og lagt undir Heilsufrøðiligu Starvs stovuna. |
Personally I am not always so happy about inspection, but inspection in this area is not to be underestimated. We must and shall have an inspection system that ensures that the citizen works under safe conditions. | BLARK_translated | Persónliga eri eg ikki altíð so glaður fyri eftirlit, men eftirlit í hesum høpi er ikki av tí ringa. Vit mugu og skulu hava eitt eftirlit, sum virkar fyri, at borgarin arbeiðir undir tryggum umstøðum. |
Snorri Fjalsbak was also surprised that 12 percent of women and 10 percent of men have in the past three years been on sick leave due to back pain. | BLARK_translated | Snorri Fjalsbak undraði seg eisini yvir, at 12 prosent av kvinnum og 10 prosent av monnum hava seinastu trý árini verið sjúkrameldað av strongdarávum. |
Snorri Fjalsbak, who represented the employers, here talks with Svend Åge Seloy, a board member | BLARK_translated | Snorri Fjalsbak, sum umboðaði arbeiðsgevararnar, prátar her við Svend Åge Seloy, nevndarlim |
Stress in the workplace stems from too heavy a workload. Snorri Fjalsbak said this and was puzzled, because he believed it was only good to have a lot to do. It would have been worse if people said they had too little to do, he thought. | BLARK_translated | strongdin á arbeiðsplássinum stavar frá ov stórari arbeiðsbyrðu. Tað segði Snorri Fjalsbak seg undrast yvir, tí hann helt, at tað var bara gott at hava nógv at gera. Verri hevði verið um fólk søgdu seg hava ov lítið at gera, helt hann. |
Snorri Fjalsbak said he would take the survey result with a certain reservation, because no more than one third of the trade union members participated. | BLARK_translated | Snorri Fjalsbak segði seg taka kanningarúrslitið við einum ávísum fyrivarni, av tí at ikki fleiri enn ein triðingur av starvsmannafelagslimunum luttóku. |
The Staff Association, which is the main union for about 2,000 employees from many different occupational groups, was again this year present at the People’s Assembly, which this time was in Runavík. The association had its own booth and organized three interesting and topical lectures, all of which were relevant to th... | BLARK_translated | Starvsmannafelagið, sum er meginfelag hjá umleið 2.000 starvsfólkum úr nógvum ymiskum fakbólkum, var aftur í ár við á Fólkafundinum, sum hesaferð var í Runavík. Felagið hevði egnan bás og skipaði fyri trimum áhugaverdum og aktuellum fyrilestrum, sum allir vóru viðkomandi fyri arbeiðsmarknaðin. |
Erland Viberg Joensen, historian, gave a lecture on the Faroese labor movement; Suni Poulsen, psychologist, gave a lecture on confinement; and Kristina Samuelsen, lawyer, spoke about “Good governance, trade-union resistance or political illegality.” | BLARK_translated | Erland Viberg Joensen, søgufrøðingur, helt fyrilestur um føroysku arbeiðararørsluna, Suni Poulsen, sálarfrøðingur, helt fyrilestur um strongd, og Kristina Samuelsen, advokatur, røddi um „Ta góðu fyrisitingina, fakligt mótspæl ella politisk undirbrotligheit“. |
Board members and people from the administration staffed the booth, where people could learn about the union, current issues, and express their heartfelt opinions about the Employees’ Union and trade unions in general. | BLARK_translated | Nevndarlimir og fólk frá umsitingini mannaðu básin, har fólk kundu kunna seg um felagið, aktuellar spurningar og siga sína hjartans meining um Starvsmannafelagið og fakfeløg sum heild. |
Kristina also pointed out that these values can come into conflict with one another. For example, if civil servants and the politician, without intending to, share the same values and thereby cause other values to be sidelined. A strong alignment between the values of the politician and those of the civil servant resul... | BLARK_translated | Kristina vísti eisini á, at hesi virði kunnu koma í stríð hvørt við annað. Millum annað um embætisfólki og politikarin, uttan tilvitandi, hava somu virði og sum gera, at onnur virði fara aftur við borðinum. Eitt gott samanfall millum virðini hjá politikaranum og embætisfólkinum gevur betri arbeiðsumstøður, betri løn og... |
It was especially in the 1950s that the divisiveness in the Faroese labor movement triumphed over plans for unification, says Erland Viberg Joensen, historian. | BLARK_translated | Tað var serliga í fimmtiárunum at sundurlyndið í føroysku fakfelagsrørsluni sigraði á ætlanum um sameining, heldur Erland Viberg Joensen, søgufrøðingur |
At the public meeting in Runavík, Erland recounted the development of the labour movement, which was originally social-democratic. How the movement evolved in different parts of the country, and what influence it had on the labour movement that the Republican Party (Tjóðveldisflokkurin) was founded two years after the ... | BLARK_translated | Á fólkafundinum í Runavík greiddi Erland frá gongdini í arbeiðararørsluni, sum upprunaliga var sosialdemokratisk. Hvussu rørslan mentist ymsastaðni í landinum, og hvørja ávirkan tað hevði á arbeiðararørsluna, at Tjóðveldisflokkurin varð stovnaður tvey ár eftir fólkaatkvøðuna í 1946, tí nú høvdu vit tveir arbeiðaraflokk... |
Apart from the Fishermen’s Association, the people of Tvøroyri were the first to establish trade unions, and it was also there that the Social Democratic Party was strongest for many years after it was founded. It was also in Tvøroyri that the fiercest labor disputes took place, and likewise there that the worker won o... | BLARK_translated | Burtursæð frá Fiskimannafelagnum, vóru tvøráfólk tey fyrstu sum stovnaðu fak feløg, og tað var eisini har á staðnum, at Javnaðarflokkurin, mongu árini eftir at hann varð stovnaður, stóð sterkast. Tað var eisini á Tvøroyri at harðasta fakfelagsstríðið stóð, og somuleiðis har, at arbeiðarin vann ein av sínum størstu sigr... |
Erland reminded that as a historian you cannot always compare Faroese society with the larger societies outside of us, but in some areas there are things that are similar. He mentioned the world‑wide financial crisis of the thirties, which also affected the Faroe Islands, so that several businesses went bankrupt and li... | BLARK_translated | Erland minti á, at sum søgufrøðingur kann tú ikki altíð samanbera føroyska samfelagið i við størru samfeløgini uttan um okkum, men á nøkrum økjum er eitt og annað sum líkist.

The Vinnuflokkurin, which was founded in 1935 and later became the People’s Party, became the political counterpart to the Social Democratic Party. Capital was concentrated around Sjóvinnubankin and Føroya Fiskaexport, which later became Føroya Fiskasøla, and when Sjóvinnubankin, which at that time financed a large par... | BLARK_translated | Vinnuflokkurin, sum varð stovnaður í 1935, og sum seinri gjørdist Fólkaflokkurin, gjørdist politiski mótparturin hjá Javnaðarflokkinum. Kapitalurin savnaðist um Sjóvinnubankan og Føroya Fiskaexport, sum seinri gjørdist Føroya Fiskasøla, og tá Sjóvinnubankin, sum tá fíggjaði stóran part av vinnulívinum, fór á húsagang, ... |
For us, who want a strong and united labor movement, it is regrettable to see how the movement was divided, rather than standing together, said Erland, who pointed to the Faroese Fishermen’s Association, which once went... | BLARK_translated | Fyri okkum, sum ynskja eina sterka og sameinda arbeiðararørslu, er syndarligt at síggja hvussu rørslan spjaddist, heldur enn at hon stað saman, segði Erland, sum vísti á Føroya Fiskimannafelag, sum einaferð fór |
We now had two working-class groups instead of one. The question is whether we ever really had room for two working classes, Erland said, who was bitter about the ideological side of the Faroese trade union movement today. He believed that although much has changed in society, with many well-educated people and special... | BLARK_translated | Vit høvdu nú tveir arbeiðaraflokkar heldur enn ein. Spurningurin er, um vit nakrantíð høvdu pláss fyri tveimum arbeiðaraflokkum, helt Erland, sum fýltist á hugsjónarliga partin í føroysku fakfelagsrørsluni í dag. Hann helt, at hóast mangt er broytt í samfelagnum, við nógvum væl útbúnum fólki, og við serfrøðingum í arbe... |
The NTR conference 2014 was this time in Denmark. HK-Communal owns, together with the rest of the HK association, a large course center in Svendborg, which they call Christiansminde. The course center is so large that it is also used as a hotel and is located in a very beautiful natural environment. | BLARK_translated | NTR ráðstevnan 2014 var hesa ferð í Danmark. HK-kommunal eigur, saman við restini av HK samtakinum, ein stóran skeiðsdepil í Svendborg, sum tey kalla Christiansminde. Skeiðsdepilin er so mikið stórur, at hann eisini verður brúktur sum Hotel og liggur í sera náttúruvøkrum umhvørvi. |
The title of the conference was “The future working life of the members – what responsibility do the trade unions have?” | BLARK_translated | Yvirskriftin á ráðstevnuni var „Framtíðar arbeiðslívið hjá limunum – hvørja ábyrgd hava fakfeløgini“ |
The conference focused on how the members and the trade union will face common challenges in working life in the future. | BLARK_translated | Ráðstevnan setti fokus á hvussu limirnir og fakfelagið møta felags avbjóðingum í arbeiðslívinum í framtíðini. |
What are the future challenges for the employer in working life, what is the role of the employer and thereby also the role of the trade union movement, and how do we develop cooperation between members and working life? | BLARK_translated | Hvørjar eru framtíðar avbjóðingarnar hjá arbeiðsgevaranum í arbeiðslívinum, hvør er leikluturin hjá arbeiðsgevaranum og harvið eisini leikluturin hjá fakfelagsrørsluni, hvussu menna vit samstarvið millum limir og arbeiðslívið? |
“Members in Focus — the organized union” was the title of a presentation by Lene Roed, a board member of HK-Communal and sector chairwoman of HK-Southern Jutland. She reported on a major survey HK-Communal had conducted about the need to organize professional trade groups for the union’s members. The structure of HK an... | BLARK_translated | Limirnir í Fokus – tað organiseraða fakfelagi“ var heiti á innleggi, hjá Lene Roed, nevndarlimur í stýrinum hjá HK-kommunal og sektorforkvinna í HK-Suðurjútland. Hon greiddi frá stórari kanning HK-kommunal hevði gjørt um tørvin á at skipa yrkisfakbólkar fyri limir felagsins. Skipanin hjá HK og Starvsmannafelagnum minna... |
Kristine Sticker Hestbech, a priest who is also well known here in the Faroe Islands, concluded the conference with a lecture titled “A Work and Family Life in Balance.” It was a lecture that received a very good reception and set many thoughts in motion for most people. | BLARK_translated | Kristine Sticker Hestbech, prestur, sum eisini er væl kend her í Føroyum, endaði ráðstevnuna við fyrilestri undir heitinum „Eitt arbeiðs- og familjulív í javnvág“. Hetta var ein fyrilestur, ið fekk sera góða móttøku og setti nógvar tankar í gongd hjá teimum flestu. |
The arrangement is such that the host country for the upcoming conference also holds the chairmanship of NTR. Therefore Súni Selfoss will take on the chairmanship of NTR at the upcoming Nordic meeting, which will be at the end of November this year. | BLARK_translated | Skipanin er soleiðis, at vertstjóðin fyri komandi ráðstevnu eisini hevur formansskapin í NTR. Tí tekur Súni Selfoss við sum formaður fyri NTR á komandi norðurlendska fundinum, sum verður síðst í november í ár. |
For the Civil Servants' Association, Súni Selfoss, Niels á Reynatúgvu, Karin Jacobsen and Guðrið Joensen participated. | BLARK_translated | Fyri Starvsmannafelagi luttóku Súni Selfoss, Niels á Reynatúgvu, Karin Jacobsen og Guðrið Joensen. |
NTR is an abbreviation of Nordisk Tjenestemansråd and covers Nordic cooperation among trade unions that organize employees working for municipalities and municipal institutions. From Denmark the following participate in the cooperation: HK-Kommunal, Gentofte Municipal Association, Frederiksberg Municipal Association an... | BLARK_translated | NTR er stytting av Nordisk Tjenestemansråd og umfatar norðurlendskt samstarv millum fakfeløg, sum organisera starvsfólk, ið starvast hjá kommunum og kommunalum stovnum. Úr Danmark eru hesi við í samstarvinum: HK-Kommunal, Gentofte Kommunalforening, Frederiksberg Kommunalforening og Kommunale Ledere. Úr Íslandi er kommu... |
The contract amount in these collaborations is approximately 320,000; Finland is not included in that. | BLARK_translated | Limatalið í hesum samstarvinum er uml. 320.000, tá er Finnland ikki íroknað. |
It is cold at the summit but on the way down the sweat trickled off me, and to be completely honest, it wasn’t until I had been there a good while that I felt the cold. My blood was still pumping through my body from the hard run from Kollfjarðardalur up to Sornfelli. I had managed to run Top-Run, I | BLARK_translated | Tað er kalt á toppinum men ávegis har niðan dreiv sveittin av mær, og skal eg vera heilt erligur, so var tað ikki fyrr enn eg hevði verið har eina góða løtu, at eg merkti kuldan. Blóðið pumpaði enn runt í kroppinum av harða túrinum úr Kollfjarðardali niðan á Sornfelli. Eg hevði megnað at runnið Top-Run, eg |
While I stood there feeling awkward and out of breath, and my breathing returned to normal, I thought that I absolutely couldn't tolerate this anymore. Now I had to get in better shape; I had to start running. | BLARK_translated | Meðan eg soleiðis stóð illa tilpass við livurhøggi, og fekk andadráttin í rættlag aftur, hugsaði eg, at hetta tímdi eg altso slett ikki longur. Nú skuldi eg í betri form, eg skuldi byrja at renna. |
I got a pair of discarded running shoes from my then-wife, and then I was ready. Running around the lakes by Christianshavn and Christiania was wonderful — smooth and easy — and my fitness kept improving. | BLARK_translated | Eg fekk einar kasseraðar renniskógvar frá táverandi konuni, og so var eg klárur. Rundan um vøtnini við Christianshavn og Christiania var frálíkt at renna, slætt og lætt, og formurin gjørdist betur og betur. |
Later the goals became bigger, and in 2010 I resolved to run a half marathon. I trained purposefully for 8 months, following a structured training program. I participated in the Flag Day Run, the Ólavsøka Run, the Winter Run in Vestmanna and of course the Tórshavn Marathon, where I ran the half marathon distance in a r... | BLARK_translated | Seinni blivu málini størri, og í 2010 setti eg mær fyri, at fara at renna hálvmarathon. Eg vandi málrættað í 8 mánaðir, eftir eini skipaðari venjingarskrá. Eg luttók í Flaggdagsrenning, Ólavsøkurenning, Vetrarrenning í Vestmanna og so sjálvandi Tórshavn Marathon, har eg rann hálva maratonteini í eini heilt hampiligari ... |
I remember when I heard about Top-Run for the first time. Running out of Kollfjørður valley. | BLARK_translated | Eg minnist, tá eg hoyrdi um Top-Run fyrstu ferð. At renna úr Kollfjarðardali |
Down on Sornfelli, it’s really not very sensible. 9.8 km, an uphill all the way and an elevation difference of about 700 meters. Only a masochist would undertake such a trip. | BLARK_translated | niðan á Sornfelli, tað er altso ikki serliga skilagott. 9,8 km, mótbrekka allan vegin og ein hæddarmunur á einar 700 metrar. Bara ein masochist fer undir ein tílíkan túr. |
These same thoughts went through my head when I had run the first 4,500 meters down Oyggjarvegur along the narrow road up to Sornfelli. Here there was hill after hill, and nothing like a flat stretch. What began as tiredness turned into outright pain, and my body did not want this. My mind screamed, are you stupid? Why... | BLARK_translated | Hesir somu tankar fóru gjøgnum høvdið á mær, tá eg hevði runnið fyrstu 4500 metrarnar niðan av Oyggjarvegnum eftir smala vegnum uppá á Sornfelli. Her var brekka omaná brekku, og einki sum líktist einum slætta. Tað sum byrjaði sum møði, bleiv beinleiðis pína, og kroppurin vildi ikki hetta. Heilin skríggjaði, ert tú tápu... |
I am not a masochist, maybe not exactly perverse, but maybe a little, so this did not feel good in any way. | BLARK_translated | Eg eri ikki masochist, kanska ikki beinleiðis erkvisin, men kanska eitt sindur, so hetta kendist ikki gott á nakran hátt. |
I said to the friend who ran at my side, "I think one can die from this." He nodded; there was no comfort there. | BLARK_translated | Eg segði við vinmannin, sum rann við mína lið: „Eg haldi, at man kann doyggja av hesum“. Hann nikkaði, har var eingin troyst. |
I said to him again: "Shut up, this was embarrassing." He nodded back. I said to him: "We will never do this again." Again he nodded. | BLARK_translated | Eg segði aftur við hann: „Halt kjaft hetta var tápuligt“. Hann nikkaði aftur. Eg segði við hann: „Hetta gera vit ongantíð aftur“. Aftur nikkaði hann. |
But they wanted to have one last dance before we started the hard training. | BLARK_translated | Men teir vildu gjarna hava eitt seinasta ball, áðrenn vit fóru undir harða venjing. |
I was sitting at home and saw on the computer that Top-Run was going to take place. Suddenly it seemed interesting, I didn’t think much about it. But when the phone rang and my friends wanted me to come to the dance, the condition was that they would run Top Run with me. They agreed to that. | BLARK_translated | Eg sat við hús og sá á telduni, at Top-Run skuldi verða. Knappliga virkaði tað áhugavert, eg hugsaði ikki so nógv um tað. Men tá telefonin ringdi, og vinmennirnir vildu hava meg í ball, so var treytin, at teir runnu Top Run við mær. Hetta játtaðu teir. |
But here in the hills three weeks later, I forbade myself from my clumsiness. | BLARK_translated | Men her í brekkunum 3 vikur seinni, bannaði eg um mína tápuligheit. |
Around the 8 km mark my body no longer endured the pain. I said to my friend, “Go ahead, I’m going to walk now.” For the last two kilometers I alternated between walking and running; I got cramps in my loins, without doubt considerably worse than the usual pain. | BLARK_translated | Um 8 km markið orkaði mín kroppur ikki pínuna longur. Eg segði við vinmannin: „Far bara, eg fari at ganga nú.“ Seinastu tveir kilometrarnir skiftist eg at ganga og renna; eg fekk krampa í lendarnar, uttan iva munandi verri enn verkir kennast. |
But I tried to shrug it off, and I couldn’t. The hills felt terrible, getting ever steeper. In the last long, steep hill I met a group of young runners who ran down to cheer us on; that helped a bit. As I neared the finish line, a friend came toward me: “1 hour and 10 minutes is a good time,” he said, and something lit... | BLARK_translated | Men eg royndi at smárenna tað av mær, men eg kláraði ikki. Brekkurnar kendust ræðuligar, blivu alsamt brattari. Í síðstu longu og brøttu brekkuni møtti eg ein liði av ungum rennarum, ið runnu oman fyri at eggja okkum, tað hjálpti eitt sindur. Tá eg nærkaðist málstrikuni, kom vinmaðurin ímóti mær: „1 tími og 10 minuttir... |
On the flat stretches the run went quickly, and one banana and a bottle of water later, we were already talking about how we had to try this again, and that next time it should be faster, and I would have to run the whole way. | BLARK_translated | Uppi á sløttum rann møðin skjótt av, og eina banan og eina fløsku av vatn seinni, tosaðu vit longu um, at hetta máttu vit royna aftur, og tá skuldi tað gerast skjótari, og eg skuldi renna allan vegin. |
In several of the country’s evening schools, genealogy is one of the subjects taught, and many are those who seek it out — some of them year after year. | BLARK_translated | Í fleiri av landsins kvøldskúlin er ættargransking ein av lærugreinunum, og mong eru tey, sum leita sær hagar, – nøkur teirra ár um ár. |
Tórshavn Evening, Youth and Art School also has genealogy on the schedule. It is taught there by Ingi Ellingsgaard, and he has been doing so for many years. | BLARK_translated | Tórshavnar Kvøld-, Ungdóms- og Listaskúli hevur eisini ættargransking á skránni. Har undirvísir Ingi Ellingsgaard, og tað hevur hann gjørt seinastu mongu árini. |
Concrete personnel matters should not be dragged into a political battle, as we saw that day in the parliament. | BLARK_translated | Ítøkilig starvsfólkmál eiga ikki at verða drigin inn í eina politiska orrustu, soleiðis sum vit sóu tað hendan dagin í løgtinginum. |
Specific personnel matters, which may include confidential information, do not belong on a parliamentary floor that is meant to represent democracy and the rule of law. And it is in no way acceptable that ordinary citizens or employees are discussed in a parliamentary debate. | BLARK_translated | Ítøkilig starvsfólkmál, sum kunnu innihalda trúnaðarupplýsingar, hoyra ikki heima á einum røðarapalli, sum skal umboða fólkaræði og rættartrygd. Og tað er á ongan hátt í lagi, at vanligir borgarar ella starvsfólk verða umrødd í eini tingviðgerð. |
The Speaker of the Løgting, who is supposed to be the guarantor that the ethical rules for political debate are observed, was not present and did not speak. | BLARK_translated | Løgtingsformaðurin, sum eigur at vera garantur fyri, at etisku reglurnar fyri politisk stríð verða hildnar, var ikki á varðhaldi og talaði ikki at. |
And this is both astonishing and reprehensible, because he must ensure that dignity and polite language prevail within the parliamentary chamber. | BLARK_translated | Og hetta er bæði undrunarvert og átaluvert, tí hann skal tryggja at tign og siðiligur málburður valda innan tinggátt. |
It became apparent that a whistleblower system must be implemented as soon as possible. | BLARK_translated | Tað gekk sjón fyri søgn, at ein whistleblow skipan má setast í verk ongantíð ov skjótt. |
Christmas is here again. Inexplicable and true that time flows like a stream into the year. | BLARK_translated | Jólini eru aftur í hondum. Óskiljandi og satt, at tíðin rennur sum streymur í á. |
Where do the days go and what do we get out of the days that are given to us? | BLARK_translated | Hvar fara dagarnir og hvat fáa vit burturúr døgunum, okkum eru givnir? |
International Children's Rights Day was November 20. At the same time, it was once again highlighted that many children here live at risk of poverty. In the Faroe Islands. | BLARK_translated | Altjóða barnarættindadagur var 20. novembur. Samstundis var enn einaferð varpað ljós á, at herheima eru mong børn, ið liva í fátækraváða. Í Føroyum. |
In his speech on Ólavsøka the Prime Minister slammed the door on tax cuts being given to low- and middle-income earners. We saw a grin | BLARK_translated | Í røðu síni á ólavsøku gloppaði løgmaður dyrnar fyri, at skattalættar fóru at verða givnir lág- og miðalløntum. Vit hómaðu ein glotta |
and want to narrow the gaps that the regressive and unevenly distributed flat tax has caused. That there was a will to distribute the benefits differently. It should pay to work for everyone. | BLARK_translated | og vilja at smalka tær gjáir, ið skeivt fíggjaði og ójavnt býtti flatskatturin hevur havt við sær. At ein vilji var at býta ágóðarnar øðrvísi. Tað skal loysa seg at arbeiða fyri øll. |
So it therefore would not be any better to work for those with lower incomes. It still only pays off if you, as a low- or middle-income earner, work more—much more than your full working hours. | BLARK_translated | Tað skuldi tískil ikki loysa seg betur at arbeiða fyri tey við lægru inntøkunum. Framvegis bert loysa seg, um tú sum lág- og miðalløntur arbeiðir meira, væl meira enn tín fulla arbeiðsbrøk. |
