The vision includes 6 focus areas that work is carried out from. | BLARK_translated | Starvsmannafelagið fekk niðurfelt sína visión fyri felagið fyri tveimum árum síðan, og tað hevur verið arbeitt miðvíst við konkretum uppgávum út frá hesi visión síðan tá.

The annual conference, organized by the trade union NTR – Nordisk Tjenestemands Råd – was held at the HK training center, which is located in Christiansminde near Svendborg, on the days August 17–20, 2014. | BLARK_translated | Árliga ráðstevnan, sum fakfelagsskapurin NTR – Nordisk Tjenestemands Råd skipar fyri – varð hildin á skeiðsdeplinum hjá HK, ið liggur í Christiansminde við Svendborg, í døgunum 17.- 20. august 2014. |
The union and the trade union movement: The conference focused on how the members and the union will face common challenges in working life in the future. | BLARK_translated | Limurin og fakfelagsrørslan: Ráðstevnan setti fokus á, hvussu limirnir og fakfelagið møta felags avbjóðingum í arbeiðslívinum í framtíðini. |
In the second round of discussions, among other things, the following topics will be debated: Youth and apprentices, evaluations and cooperation between municipalities and trade unions, what the trade union can offer for a more balanced working life, and the right person in the right place. | BLARK_translated | Í seinna kjakumfarinum vað millum annað kjakast um hesi evnini: Ungdómurin og lærlingar, Eftirmetingar og samstarv millum kommunur og fakfeløgini, Hvat kann fakfelagið geva fyri eitt meira balansera arbeiðslív, Rætti persónurin á rætta plássinum. |

This was well received, as the participants consider it very important to see how they work at institutions in other Nordic countries. | BLARK_translated | Eisini varð vitja á stovnum. Hetta var væl móttikið, tí luttakararnir meta tað av stórum týdningi, at síggja hvussu tey arbeiða á stovnum í øðrum norðurlondum. |
Kristine Sticker Hestbech, a priest who is also well known here in the Faroe Islands, concluded the conference with a lecture entitled "A Work and Family Life in Balance." This was a lecture that received a very good reception and sparked many thoughts for most people. | BLARK_translated | Kristine Sticker Hestbech, prestur, sum eisini er vælkend her í Føroyum, endaði ráðstevnuna við fyrilestri undir heitinum „Eitt arbeiðs- og familjulív í javnvág“.

As part of the regular visits around the country, the board and administration of the Staff Association were named in 2014 and visited members and institutions in Vágur and in Sandoy. | BLARK_translated | Sum liður í føstu vitjanunum kring landið vóru nevnd og umsiting Starvsmannafelagsins í 2014 og vitjaðu limir og stovnar í Vágum og í Sandoynni. |
In May we visited six workplaces in Vágur. In addition to Vágar Airport we visited the Alcohol Retail Store, the Maritime Administration, the Telecom Shop, Vágar Municipality and Sørvágur Municipality.

In June the trip went to Sandoy, where we visited five workplaces: the Information Office, the Post Office, the janitors at the Main School and the Rúsa (alcohol store) in Sandur, and the supervisory staff in Skálavík municipality. In the evening there was a member event in the summer houses of the Staff Association in... | BLARK_translated | Í juni gekk leiðin í Sandoynna, har vit vitjaðu fimm arbeiðspláss: Kunningarstovuna, Posta, húsavørðirnar á Meginskúlanum og Rúsuna á Sandi og umsjónarfólkið í Skálavíkar kommunu. Um kvøldið var limatiltak í summarhúsunum hjá Starvsmannafelagnum í Skálavík, har kunnað var um felagið, heimasíðuna og um pensjónir. |
Therefore we have chosen again this year to order 200 admission tickets; this time the cost is 750 kr., because there will be big names at the festival this year. EVENING SOCIAL | BLARK_translated | Tí hava vit valt aftur í ár at bíleggja 200 atgongumerki, hesaferð verður kostnaðurin 750 kr., hetta tí at tað vera stór nøvn við á festivalinum í ár. HUGNAKVØLD |
And the number was no smaller when we sat down at the cozy and beautifully set tables at half past seven. | BLARK_translated | Og talið var ikki minni, tá ið vit sessaðust við tey hugnaligu og prýddu borðini um hálvgum átta tíðina. |
Jens Marni Hansen sang and played while we had a light bite with almond rice on top. We also had coffee and other good things to drink. The communal singing went cheerfully and it was well past midnight before the last ones thanked everyone and left. | BLARK_translated | Jens Marni Hansen sang og spældi, meðan vit fingu okkum ein lættari bita við mandlurísi omaná. Eisini fingu vit kaffi og annað gott at drekka. Felagssangurin gekk lystiliga og farið varð væl um midnátt, áðrenn tey seinastu takkaðu fyri seg. |
The cozy evening is a good opportunity for workplaces in the collective bargaining area of the Union of Professional Employees to get together and have a good time with their colleagues. | BLARK_translated | Hugnakvøldið er eitt gott høvi hjá arbeiðsplássum á sáttmálaøkinum hjá Starvsmannafelagnum at koma saman at hugna sær saman við starvsfeløgunum. |
The board and management thank you all for the past year. Another eventful year has been added to the association’s history and we know that an interesting year also lies ahead. The aim and foundation remains continuously to strengthen and protect the members’ rights and choirs. | BLARK_translated | Nevnd og umsiting takka tykkum øllum fyri farna árið. Enn eitt hendingaríkt ár er lagt afturat søgu felagsins og vit vita, at eitt áhugavert ár eisini liggur fyri framman. Málið og stavnhaldið er framvegis áhaldandi at styrkja og verja limanna rættindi og kor. |
Representatives of the political parties are inclined to arrange things so that the psychological environment in the workplace is improved and that pressure at workplaces is eliminated. This emerged at a debate meeting the Civil Servants’ Association organized in the Media House about the psychological work environment... | BLARK_translated | Umboð fyri politisku flokkarnar eru sinnað at skipa so fyri, at sálarliga umhvørvið á arbeiðsmarknaðinum verður betri, og at tað slepst undan strongd á arbeiðsplássum. Tað kom fram á kjakfundi Starvsmannafelagið skipaði fyri í Miðlahúsinum um sálarligt arbeiðsumhvørvi. |
The chairwoman of the Staff Association, Selma Ellingsgaard, welcomed everyone. She briefly explained the survey and its results, emphasizing the importance of taking the matter very seriously and of prioritizing the psychological work environment. | BLARK_translated | Forkvinnan í Starvsmannafelagnum, Selma Ellingsgaard, bjóðaði vælkomin. Hon greidi stutt frá kanningini og úrslitinum, hon legði dent á týdningin av at taka máli í størsta álvara og at sálarliga arbeiðsumhvørvið verður raðfesta. |
A trend in society today is that people individually seek help, and that is by no means always the right solution. I think that this is to a large extent a leadership question, said Hanna Jensen. | BLARK_translated | Eitt rák í samfelagnum í dag er, at fólk einsæris leita sær hjálp, og tað er als ikki altíð rætta loysnin. Eg haldi, at hetta í stóran mun er ein leiðsluspurningur, segði Hanna Jensen. |
Bjarni Djurholm, a member of the Faroese parliament, represented the People’s Party. He considered this to be an extremely big and serious issue. | BLARK_translated | Bjarni Djurholm, løgtingsmaður, umboðaði Fólkaflokkin. Hann helt hetta vera ein ómetaliga stóran og álvarsligan spurning. |
The Minister of Trade, Johan Dahl, believed that this common illness, called greed, is unlikely to be something politicians or others have paid enough attention to. | BLARK_translated | Landsstýrismaðurin í vinnumálum, Johan Dahl, helt fyri, at hendan fólkasjúkan, sum eitur strongd, neyvan er nakað, politikarar ella onnur hava givið sær nóg nógv far um. |
It is quite alarming that we have so many people who are on sick leave because of stress. This is unfortunate for those affected, and besides that it costs a lot of money. | BLARK_translated | Tað er rættiliga alarmerandi, at vit hava so nógv fólk, sum verða sjúkrameldað orsakað av strongd. Hetta er harmiligt fyri tey, ið vera rakt, og haraftrat kostar hetta nógvan pening. |
Frank Jacobsen represented the Centre Party. He maintained that when we talk about strictness, we know | BLARK_translated | Frank Jacobsen umboðaði Miðflokkin. Hann helt, at tá vit tosa um strongd, vita |
we, that it affects the whole society financially, sickness benefits, loss of working capacity. But we must not forget that it certainly impacts the individual themselves. | BLARK_translated | vit, at tað ávirkar alt samfelagið fíggjarliga, sjúkrapeningur, mistur arbeiðsførleiki. Men vit mugu ikki gloyma, at tað sanniliga gongur út yvir einstaklingin sjálvan. |
When an individual is affected by addiction, the workplace is also affected, friends and not least the family are affected as well, he said. | BLARK_translated | Tá ein einstaklingur verður raktur av strongd, verður eisini arbeiðsplássið rakt, vinfólk og ikki minst familjan verða eisini rakt, segði hann. |
she said that she had read the report with interest. She thought the results of the survey were very similar to the situation in the neighboring countries. | BLARK_translated | segði, at hon hevði lisið frágreiðingina við áhuga. Hon helt úrslitini í kanningini minna nógv um støðuna í grannalondunum. |
Eyðgunn Samuelsen, of the Social Democratic Party, said that the survey by the Civil Servants’ Association has really put this issue on the agenda. | BLARK_translated | Eyðgunn Samuelsen, í Javnaðarflokkinum, helt, at kanningin hjá Starvsmannafelagnum veruliga hevur sett hetta málið á dagsskránna. |
Often it is the public workplaces that are associated with violence. But Eyðgunn Samuelsen argued that the municipalities, which are responsible for various kinds of nursing homes, also need to step up in the fight to curb violence in the workplace. | BLARK_translated | Mangan eru tað almennu arbeiðsplássini, ið verða sett í samband við strongd. Men Eyðgunn Samuelsen helt, at kommunurnar, sum varða av eldraheimum av ymsum slag, eisini mugu fram á vøllin í stríðnum at basa strongd á arbeiðsplássum. |
We must also look at what each individual can do. And here I think that the Public Health Council could also be used, said Eyðgunn Samuelsen. Johan Dahl, the minister, maintained that it is primarily the workplace that has the responsibility for ensuring that the working environment at the workplace is in order. | BLARK_translated | Vit skulu eisini hyggja eftir, hvat tann einstaki kann gera. Og her hugsi eg, at Fólkaheilsuráðið eisini kundi verið brúkt, segði Eyðgunn Samuelsen. Johan Dahl, landsstýrismaður, helt, at tað fyrst og fremst er arbeiðsplássið, sum hevur ábyrgdina av, at arbeiðsumhvørvið á arbeiðsplássinum er ílagi. |
That is precisely what is important to stress, and therefore it is not just a political issue. Of course the political authorities must have a plan for how we get things to work satisfactorily in terms of the working environment. That is why a tripartite solution involving the political base, employers, and those who r... | BLARK_translated | Júst tað er týdningarmikið at sláa fast, og tískil er tað ikki bara ein politiskur spurningur. Sjálvandi skal politiski myndugleikin hava eina ætlan fyri, hvussu vit fáa tingini at rigga nøktandi arbeiðsumhvørvisliga. Tí er tað týdningarmikið við eini trípartaloysn við politiska baklandinum, arbeiðsgevarum, og teimum, ... |
Bjarni Djurholm agreed with Johan Dahl. He also believes that the responsibility primarily lies out in the workplace. | BLARK_translated | Bjarni Djurholm var samdur við Johan Dahl. Hann heldur eisini, at ábyrgdin fyrst og fremst er úti á arbeiðsplássinum. |
For me there is no doubt that a thoughtful leadership, which is clear in its statements, that is interested in the wishes coming from the staff, and does not shirk responsibility, is important, said Bjarni Djurholm. | BLARK_translated | Fyri mær er ongin ivi um, at ein umhugsin leiðsla, sum er greið í sínum útmeldingum, og sum er áhuga í ynskjum, ið koma frá starvsfólkunum, og ikki rennur undan ábyrgd, er týdningarmikil, segði Bjarni Djurholm. |
Frank Jacobsen pointed out the importance of individual workers also having responsibility. That each individual can say, “I managed this,” and here are the limits of what I can and cannot do.” | BLARK_translated | Frank Jacobsen vísti á týdningin av, at einstaka arbeiðsfólkið eisini hevur ábyrgd. At hin einstaki dugir at siga, at hetta makti eg, og her er markið fyri, hvat eg kann og ikki kann. |
Therefore I believe it is important that you have a clear dialogue between management and staff, so that you dare | BLARK_translated | Tí haldi eg tað vera týdningarmikið, at tú hevur ein greiðan dialog millum leiðslu og starvsfólk, soleiðis at tú torir |
Eyðgunn Samuelsen pointed out that the public sector is a major employer, and that there are many problems with harassment in public workplaces. She also highlighted the importance of tripartite cooperation between politicians, employers, and the trade unions. Selma Ellingsgaard agreed with this and pointed out that tr... | BLARK_translated | Eyðgunn Samuelsen vísti á, at tað almenna er ein stórur arbeiðsgevari, og at nógvir trupulleikar við strongd eru á almennum arbeiðsplássum. Hon vísti eisini á týdningin av einum trípartasamstarvi millum tað politiska, arbeiðsgevarar og fakfeløgini. Selma Ellingsgaard tók undir við hesum og vísti á, at trípartasamstarv ... |
One of the listeners was Suni Poulsen, a psychologist. He said in a comment that it is actually easy to heal people with confinement, because to a large extent it can be resolved through conversations. He added that his clear understanding is that private workplaces are much better at dealing with their employees than ... | BLARK_translated | Ein av áhoyrarunum var Suni Poulsen, sálarfrøðingur. Hann segði í eini viðmerking, at tað í veruleikanum er lætt at lekja fólk við strongd, tí tað í stóran mun kann loysast við samrøðum. Hann legði aftrat, at hansara greiða fatan er, at privat arbeiðspláss duga nógv betur at fara við sínum starvsfólkum enn tað almenna. |
This is exactly the opposite of what we understood before, said Suni Poulsen. Another listener, Anna Johannesen, objected to the statements by especially Johan Dahl and Bjarna Djurholm, that the problem is primarily with the employers. | BLARK_translated | Hetta er jú beint tað øvugta av tí, vit høvdu fatan av fyrr, segði Suni Poulsen. Ein annar áhoyrari, Anna Johannesen, fanst at útsagnunum hjá serliga Johan Dahl og Bjarna Djurholm, um at trupulleikin fyrst og fremst er hjá arbeiðsgevarunum. |
to the political authorities, who create the framework for employees in the public labour market, said Anna Johannesen. | BLARK_translated | hjá politiska myndugleikanum, sum skapar rammurnar um starvsfólkini á almenna arbeiðsmarknaðinum, segði Anna Johannesen. |
Although the number of members who are confirmed to have serious illness has decreased, it is still high. | BLARK_translated | Hóast talið av limum, ið fáa staðfesta álvarsliga sjúku, er minkað, er tað framvegis høgt. |
The annual meeting of the Employee Union’s Insurance Fund will this year be held on Shrove Tuesday, March 12. The meeting is normally held in the premises of the Employee Union in Tórshavn, but because the property in J.H. Schrøtersgøta is being renovated, the meeting will this year be held in the Café under Bryggjubak... | BLARK_translated | Aðalfundurin hjá Samlagstryggingargrunni Starvsmannafelagsins verður í ár hildin á Grækarismessu, tann 12. mars. Vanliga verður fundurin hildin í hølunum hjá Starvsmannafelagnum í Tórshavn, men av tí at ognin í J.H.Schrøtersgøtu verður umbygd, verður fundurin í ár hildin í Kaffihúsinum undir Bryggjubakka. |
At the general meeting there will be a report on the activities of the association during the past fiscal year and there will also be information about the plans for the coming fiscal year. The accounts will be presented and the election of board members is also on the agenda. | BLARK_translated | Á aðalfundinum verður greitt frá um virki grunsins í farna roknskaparári og verður eisini sagt frá hvørjar ætlanirnar eru fyri komandi virkisár. Roknskapurin verður framlagdur og val av nevndarlimum er eisini a skránni. |
The main function of the Pension Insurance Fund is to purchase insurance that provides benefits in the event of death or in the case of certain serious illnesses. | BLARK_translated | Fremsta virki hjá Samlagstryggingargrunninum er at keypa tryggingar, ið geva veitingar við deyða ella við ávísar hættisligar sjúkur. |
the process would have been different if damages had not occurred, but the help that the fund provides may possibly help to ease things for those who have experienced illness or death. | BLARK_translated | gongdin hevði verið, um skaðar ikki komu fyri, men tann hjálpin, ið grunnurin veitir, kann møguliga vera við at linna um hjá teimum, ið hava verið fyri sjúku ella deyða. |
Nor were we spared human loss in 2014. Two of our members died and, in addition to this, six bereavement payments were made in connection with the deaths of spouses. | BLARK_translated | Heldur ikki í 2014 eru vit sloppin undan menniskjaligum missi. Tveir av limum okkara doyðu og lat grunnurin aftrat hesum eisini seks útgjøld í sambandi við deyða hjá hjúnafelaga. |
Although the number of confirmed serious illnesses has decreased, there were still eleven who received benefits in connection with illness. There were no reports of serious illnesses among children in 2014. | BLARK_translated | Hóast talið av staðfestum álvarsligum sjúkum er minkað, so vóru tó ellivu, ið fingu útgjald í sambandi við sjúku. Ongar fráboðanir vóru um álvarsligar sjúkur hjá børnum í 2014. |
After the contribution changes in 2010 the fund also undertakes to grant payment relief to members who become unable to work, so that they can continue to maintain their membership in the fund and be covered by the insurances that the fund purchases. Twenty members have now been granted payment relief. | BLARK_translated | Aftaná viðtøkubroytingarnar í 2010 átekur grunnurin sær eisini at veita limum, ið gerast óarbeiðsførir, gjaldsundantøku, so at hesir framhaldandi kunnu varðveita limaskapin i grunninum og verða fataðir av teimum tryggingum, ið grunnurin keypir. Tjúgu limir hava nú fingið játtaða gjaldsundantøku. |
paid out about four million kroner in final amount. When the final amount is gone in 2028, the foundation will only, at a steady level, purchase various insurances on behalf of the members. | BLARK_translated | útgoldnar um fýra milliónir krónur í lokaupphædd. Tá lokaupphæddin í 2028 er burtur, kemur grunnurin bert, á samhaldsføstum støði, at keypa ymsar tryggingar vegna limirnar. |
The meeting will be, as mentioned above, on Thursday evening, March 12 at 7:00 PM in the Coffee House, Bryggjubakki 14, Tórshavn. | BLARK_translated | Fundurin verður, sum nevnt oman fyri, hóskvøldið 12. mars klokkan 19 í Kaffihúsinum,. Bryggjubakki 14, Tórshavn. |
The salary increases on January 1, 2015 by 1.98% and in 2016 it increases by 2.25%. This increase is at the same level as what other unions/associations have received. | BLARK_translated | Lønin hækkar 1. januar 2015 1,98 % og 2016 hækkar hon 2,25 %. Hendan hækking er á sama stigi, sum onnur feløg hava fingið. |
First of all, the union has obtained in the agreement that when new people are employed under the agreement, a meeting will be arranged between the staff and the union representatives as part of the introduction to the position. | BLARK_translated | Í fyrsta lagi hevur felagið fingið í sáttmálan, at tá nýggj fólk verða sett í starv eftir sáttmálanum, verður skipað fyri fundi millum starvsfólkið og felagsálitisfólkið, sum partur av innføringini í starvið. |
The purpose of the meeting is to give the union representatives the opportunity to inform about membership in the Civil Servants' Union. This meeting will be held before the employment contract is signed. | BLARK_translated | Endamálið við fundinum er at geva felagsálitisfólkinum høvið at kunna um limaskap í Starvsmannafelagnum. Hesin fundur verður hildin áðrenn setanarprógvið verður undirskrivað. |
This is an important step forward. This gives us the opportunity to inform staff about their rights and the benefits of being organized in a trade union, says Selma Ellingsgaard. | BLARK_translated | Hetta er eitt týðandi framstig. Hetta gevur okkum høvi at kunna starvsfólkini um rættindi og fyrimunir annars við at verða skipað í fakfelag, sigur Selma Ellingsgaard. |
In addition to what is mentioned here, certain changes and adjustments have been made to the contracts. | BLARK_translated | Umframt tað, sum her er nevnt, eru gjørdar ávísar broytingar og tillagingar í sáttmálunum. |
In recent many years, the Employees’ Association has elected the union’s member representative of the year at the association’s general meeting. This is because the association considers that the work carried out by representatives is of great importance — both for the association, members and management. Work that per... | BLARK_translated | Seinastu nógvu árini hevur Starvsmannafelagið kosið ársins álitisfólk á aðalfundi felagsins. Hetta tí felagið metir, at arbeiði sum álitisfólk gera, er av stórum týdningi – bæði fyri felagið, limir og leiðslur. Eitt arbeiði, ið kanska ikki altíð verður nóg virðismett. |
It is often difficult to choose between who should receive the honor. The board has therefore, among other things, looked at the following criteria: Experience as trusted representatives – Active in trade union matters – Worked to protect the rights and duties of employees/members. | BLARK_translated | Ofta er ringt at velja ímillum, hvør skal hava heiðurin. Nevndin hevur tí m.a. hugt eftir hesum kriterium: Royndir sum álitisfólk – Virkin í fakfelagshøpi – Arbeitt fyri at vart rættindi og skyldur hjá starvsfólki/felag. |
The Union of Employees is not a political party, and we will not be in the parliament. We are politically independent. Nevertheless, the interests of a trade union like ours are connected to politics and the political system. And therefore we must work to gain political support for our interests. | BLARK_translated | Starvsmannafelagið er ikki ein politiskur flokkur, og vit skulu ikki í løgtingið. Vit eru partapolitiskt óheft. Kortini eru áhugamálini hjá einum fakfelag, sum okkara, tengd at politikki og politisku skipanini. Og tí mugu vit virka fyri at fáa politiska undirtøku fyri okkara áhugamálum. |
Let me first mention a few examples of matters that have had a direct impact on the union's members, without our having had much opportunity to influence the decisions and, not least, what impact this has had on the union's members: | BLARK_translated | Lat meg fyrst nevna nøkur dømi um mál, sum hava havt beinleiðis ávirkan á limir felagsins, uttan at vit hava havt stórvegis møguleika fyri at ávirka avgerðirnar og ikki minst, hvørja ávirkan hetta hevur havt fyri limir felagsins: |
Taxation of the pension at the same time caused the pension tax to increase by 5%. | BLARK_translated | Forskatting av eftirlønini sum samstundis gjørdi at eftirlønarskatturin hækkaði við 5 % |
The flat tax system mostly gives a tax break to those who were already well paid. Low- and middle-income earners get little or no benefit from this. | BLARK_translated | Flatskattaskipanin sum mest av øllum gevur teimum, ið frammanundan eru væl lønt, skattalættan. Lág- og meðallønt fáa lítlan og ongan ágóða av hesum. |
Except for this. Everything is just calculated so that some politicians might be able to win a few extra votes to expand the travel schedule. Basically writing an invoice without a host. | BLARK_translated | undantikin hesum. Alt rokið bara so, at nakrir politikarar kanska kunnu vinna sær nakrar eyka atkvøður fyri at víðka um ferðaætlanina. Við so at siga at skriva rokning uttan vert. |
The Civil Servants' Association should, first and foremost, have regular communication with the political parties. We should carry out lobbying activities that serve the common interests of the association's members. | BLARK_translated | Starvsmannafelagið eigur sum tað fyrsta at hava regluligt samskifti við teir politisku flokkarar. Vit eiga at fremja lobbyvirksemi, har tað tænir limanna felags áhugamálum. |
Another aspect is constantly highlighting and trying to influence all political parties on issues that concern our members. The Civil Servants’ Association is an important actor in the Faroese labor market, and therefore it falls to us to put issues on the agenda that can improve conditions for the members. The latest ... | BLARK_translated | Ein annar táttur er støðugt at varpa ljós á og royna at ávirka allar politiskar flokkar í málum, sum viðkoma okkara limum.

In the election year 2015 the association has chosen some core issues. Issues that we as an association consider to be of great importance to all of us. Common trade union issues that we want to shed light on, and that we would gladly like to see back on the party platforms of the political parties and in a future coal... | BLARK_translated | Í valárinum 2015 hevur felagið kosið sær nøkur kjarnumál.

Asanti sana means a thousand thanks in Swahili. This was one of the few words I learned when, in my mid-forties, together with my sister, I worked as a volunteer in the small village of Jora in Kenya far from any paved road. This was through the organization Mellemfolkeligt Samvirke. In the village there was neither el... | BLARK_translated | Asanti sana merkir túsund takk á Swahili. Hetta var eitt av fáu orðunum eg lærdi, tá eg mitt í fýrsunum, saman við systur míni, arbeiddi sum sjálvboðin í lítlu bygdini Jora í Kenja langt frá alfara vegi. Hetta var gjøgnum felagsskapin Mellemfolkeligt Samvirke. Í bygdini var hvørki elektrisitet ella rennandi vatn. Vit b... |
He touches the bag, kind of wants to examine how it works and wants to try to keep the bag. We communicate with various “gestures” between us, and I quickly find out that he has never before seen such a plastic carry bag. He signals that he wants to make an exchange. Yes, I think that if he was so interested in the bag... | BLARK_translated | Hann nertir við posan, hevur líkasum hug at kanna, hvussu hann fungeraði og vil prøva at halda posanum.

This story comes to me now in December, when I drag myself home with five plastic bags. One from a clothing store in the city centre, one from a jewelry shop, two from grocery stores and one that contains two pairs of shoes I bought. | BLARK_translated | Henda søgan kemur fram fyri meg nú í desember, tá eg komið dragandi heim við fimm plastikkposum. Ein frá klædnahandli í miðbýnum, ein frá smýkkuhandli, tveir frá matvøruhandli og ein, har eg havi tvey pør av skóm í. |
When I’m finished unpacking after this shopping trip, I have five plastic bags that I add to all the other bags I own. They can all be reused. Either as fruit-and-vegetable bags, shopping bags, or bags for storing something in. They are indispensable. | BLARK_translated | Tá eg eri liðug at pakka út aftaná henda handilstúrin, havi eg fimm beriposar, sum eg leggi saman við øllum hinum posunum, eg eigi. Teir kunnu allir endurnýtast. Antin sum skrelliposi, innkeypsposi ella posi at goyma eitthvørt í. Teir eru ómissandi. |
But all the rest, we should reduce and cut, and best of all – divide more evenly. | BLARK_translated | Men alt hitt, eiga vit at minka um og skerja, og allarbest – at býta javnari. |
The union houses of the Employees’ Association on J. H. Schrøtersgøta in Tórshavn will be unrecognizable after the renovation. Especially now that they are being connected with the neighboring building to the north — the former television building — when the entire construction project is finished around the turn of th... | BLARK_translated | Felagshúsini hjá Starvsmannafelagnum í J. H. Schrøtersgøtu í Havn verða ikki at kenna aftur eftir umbyggingina. Ikki minst nú tey verða samanbundin við grannaognina fyri norðan, – fyrrverandi sjónvarpshúsini, tá øll byggiverkætlanin verður liðug um ársskiftið. |
The construction company Eysturlon in Velbastað, which has the main contract, has together with its subcontractors really gotten underway with this quite large and demanding work. The old community houses are all being clad and timbered on the outside and several windows facing the road in the large meeting room on the... | BLARK_translated | Byggifyritøkan Eysturlon á Velbastað, sum hevur høvuðsarbeiðstøkuna, er saman við sínum undirarbeiðstakarum veruliga farin í gongd við hetta rættiliga stóra og krevjandi arbeiði.

Ragnar Guttesen, who is the project manager, expects that if things go as planned, the work will be finished around the turn of the year. | BLARK_translated | Ragnar Guttesen, sum er projektleiðari, roknar við, at gongst sum ætlað, verður arbeiðið liðugt um ársskiftið. |
It was hardly entirely by chance that the Kollafjørður native Hans Jacob Petersen at a young age became interested in chess, because it was a fairly common pastime in his hometown. People from Kollafjørður had a chess club and often did well in the competitions they took part in. For several years Hans Jacob was one of... | BLARK_translated | Tað var neyvan heilt av tilvild, at kollfirðingurin Hans Jacob Petersen á ungum aldri fekk áhuga fyri telving, tí hetta var rættiliga vanligt ítriv í heimbygdini. Kollfirðingar høvdu talvfelag og stóðu seg mangan væl í teimum kappingum, teir luttóku í. Í nøkur ár var Hans Jacob ein teirra, sum mannaðu bygdarliðið, og m... |
One can only say that chess is a very peaceful game, but even though it is very important that you are in good physical condition, strange as it may seem. | BLARK_translated | Ikki kann annað sigast enn at talv er eitt sera friðarligt spæl, men hóast tað er sera týdningarmikið, at tú er í góðari konditión, so løgið tað kann tykjast. |
Hans Jacob has also taken part in other sports. He has also rowed competitively, and was involved in 1975, the first | BLARK_translated | Hans Jacob hevur eisini verið við í øðrum ítrótti. Hann hevur eisini róð kapp, og var við í 1975, fyrstu |
Hans Jacob remembers that, as elsewhere, four-player chess was also played in Kollafjørður. He himself has tried it too, and, to keep up this tradition, the four of them who meet once a year play four-player chess. | BLARK_translated | Hans Jacob minnist, at eins og aðrastaðni var eisini fýrtalv telvað í Kollafirði. Sjálvur hevur hann eisini roynt tað, og, fyri at halda hetta viðlíka, eru teir fýra sum hittast eina ferð um árið at telva fýrtalv. |
Like with numbers, bridge can seem very difficult to many, but Hans Jacob is convinced that everyone can learn to play. | BLARK_translated | Eins og við talvinum, kann bridge tykjast sera torført fyri mong, men Hans Jacob er sannførdur um, at øll kunnu læra at spæla |
Six-oared boats competed for the Faroese championship. Old six-oared boats had taken part in competitive rowing for several years, but the first to get new six-oared boats were people from Kollafjørður and Hósvík. | BLARK_translated | ferð 6-mannafør kappaðust um føroyameistaraheitið. Gomul seksmannafør høvdu verið við í kappróðri í fleiri ár, men fyrstu, sum fingu sær nýggj 6-mannafør, vóru kollfirðingar og hósvíkingar. |
You had to admit that it was difficult for the smaller villages to crew the larger boats, and therefore in Kollafjørður we decided together with the people of Hósvík to build our own six-man boats. Niclas í Koltri built both boats and we were the only ones who raced in 1975, but later other clubs also joined in. Now th... | BLARK_translated | Vit máttu ásanna, at trupult var hjá smærri bygdunum at manna størru bátarnar, og tí avráddu vit í Kollafirði við hósvíkingar, at smíða okkum hvør sítt seksmannafar. Niclas í Koltri smíðaði báðar bátarnar og vit vóru teir einastu, sum kappaðust í 1975, men seinri komu onnur feløg eisini við. Nú eru seksmanna-førini stø... |
Some people think that rowing machines are about to take the life out of amateur racing, now that people train all year round. | BLARK_translated | Onkur heldur, at rógvimaskinurnar eru um at taka lívið av amatørkappóðrinum, nú vant verður alt árið. |
Of course there is a risk that amateur rowing is about to become a thing of the past, so if you hope to make a name for yourself in rowing you must train diligently and all year round. People may have their own opinions about that, but there is no doubt that people are taking competitive rowing more seriously today. An... | BLARK_translated | Tað er sjálvandi vandi fyri, at amatørróðurin er um at fara í søguna, tí skal tú gera tær nakrar vónir um at gera teg galdandi í róðrinum, má venjast dúgliga og alt árið. Tað kann man so hava sínar meiningar um, men at fólk taka kappróðurin meira seriøsan í dag er einki at ivast í. Og tað er bara gott, heldur Hans Jaco... |
Recently we have seen a brutal assault on Kringvarp Føroya. An assault that did not diminish after the institution was recently judged in the Faroese Court. Statements such as “political persecution,” “witch-hunt,” and “turn off the damn thing” were heard and read. Not only ordinary people, but also some politicians ca... | BLARK_translated | Seinastu tíðina hava vit sæð ein ógvusligan ágang á Kringvarp Føroya. Ein ágang, sum ikki gjørdist minni eftir at stovnurin herfyri varð dømdur í Føroya Rætti. Útsagnir sum „politisk forfylging“, „hetz“ og „sløkkið lortið“, vóru at hoyra og lesa. Ikki bert vanlig fólk, men eisini summir politikarar, høvdu á lofti at ve... |
As the union for many of the employees at Kringvarp Føroya and with a contract for the sector, we want to emphasize the importance of having a strong and independent public service institution. An institution that is so strong that it can ensure reliable public information, debate and, last but not least, keep watch ov... | BLARK_translated | Sum fakfelag hjá fleiri av starvsfólkunum í Kringvarpi Føroya og við sáttmála fyri økið vilja vit leggja dent á týdningin av, at vit hava ein sterkan og óheftan public servicestovn. Ein stovn, sum er so sterkur, at hann kann tryggjar holla samfelagsupplýsing, kjak og síðst, men ikki minst hava eftirlit við valdshavarun... |
Let it be stated firmly that Kringvarp Føroya not only has the right but also the duty to act as a public watchdog. This follows directly from the guidelines on good journalistic conduct and is likewise affirmed by the courts. | BLARK_translated | Lat tað verða sligið fast, at Kringvarp Føroya hevur ikki bert rætt, men eisini skyldu at virka sum almennur varðhundur, „Public Watchdog“. Hetta fylgir beinleiðis av leiðreglunum um góðan fjølmiðlasið og er somuleiðis staðfest av dómstólunum. |
Those who practice critical journalism will constantly travel to the edges of the law. Internal procedures must therefore always allow room for critical evaluation and professional self-examination. And we also know that will be done. Of course. | BLARK_translated | Tann, sum fæst við kritiskan journalistikk fer støðugt at ferðast uppat lógarinnar marki. Innanhýsis má tí allatíðina verða pláss fyri kritiskari eftirmeting og fakligari sjálvrannsakan. Og tað vita vit eisini verður gjørt. Sjálvsagt. |
The Broadcasting Corporation can of course make mistakes. On the other hand, there must never be any doubt that critical journalism is a core function of the Broadcasting Corporation, which we must all protect. All talk of shutting down the Broadcasting Corporation and cutting off critical journalists is harmful talk t... | BLARK_translated | Kringvarpið kann sjálvsagt gera feilir. Hinvegin má ongantíð nakar ivi verða um, at kritiskur journalistikkur er eitt kjarnufunktión í Kringvarpinum, sum vit øll mugu gera manngarð um. Alt tos um at avtaka Kringvarpið og avhøvda kritiskar journalistar er skaðiligt tos, sum als ikki hoyrir heima í einum framkomnum samfe... |
with a good result That says Ragnhild Mørkøre, who was involved in the entire process in connection with the merger of what became Sunda municipality | BLARK_translated | við góðum úrsliti Tað sigur Ragnhild Mørkøre, sum var við í allari tilgongdini í sambandi við samanleggingina av tí sum gjørdist Sunda kommuna |

When six municipalities merge like this, there is no guarantee that all the former municipalities will get representation on the municipal council. But the elections have nevertheless shown that these all have representation on the council in the merged municipality, and local committees have therefore been unnecessary... | BLARK_translated | Tá seks kommunur soleiðis leggja saman, er eingin trygd fyri, at allar fyrrverandi kommunurnar fáa umboðan í kommunustýrið. Men valini hava tó víst, at hesar hava allar umboð í kommunustýrinum í samanløgdu kommununi, og hevur tí verið óneyðugt við staðbundnum nevndum. |
As I see it, there have only been advantages to the merger, both for us as employees and not least for the citizens and the municipality as a whole. For us employees it is more exciting, challenging and undoubtedly also more efficient than if we each sat in our own little district. And the administration is not so big ... | BLARK_translated | Fyri mær at síggja hava bert fyrimunir verið við samanleggingini, bæði fyri okkum sum starvsfólk og ikki minni fyri borgaran og kommununa sum heild. Fyri okkum starvsfólk er tað meira spennandi, avbjóðandi og ivaleyst eisini meira rationelt, enn um vit sótu hvør í sínum heraðshorni. Og so er umsitingin heldur ikki stør... |
There has never been any question of any breakwaters here, but I won't hide that I have sometimes spoken my mind, says Ragnhild with a sarcastic smile. | BLARK_translated | Her hava ongantíð verið talan um nakrar brotasjógvar, men eg skal ikki dylja, at eg onkuntíð havi sagt mína meining, sigur Ragnhild við einum skálkabrosi. |
Last year the administration in Sunda Municipality was reorganized. The municipality has taken on several tasks, for example elder care, and therefore an administration and finance manager was appointed. He also took on the role of town clerk, a task Ragnhild had carried out for many years, and which she now, at her ow... | BLARK_translated | Í fjør varð umsitingin í Sunda kommunu umskipað. Kommunan hevur fingið fleiri arbeiðsuppgávur, eitt nú eldraøki, og tí varð umsitingar- og fíggjarleiðari settur. Hesin tók tá eisini við sum býráðsskrivari, ein uppgáva sum Ragnhild hevði røkt í mong ár, og sum hon nú, eftir egnum ynski, legði frá sær. Arbeiðsøkið hjá he... |

The chairwoman also pointed to the results of the strength survey that the association commissioned last year and which has occupied a lot of public attention. Selma said that the results are frightening, and emphasized how important it was to have the survey carried out, and no less important how crucial it is to cont... | BLARK_translated | Forkvinnan vísti eisini á úrslitið av strongdkanningini, sum felagið í fjør lat gera, og sum hevur fylt nógv í almenna rúminum.
