the people, who mostly lived out on Reyni, my father used to say. | BLARK_translated | fólkinum, sum flestu búðu úti á Reyni, plagdi pápi mín at siga. |
My father was a hard-working "jack-of-all-trades." He was an ordinary shopkeeper, but he also skinned sheep and cattle. They skinned the sheep and shot the cattle in the basement where Hans Jacob and they lived down toward Kilarkanal. It was a weekday when our father announced that a big bull needed to be slaughtered i... | BLARK_translated | Pápi mín var arbeiðssamur „altmulig-mand“. Hann var vanligur krambakallur, men so fletti hann eisini seyð og neyt. Teir flettu seyðin og skutu neytini í kjallaranum, har Hans Jacob og tey búðu oman ímóti Kilarkanalini. Tað var dagur í viku, tá pápi okkara boðaði frá, at nú skuldi stórur tarvur skjótast, og vit ungu vór... |
A major change took place at Smæran in the 1960s, because Smæran was to become a self-service store, the first of its kind in the Faroe Islands. The customers were very doubtful, because they thought goods would be stolen, but the management at Smæran saw the trend in Denmark, where the old-fashioned shops had become a... | BLARK_translated | Stór broyting fór fram í Smæruni í 1960-árunum, tí nú skuldi Smæran gerast sjálvtøkuhandil, tann fyrsti av sínum slagi í Føroyum. Viðskiftafólkini ivaðust nógv, tí tey hildu, at vørur vórðu stolnar, men leiðslan í Smæruni sá gongdina í Danmark, tí har gjørdust vanligu gomlu handlarnir farin tíð. |
When I hear the word Smæran, I often think of our father. He had no education of any kind, only seven years of elementary school. He was never on any course in, for example, accounting or management, but he was good with people, and the employees were good to Helge at Smæran and he was good to them. | BLARK_translated | Hoyri eg orðið Smæran, hugsi eg mangan um pápa okkara. Hann hevði onga útbúgving av nøkrum slag, bara sjey ára fólkaskúla. Ikki var hann nakrantíð á nøkrum skeiði í eitt nú roknskapi ella leiðslu, men hann dugdi við fólki, og starvsfólkini vóru góð við Helge í Smæruni og hann við tey. |
The expansion of Smæran went well, and the new self-service store got off to a good start. But the parking conditions at Smæran were not good, and when SMS came on the scene, Smæran lost the competition for customers. My father left Smæran in 1981 at the age of 68. His life was the family, Smæran, and the people at Abb... | BLARK_translated | Útbyggingin av Smæruni gekk væl, og nýggi sjálvtøkuhandilin fekk góðan byr. Men parkeringsumstøðurnar við Smæruna vóru ikki góðar, og tá SMS sá dagsins ljós, tapti Smæran kappingina um kundarnar. Pápi mín gavst í Smæruni í 1981 sum 68 ára gamal. Hansara lív var familjan, Smæran og fólkini á Abbatrøð. |
I can finally mention that Hans Jacob Jacobsen founded Bacalao together with Esmar Fuglø and Poul Hansen. Smæran bought a lot of meat from Iceland, and I was with Poul at Skorin in the Bacalao freezers with and after Icelandic sheep carcasses. Later Smæran built a large freezer up at Smæran, which later became part of ... | BLARK_translated | Eg kann at enda nevna, at Hans Jacob Jacobsen stovnaði Bacalao saman við Esmar Fuglø og Poul Hansen. Smæran keypti nógv kjøt úr Íslandi, og mangan var eg við Poul í Skorini í frystarínum á Bacalao bæði við og eftir íslendskum seyðakroppum. Seinni bygdi Smæran stórt frystarí uppí Smæruna, sum seinni gjørdist partur av u... |
A slaughterhouse. A radio shop. A bank. A grocery and a furniture store. Paint, dynamite, medicine, money, electric bulbs, gramophone records, oranges, red cabbage and medister sausage. There is hardly any product that is not at some time sold in M. A. Winthersgøta. | BLARK_translated | Eitt slaktarí. Ein radiohandil. Ein banki. Ein kolonial og ein møbilhandil. Máling, dynamitt, heilivágur, pengar, elektriskar perur, grammofonplátur, appilsinir, reyðkál og medistarpylsa. Tað finst neyvan tann vøra, ið ikki onkuntíð er handlað í M. A. Winthersgøtu. |
All this, and much more besides. And that only in the part of the street, and in the buildings where the Television, and later the Broadcasting Corporation, was housed for just over thirty years. | BLARK_translated | Alt hetta, og nógv meira afturat. Og tað bert í tí partinum av gøtuni, og í teimum bygningum, har Sjónvarpið, og seinni Kringvarpið, húsaðist smá tríati ár. |
Oh my God, we had a great time! But also a little sad at times. | BLARK_translated | Og pínadoy vit høvdu tað stuttligt! Men eisini eitt sindur trist viðhvørt. |
It was the best of times — it was the worst of times | BLARK_translated | Tað vóru tær bestu tíðirnar – tað vóru tær ringastu tíðirnar |
There was a time of trust – there was a time of distrust | BLARK_translated | Tað var ein tíð við treysti – tað var ein tíð við mistreysti |
It cannot be denied that it was often noisy in M. A. Winthersgøta. With commotions and with quiet spells. This was a time of great events that shook | BLARK_translated | Tað skerst ikki burtur, at mangan var buldrasligt í M. A. Winthersgøtu. Við upptúrum og við niðurtúrum. Hetta var ein tíð við stórum hendingum, ið skakaðu |
the whole society at its foundation, and a time with small events that united us so well. A time with funny, with sorrowful, and with exciting events. | BLARK_translated | alt samfelagið í sínum grundvølli, og ein tíð við smáum hendingum, ið samansjóðaðu okkum so væl. Ein tíð við stuttligum, við syrgiligum, og við spennandi hendingum. |
Countless are the memories from M. A. Winthersgøta. Most of them of the very best kind. Admittedly the waves sometimes ran high, and the breakers hit both sides. And yes — we argued and swore at each other now and then. But for the most part we quickly made up and were able to have fun and laugh together nonetheless. | BLARK_translated | Óteljandi eru minnini úr M. A. Winthersgøtu. Tey flestu av tí allar besta slagnum. Víst gingu aldurnar høgt onkuntíð, og brotini brutu í bæði borð. Og ja – vit sjabbaðust og skeldaðust eisini av og á. Men aloftast funnu vit skjótt aftur á slætt og dugdu at skemtast og flenna saman fyri tað. |
It was then. KvF has left the building. Fires are bridges. Buildings sold. Emptied. | BLARK_translated | Tað var tá. KvF has left the building. Brendar eru brýr. Bygningar seldir. Tømdir. |
This rare soul, which is granted only to a very few, but also to very special buildings | BLARK_translated | Hendan sjáldsama sálin, sum bert heilt fáum, men eisini heilt serligum bygningum unnast at ognast |
Ah, if walls could talk. Right there. In this very room. Between these walls. There lives the soul. This rare soul, which only very few, but also very special, buildings are fortunate enough to possess. The soul that is like a camphor-wood chest that recalls Hong Kong and China. It conjures sounds and visions. The bell... | BLARK_translated | Áh, høvdu veggir kunna talað. Beint har. Í júst hasum rúminum. Millum hasar veggirnar. Har býr sálin. Hendan sjáldsama sálin, sum bert heilt fáum, men eisini heilt serligum bygningum unnast at ognast. Sálin, sum er sum kistan av kamfertræ, ið minnir um Hong Kong og Kina. Hon manar fram ljóð og sjónir. Beljan frá bivand... |
To those who will in future work in the renovated buildings of the Civil Servants' Association: "Good luck! Add to the rich and well-seasoned history of M. A. Winthersgøta. Defend our rights well. And have as much fun as we did." | BLARK_translated | Tit, ið framyvir skulu starvast í nýumvældu bygningunum hjá Starvsmannafelagnum: „Góða eydnu! Leggið aftur at ríku og væl kryddaðu søguni hjá M. A. Winthersgøtu. Handlið okkara rættindi væl. Og havið tað líka so stuttligt sum vit.“ |
There are definite advantages to standing together in a large trade union, but as a small trade group in the big crowd there is a risk of being pushed aside. Organizing trade groups within the union gives us strength and good opportunities to develop the professional side that we have missed, says Jórun Mørkøre, who is... | BLARK_translated | Tað hevur sínar avgjørdu fyrimunir at standa saman í einum stórum fakfelag, men sum ein lítil fakbólkur í stóra høpinum kann vandi vera fyri at smokka burturímillum. At skipa fakbólkar innan felagið gevur okkum styrki og góðar møguleikar at menna fakliga partin, sum vit hava saknað, sigur Jórun Mørkøre, sum er ein av n... |
With its approximately 2,000 members, the Trade Union represents a whole range of different occupational groups, larger as | BLARK_translated | Við sínum umleið 2.000 limum umboðar Starvsmannafelagið ein heilan hóp av ymiskum starvsbólkum, størri sum |
smaller, and this gives the association major challenges in that the members should recognize themselves in the large membership numbers. The association acknowledged that there was a need to create a professional environment for the members and therefore invited members in the various fields of work to organize themse... | BLARK_translated | smærri, og tað gevur felagnum stórar avbjóðingar, at limirnir skulu kenna seg aftur í stóru limafjøldini. Felagið ásannaði, at tørvur var á at skapa eitt fakligt umhvørvi fyri limirnar og bjóðaði tí limum á teimum ymisku starvsøkjunum at skipa seg í fakbólkar. Endamálið við fakbólkunum er at virka fyri fakligari mennin... |
Since then several professional groups have been established. One of them is the group that represents laboratory workers, technicians and assistants. Around 40 employees work in these areas, among others at the Public Health Office, the Marine Research Institute, the Pharmacy and the University. | BLARK_translated | Síðani eru fleiri fakbólkar stovnaðir. Ein teirra er bólkurin, sum umboðar laborantar, teknikarar og assistentar. Útvið 40 starvsfólk virka á hesum økjum, m.a. á Heilsaufrøðiligu Starvsstovuni, Havstovuni, Apotekinum og á Fróðskaparsetrinum. |
with the trade group, among other things to establish contact outside the headlands, not least with the relevant trade unions. A certain contact with HK-STAT would be quite natural, where Danish laboratory technicians are members. She also envisions the possibility that several trade groups join together for some event... | BLARK_translated | við fakbólkinum, m.a. at fáa samband uttan fyri landoddarnar, ikki minst við viðkomandi fakfeløg. Eitt ávíst samband við HK-STAT hevði verið rættiliga natúrligt, har danskir laborantar eru limir. Hon sær eisini fyri sær møguleikan, at fleiri fakbólkar eru saman um onkur tiltøk, sum ikki eru so fakbundin, men hava áhuga... |
A few years ago we in the association began to group our members into professional categories. The work on this has taken a long time and has been challenging for those who took it on. | BLARK_translated | Fyri nøkrum árum síðani fóru vit í felagnum undir at gera eina bólking av limum okkara í fakbólkar. Arbeiðið við hesum hevur tikið langa tíð og hevur verið avbjóðandi fyri tey, sum tóku sær av hesum. |
It has, however, more or less come under the country; some professional groups have been established in committees and have begun their activities. | BLARK_translated | Tað er tó meira ella minni komið undir land; nakrir fakbólkar eru settir við nevndum og eru farnir í gongd við sítt virksemi. |
However, these active groups are very few. We hear little from the members as a whole in connection | BLARK_translated | Tó eru hesir aktivu bólkar sera fáir. Vit hoyra lítið frá limunum sum heild í sambandi |
us more of the specific professions that are represented in the membership of the Trade Union. After all, the union is a big mix with over 300 different job titles, so it has been difficult to focus on professionalism in the union’s work. With the specialist groups this was supposed to be put right. We thought so. | BLARK_translated | okkum meira av teimum einstøku fakunum, sum eru umboðað í limaskaranum í Starvsmannafelagnum. Felagið er jú ein stór blanding við yvir 300 ymiskum starvsheitum, so tað hevur verið ringt at fáa fokus á fakligheit í felagsarbeiðinum. Við fakbólkunum skuldi hetta fáast í rættlag. Hildu vit. |
The situation is that many of our job titles and professions are represented by only a very few members in the union. In order to get groups of a useful size we have grouped trades together that we thought were similar. But I must admit that that was certainly not always the case, | BLARK_translated | Støðan er tann, at nógv av okkara starvsheitum og fakum eru umboðað av nøkrum heilt fáum limum í felagnum. Fyri at fáa bólkar av brúkiligari stødd hava vit bólkað fak saman, sum vit hildu líktust. Men eg skal viðganga, at tað var bestemt ikki altíð, |
There was a time when some were shocked, and some even became angry, to hear harsh music again with Ormurin Langi, and feared that this new thing would ruin the traditional ballad culture, but this fear must be said to have been unfounded. Pól Arni Holm, who at that time was the singer in the heavy metal band TÝR, says... | BLARK_translated | Tað var tann tíð, at tað vóru tey, sum ógvuðust, og onkur eisini ilskaðist, at hoyra harðan tónleik aftur við Orminum Langa, og bóru ótta fyri, at hetta nýggja fór at forkoma siðbundnu kvæðamentanini, men hesin óttin má sigast at hava verið ógrundaður. Pól Arni Holm, sum tá var sangari í tungmálmsbólkinum TÝR, sigur se... |
Pól Arni has a new record out. Not with TÝR anymore, but together with other good musicians, and the style is virtually the same. | BLARK_translated | Pól Arni er fløguaktuellur. Ikki við TÝR longur, men saman við øðrum góðum tónleikarum, men stílurin er at kalla hin sami. |
Pop music is my music, and I am, in that sense, honest and faithful to myself, because what I perform comes from within, says Pól Arni, who — of course excepting the old ballads — himself has the other songs on the record as well as the lyrics. | BLARK_translated | Fólkarokkur er mín tónleikur, og eg eri í so máta ærligur og trúgvur móti mær sjálvum, tí tað sum eg framføri, kemur innanífrá, sigur Pól Arni, sum – sjálvandi gomlu kvæðaløgini undantikin – sjálvur hevur hini løgini á fløguni eins og tekstin. |
Pól Arni says it is not surprising that Faroese people are musical, and that probably comes from age-old traditions, both in secular and spiritual spheres, from Faroese dance, folk songs and ballads, as well as in churches and congregations. | BLARK_translated | Tað er ikki at taka seg aftur í, at føroyingar eru musikalskir, heldur Pól Arni, og tað kemur helst av aldagamlari siðvenju, bæði á verðsliga og andaliga økinum, frá føroyska dansinum, vísum og kvæðum, eins og í kirkjum og samkomum. |
Asked about future plans, he hesitates a little — “not impossible,” says Pól Arni very cautiously, but behind the careful words there are quite a few plans to be seen. | BLARK_translated | Spurdur um framtíðarætlanir, dregur hann eitt sindur á, – ikki óhugsandi, sigur Pól Arni ógvuliga varin, men aftan fyri varligu orðini eru ikki so fáar ætlanir at hóma. |
There is a special sorrowful sweetness in knowing that the days that make a woman age quickly are numbered. | BLARK_translated | Tað er ein serlig sorgblíð kensla at vita, at dagarnir sum forkvinna skjótt eru taldir. |
The work, the collaboration, the experiences, the challenges and the close bonds have taught me a lot and are valuable to me. | BLARK_translated | Starvið, samstarvið, upplivingar, avbjóðingar og knýttu bondini hava lært meg nógv og eru mær virðismikil. |
Thanks to my skilled colleagues in our administration, who every day put in a lot to serve the members in the best way. You are worth your weight in gold. | BLARK_translated | Takk mínir dugnaligu starvsfelagar í umsiting okkara, ið hvønn dag leggja nógv fyri at tæna limunum á bestan hátt. Tit eru gull verd. |
Thank you to the advisers, who are always straightforward to call on and provide the members with good service. And to the interest groups, professional groups, committees and associations affiliated with our association, you have the same thanks. | BLARK_translated | Takk tit ráðgevar, ið altíð eru beinasamir at heita á og veita limunum eina góða tænastu. Og tit áhugafeløg, fak- bólkar, nevndir og feløg, ið knýtt eru at okkara felag eiga somu tøkkina. |
Heartfelt thanks to all of you, trusted representatives. You are the marrow, the cornerstone, of our fellowship, and your work is of indispensable importance to the members of the association. | BLARK_translated | Hjartans tøkk øll tit álitisfólk. Tit eru mergurin, hornasteinurin, í okkara felagsskapi og tykkara arbeiði hevur ómissandi týdning fyri limir felagsins. |
And thank you all, you members. You are the Civil Servants' Union. Without members there is no union, and it is thanks to you that the Civil Servants' Union is an active and strong union. Together we are stronger — and together you are stronger. | BLARK_translated | Og takk allir tit limir. Tit eru Starvsmannafelagið. Uttan limir onki felag og tað er tykkum fyri at takka, at Starvsmannafelagið er eitt virkið og sterkt felag. Saman eru vit sterkari - og saman ert tú sterkari. |
I also thank all our good colleagues in the Trade Union Cooperation and the other trade unions, both at home and abroad. We cooperate and take action together, and thus make an even bigger difference. Together we move forward and make the future brighter. | BLARK_translated | Eg takki eisini øllum okkara góðu starvsfeløgum í Fakfelagssamstarvinum og hinum fakfeløgunum, bæði innan og uttanlands. Vit samstarva og taka tøk saman, og gera tí enn størri mun. Saman vinna vit framá leið og gera framtíðina bjartari. |
The Civil Servants' Association is close to my heart, and I will always be good to our association. I will always be interested in what is on the agenda and in the Association doing well, as well as the Faroese trade union movement as a whole. | BLARK_translated | Starvsmannafelagið stendur mínum hjarta nær, og eg fari altíð at vera góð við okkara felag. Fari altíð at hava áhuga fyri, hvat er á breddanum og at tað gongur Starvsmannafelagnum væl eins og føroysku fakfelagsrørsluni sum heild. |
A regulated labor market, on both the employee and the employer side, pays for security and progress. | BLARK_translated | Ein skipaður arbeiðsmarknaður, bæði á arbeiðstakara- og á arbeiðsgevarasíðu, borgar fyri tryggleika og framburði. |
It is important to give the contracting parties and the political authorities constructive support and opposition. | BLARK_translated | Umráðandi er at geva sáttmálapørtunum og politiska myndugleikanum konstruktivt við- og mótspæl. |
Communication, the dialogue, with our contracting parties is crucial — disputes and disagreements must be resolved and agreements must be reached. | BLARK_translated | Samskiftið, dialogurin, við okkara sáttmálapartar er altavgerandi skulu mál og tvístøður loysast og avtalur fáast í lag. |
Communication with the employers’ side, including the managements, that we have had and currently have is important. We have undertaken joint initiatives, had many interesting debates, agreements and disagreements, and in most cases we have managed to find useful solutions. Both agreements and disagreements move us for... | BLARK_translated | Tað er týdningarmikið, tað samskiftið vit hava og hava havt við arbeiðsgevarasíðuna, herundir eisini leiðslurnar. Felags átøk hava vit havt, mong áhugaverd kjak, semjur og ósemjur og í flestu førum hava vit megnað at funnið gagnligar loysnir. Bæði semjur og ósemjur flyta okkum framá. Eg eri somuleiðis takksom fyri at e... |
I also warmly thank my dear family and friends. Support, patience and encouragement are necessary if it is to be possible to carry out such work for many years. I am fortunate. | BLARK_translated | Míni góðu familju og vinum takki eg eisini hjartaliga. Stuðul, tolni og eggjan eru neyðug, skal tað vera gjørligt at røkja slíkt starv í fleiri ár. Eg eri heppin. |
In addition to operating the regular routes, Atlantic Airways had a lot of activity on other routes in 2008, and therefore applied for more flight attendants. Helena applied and got a job. The first stage was training at a school in Esbjerg and then on-the-job training as an extra flight attendant on flights, and after... | BLARK_translated | Umframt at røkja vanligu farleiðirnar, hevði Atlantic Airways í 2008 stórt virksemi á øðrum farleiðum, og søktu tí eftir fleiri flogternum. Helena søkti og fekk starv. Fyrsta stigið var í skúla í Esbjerg og síðani starvsvenjing sum eyka flogterna á flogi, og eftir eina ávísa tíð við starvsroyndum, varð hon góðkend sum ... |
Most travelers must have butterflies in their stomach and thoroughly check the weather conditions when a flight is ahead, but Helena doesn't think about that at all. It's like when the rest of us take the bus. | BLARK_translated | Tað munnu vera tey fægstu ferðafólk, sum ikki hava nakað av firvaldum í búkinum, og kanna dúgliga veðurlíkindini, tá ein flogferð er fyri framman, men tað hugsar Helena als ikki um. Tað er sum tá vit onnur fara í bussin. |
against us, and when it comes to staying calm, Helena says. | BLARK_translated | móti okkum, og tá ræður um at vera róligur, sigur Helena. |
Undoubtedly there are people who think that the main task of flight attendants is to set the table with the packed lunch and something extra, but that is not the case, Helena explains. | BLARK_translated | Ivaleyst eru fólk sum halda, at fremsta uppgávan hjá flogternunum er at borðreiða við matpakkanum og onkrum afturvið, men so er ikki, greiðir Helena frá. |
Of course it also happens that people can become miserable for some reason. | BLARK_translated | Tað kemur sjálvandi eisini fyri, at fólk kunnu gerast ússalig av einhvørjari orsøk. |
Two of the flight attendants represented the others in negotiations, but when the number of flight attendants increased significantly about ten years ago, they pulled themselves together and founded Súlan, which became their union. For the past few years Helena has been the union chairwoman. She explains that they oper... | BLARK_translated | Tvær av flogternunum umboðaðu hinar í sambandi við samráðingar, men tá talið av flogternum, fyri umleið tíggju árum síðani øktist munandi, tóku tær seg saman og stovnaðu Súluna, sum gjørdist teirra fakfelag. Bæði seinastu árini hevur Helena verið forkvinna felagsins. Hon greiðir frá, at tey virkaðu sum onnur fak- felag... |
Today there are 23 flight attendants in permanent positions and in addition several who work as freelance flight attendants/crew, and they decided that the best thing would be to merge with another union, which naturally became the Civil Servants’ Union, where they became members in January of this year.

Helena heldur, at tað var rætt avgerð, so nú verð... |
The union of the cabin crew at Atlantic Airways and the Employees' Association have decided to merge. The merger agreement was recently signed in the premises of the Employees' Association. | BLARK_translated | Fakfelagið hjá kabinustarvsfólkunum hjá Atlantic Airways og Starvsmannafelagið hava avgjørt at leggja saman. Samanleggingaravtalan varð herfyri undirskrivað í hølum Starvsmannafelagsins. |
Súlan, which has been the union for the cabin crew in the Faroese airline – what we know best as flight attendants – decided at an extraordinary general meeting to merge the union with the Staff Association, and the board of the Staff Association warmly supported this and likewise voted to accede to Súlan’s wishes. In ... | BLARK_translated | Súlan, sum hevur verið fakfelag hjá kabinustarvsfólkunum í føroyska flogfelagnum – tað sum vit best kenna sum flogternur – samtykti á eykaaðalfundi at leggja felagið saman við Starvsmannafelagnum, og hesum tók nevndin í Starvsmannafelagnum væl undir við og samtykti somuleiðis at taka undir við ynskjunum frá Súluni. Í b... |
Concretely, the merger means that the organizations are joining together under, among other things, the name and the rules of the Cabin Crew Union. The approximately 30 cabin crew members who have been members of Súla are now members of the Cabin Crew Union with full membership rights and obligations. | BLARK_translated | Ítøkiliga merkir samanleggingin, at feløgini ganga saman undir m.a. navninum og reglunum hjá Starvsmannafelagnum. Tey áleið 30 kabinustarvsfólkini, sum hava verið limir í Súluni, eru nú limir í Starvsmannafelagnum við fullum limarættindum og limaskyldum. |
The board of Súlurnar resigns, but nevertheless continues as a union section within the Civil Servants' Association, which already has several such sections, and the board of the Civil Servants' Association continues as before. | BLARK_translated | Nevndin í Súlunum fer frá, men heldur kortini fram sum fakbólkur í Starvsmannafelagnum, sum frammanundan hevur fleiri slíkar fakbólkar, og nevndin í Starvsmannafelagnum heldur fram sum áður. |
Súlan has a contract with the Faroese Employers' Association. The Civil Servants' Association has now taken over formal bargaining authority vis-à-vis the Faroese Employers' Association. Súlan’s current contract will cease to be in effect on November 1 of this year. | BLARK_translated | Súlan hevur sáttmála við Føroya Arbeiðsgevarafelag. Starvsmannafelagið hevur nú yvirtikið tað formliga sáttmálaræði mótvegis Føroya Arbeiðsgevarafelag. Galdandi sáttmáli hjá Súluni fer úr gildi 1. november í ár. |
The Municipal Employees’ Association and the Municipal Employers’ Association, KAF, have made a new 2-year agreement for those who work for the municipalities, SEV and IRF. The agreement is at the same level as the settlement with the Ministry of Finance and is based on a framework of 4.15 percent over two years. | BLARK_translated | Starvsmannafelagið og Kommunala Arbeiðsgevarafelagið, KAF, hava gjørt nýggjan 2-ára sáttmála fyri tey, sum arbeiða hjá kommununum, SEV og IRF. Sáttmálin er á sama stigi sum semjan við Fíggjarmálaráðið og byggir á ein karm á 4,15 prosent yvir tvey ár. |
Other adjustments have also been made, corresponding to the changes that were made to the agreement with the Ministry of Finance earlier this winter. | BLARK_translated | Aðrar tillagingar eru eisini, sum samsvara við broytingarnar, sum vórðu gjørdar í sáttmálan við Fíggjarmálaráðið fyrr í vetur. |
As a trade union, we have a social obligation to make our influence felt with the political authorities so that they work to improve the conditions of wage earners and citizens as a whole, says Selma Ellingsgaard, who is now stepping down after eight years as chairwoman of the Civil Servants’ Union. | BLARK_translated | Sum fakfelag hava vit eina samfelagsskyldu at gera okkara ávirkan galdandi mótvegis politiska myndugleikanum, soleiðis at hann virkar fyri at bøta um korini hjá løntakarafjøldini og borgarum sum heild, sigur Selma Ellingsgaard, sum nú leggur frá sær eftir átta ár sum forkvinna í Starvsmannafelagnum. |
It is about people, their lives, jobs, everyday life and well‑being, and every day I have been able to make use of my professional skills as well as my personal ones. | BLARK_translated | Tað snýr seg um menniskju, teirra lív, størv, gerandisdag og trivna og eg havi hvønn dag kunna gagnnýtt mínar fakligu førleikar eins væl og teir persónligu. |
Moreover, I have also been given the opportunity to develop my skills - and I am grateful for that. | BLARK_translated | Umframt eisini fingið høvi at ment førleikarnar - og tað eri eg takksom fyri. |
Selma took over in March 2008, and already that autumn the same year the major financial crisis began in which, among other things, the Icelandic banking system collapsed, and the crisis left its mark on the entire financial world. It also had consequences here with us, although Selma believes that we at home were not ... | BLARK_translated | Selma tók við í mars mánaði 2008, og longu á heysti hetta sama árið byrjaði stóra fíggjarkreppan har m.a. íslendska bankakervið rapaði, og kreppan setti síni spor í øllum fíggjarheiminum. Tað hevði eisini sínar avleiðingar her hjá okkum, tó at Selma metir, at vit her heima ikki vórðu rakt á sama hátt, men eisini brúktu... |
Shortly after I was elected, a journalist asked: What is the worst thing you can imagine as chairwoman? I replied that it would be if people lost their jobs. Unfortunately, this became a reality for several of our members. Skilled and loyal employees, both in the public and private labor market, lost their jobs with th... | BLARK_translated | Stutt eftir, eg varð vald, spurdi ein miðil: Hvat er tað ringasta tú kann ímynda tær, sum forkvinna? Eg svaraði, at tað var, um fólk mistu síni størv. Tíverri bleiv hetta ein veruleiki fyri fleiri av okkara limum. Dugnalig og trúgv starvsfólk, bæði á almenna og privata arbeiðsmarknaðinum, mistu síni størv við teimum st... |
We did our utmost to explain to the authorities how such cuts would affect people — among other things to prevent these cuts. | BLARK_translated | Vit gjørdu okkara ítasta at greiða myndugleikunum frá, hvussu meint tílíkar skerjingar raka - m.a. fyri at fyribyrgja hesum skerjingum. |
Unfortunately, the authorities did not take sufficient account. Rather, we have seen that the public sector was expected to provide the same services with fewer people and a lower budget, which means, all else equal, that those remaining have to run even faster. But there is also a limit to what people can manage. | BLARK_translated | Tíverri tóku myndugleikarnir ikki nóg stór atlit. Heldur hava vit sæð, at tað almenna skuldi veita somu tænastur við færri fólki og lægri játtanum, og tað merkir, alt annað líka, at tey eftirverandi skulu renna enn skjótari. Men mark er eisini fyri, hvat fólk megna. |
If we are to have a progressive and well-functioning society, a strong public sector is necessary. It is the backbone of a welfare society, says the chairwoman. | BLARK_translated | Skulu vit hava eitt framkomið og vælvirkandi samfelag, so er neyðugt við einum sterkum almennum geira. Hann er krumtappurin í einum vælferðarsamfelag, sigur forkvinnan. |
A respectful and constructive dialogue and cooperation with the employers’ side is also necessary if you are to secure the members the best conditions possible. Being able to disagree respectfully and being determined to resolve disputes and find solutions is necessary and a virtue in our work, Selma adds. | BLARK_translated | Eitt virðiligt og konstruktivt samskiftið og samstarv við arbeiðsgevarasíðuna er eisini neyðugt, skalt tú tryggja limunum so góðar sømdir sum tilber. At duga at vera siðiliga ósamdur og leggja doyðin á at loysa tvístøður og finna loysnir, er neyðugt og ein dygd í okkara arbeiði, leggur Selma afturat. |
That employees get opportunities to develop their skills is at the top of the agenda for the Employees’ Association. And the chairwoman believes that this is very important. | BLARK_translated | At starvsfólk fáa møguleikar at førleikamenna seg, stendur ovarliga á skránni hjá Starvsmannafelagnum. Og tað heldur forkvinnan hava alstóran týdning. |
The world is in constant change and with that the work tasks as well. Therefore it is very important that employees have the right to develop themselves, and use it, so that they are best able to carry out their daily tasks and can also take on other and different tasks. Ensuring that members are not left behind is ver... | BLARK_translated | Heimurin er í støðugari broyting og við tí eisini arbeiðsuppgávurnar. Tí er tað sera týdningarmikið, at starvsfólk eiga rættin at menna seg, og brúka hann, soleiðis at tey eru best møguliga fyri at røkja sínar dagligu uppgávur og eisini kunnu átaka sær aðrar og øðrvísi uppgávur. At tryggja at limirnir ikki verða afturú... |
We have had fine words about strategic skills development in the contract. However, it has been too random whether the staff have received this right, which should of course also be a major responsibility for the employer. In the agreements made in the autumn, the parties have agreed that now something substantial must... | BLARK_translated | Vit hava havt føgur orð um strategiska førleikamenning í sáttmálanum. Tó hevur verið ov tilvildarligt um starvsfólkini hava fingið henda rættin, sum jú eisini eigur at vera stórt aktiv fyri arbeiðsgevaran. Í semjunum, gjørdar í heyst, hava partarnir avtalað, at nú skal nakað munagott gerast. Partarnir skulu regluliga e... |
This is an important agreement that points ahead and will genuinely benefit the association’s members — and society as a whole. | BLARK_translated | Hetta er ein týdningarmikil avtala, sum peikar frameftir og veruliga fer at gagna limum felagsins – og samfelagnum sum heild. |
The good Nordic cooperation we also have is indispensable. It is very important for our development to broaden the horizon and for the countries to learn from each other for the benefit of the members. | BLARK_translated | Eisini góða norðurlendska samstarvið, ið vit hava, er ómissandi. Tað er sera týdningarmikið fyri okkara menning at víðka sjónarringin og at londini læra hvør av øðrum, limunum at gagni. |
This is pleasing and we are looking ahead optimistically, says Selma, emphasizing that it is important to use both financial and human resources as best as possible, for the benefit of everyone. | BLARK_translated | Hetta er gleðiligt og litið verður frameftir, sigur Selma og leggur dent á, at tað ræður um at nýta bæði fíggjarligu og menniskjaligu orkuna sum best, øllum at gagni. |
On Saturday, March 5th there will be a change of guard on the bridge at the Staff Association. Then Selma will say farewell after eight years at the forefront of the association. | BLARK_translated | Leygardagin 5. mars verður vaktarskifti á brúnni hjá Starvsmannafelagnum. Tá takkar Selma fyri seg eftir átta árum á fremstu rók felagsins. |
If I were re-elected, I could at most have served another four years, as the union's law says, and I have thought it over carefully and for a long time. Because I know there is a deadline in four years, and I am now 44, I believe this is the right moment. The decision has been made. If I were 63 years old, I would not ... | BLARK_translated | Varð eg afturvald, kundi eg í mesta lagi sitið í fýra ár afturat, sum lóg felagsins sigur, og eg havi hugsað meg væl um og leingi. Av tí eg veit, at tað er ein deadline um fýra ár, og eg nú eri 44, haldi eg, at hetta er rætta løtan. Avgerðin er tikin. Var eg 63 ára gomul, hevði eg ikki ivast í at stilla uppaftur. |
It is with sorrowful affection that I have made this decision and at the same time with great gratitude, says Selma Ellingsgaard, who is now returning to work for the Tórshavn municipality, where she began her social worker career 20 years ago, after completing her education in Aarhus in the summer of 1996. | BLARK_translated | Tað er við sorgblídni, eg havi tikið hesa avgerð og samstundis eisini við stórum takksemi, sigur Selma Ellingsgaard, sum nú fer aftur í starv hjá Tórshavnar kommunu, har hon byrjaði sína sosialráðgeva starvstíð fyri 20 árum síðani, eftir lokna útbúgving í Aarhus á sumri 1996. |
This year it has been fifty-five years since the Staff Association was founded. So our association has a semicentennial founding day this year. The association's annual meeting will be held on Saturday, March 5, and the Nordic House will provide the setting for the meeting. A few times before we have held the meeting i... | BLARK_translated | Í ár eru fimmtifimm ár liðin, síðani Starvsmannafelagið varð sett á stovn. So felag okkara hevur hálvrundan stovningardag í ár. Aðalfundur felagsins verður hildin leygardagin 5. mars, og Norðurlandahúsið verður karmur um fundin. Nakrar ferðir áður hava vit hildið fundin í vakra og sermerkta Norðurlandahúsinum. |
The annual report describes the course of the past year and various aspects of the association’s activities. As in previous years, the past year also had a lot to offer. Interesting and inspiring, and we give thanks for the year that has been put away in storage. We look forward in the hope that 2016 will be a good and... | BLARK_translated | Ársfrágreiðingin lýsir gongdina farna árið og ymsar tættir av virksemi felagsins. Eins og undanfarin ár hevur eisini farna árið havt nógv at bjóða. Áhugavert og kveikjandi, og vit takka fyri árið, ið er lagt aftur at goymsluni. Vit líta frameftir í teirri vón, at 2016 verður eitt gott og lívgandi ár, og vit vita, at ný... |
As has been customary at the association’s general meetings, there will also be a guest at this year’s meeting. We have invited the Minister of Finance, Kristina Háfoss, to speak to us and have asked her to discuss issues that are current and relevant to Faroese workers. We are pleased that Kristina Háfoss has agreed t... | BLARK_translated | Sum siðvenja hevur verið á aðal- fundum felagsins, so verður eisini gestur við á fundinum í ár. Vit hava bjóðað landsstýriskvinnuni við fíggjarmálum, Kristinu Háfoss, at røða fyri okkum og hava heitt á hana at umrøða mál, ið eru aktuell og viðkomandi fyri føroysku arbeiðstakararnar. Vit fegnast um, at Kristina Háfoss h... |
Two board members shall also be elected, and a total of six people are offering to take on this responsibility. They are Alma Hansen, Gunnar Hjelm, Harald H. Haraldsen, Hilmar Augustinussen, Jóngerð Simonsen and Karin Jacobsen. Board members are elected for a three-year term. | BLARK_translated | Tveir nevndarlimir skulu eisini veljast, og heili seks fólk bjóða sær at taka við hesi ábyrgd. Tey eru Alma Hansen, Gunnar Hjelm, Harald H. Haraldsen, Hilmar Augustinussen, Jóngerð Simonsen og Karin Jacobsen. Nevndarlimir verða valdir fyri eitt trý ára skeið. |
The candidates have election columns here in the Starvs newspaper, and we wish them all good luck and thank them for being willing to take on the responsibility of leading and representing our union. | BLARK_translated | Valevnini hava valgreinar her í Starvs- blaðnum, og ynskja vit teimum øllum góða eydnu og takka fyri, at tey ynskja at taka við tí ábyrgd, tað er at ganga undan og umboða okkara fakfelag. |
2015 has been both a year of negotiations and an election year here at home. A section of the annual report concerns the negotiations with the Ministry of Finance and the Municipal Employers' Association. | BLARK_translated | 2015 hevur verið bæði samráðingarár og valár her heima. Eitt brot í ársfrágreiðingini snýr seg um samráðingarnar við Fíggjarmálaráðið og Kommunala Arbeiðsgevarafelagið. |
On Ólavsøka day, July 29, the then Prime Minister, Kaj Leo Holm Johannesen, called an election, and on September 1 we were able to place our cross next to the person or party we had chosen. The Social Democratic Party became the largest party and got 8 seats, Republic (Tjóðveldi) 7, the Union Party (Sambandsflokkurin) ... | BLARK_translated | Ólavsøkudag 29. juli útskrivaði nú fyrrverandi løgmaður, Kaj Leo Holm Johannesen, val, og 1. september sluppu vit so at seta krossin við hana, hann ella tann flokk, ið vit høvdu kjósað okkum. Javnaðarflokkurin bleiv størsti flokkur og fekk 8, Tjóðveldi 7, Sambandsflokkurin 6, Fólkaflokkurin 6, Framsókn 2, Miðflokkurin ... |
In the Employees' Magazine before Christmas a specialist had some analyses of the tax and duty changes that the coalition had set out to implement, and what impact they were going to have. We hope that the tax relief will make a good difference, and several municipalities have also taken their own steps to lower the ta... | BLARK_translated | Í Starvsblaðnum undan jólum hevði serfrøðingur nakrar greiningar av teimum skatta- og avgjaldsbroytingum, ið samgongan hevði sett sær fyri at fremja, og hvørja ávirkan tær fóru at fáa. Vit vóna, at skattalættin fer at gera góðan mun, og fleiri kommunur hava eisini tikið egin stig at lækka skattin. |
This coalition has also been determined to achieve balance and a surplus in the budget. All well and good. It just must not become too costly to make the accounts add up. | BLARK_translated | Henda samgongan hevur eisini verið altrá eftir at fáa javnvág og yvirskot á fíggjarlógini. Alt gott um tað. Tað má bara ikki gerast ov dýrtkeypt at fáa eitt roknistykki at passa. |
As with the pension reform, a fisheries reform is in the pipeline, and the coalition has set itself the goal that this reform should also see the light of day in 2016. Like the pension reform, a fisheries reform has long been in the works. | BLARK_translated | Eins og við pensjónsnýskipanini er ein fiskivinnunýskipan á trappunum, og samgongan hevur sett sær fyri, at eisini hendan nýskipan skal síggja dagsins ljós í 2016. Eins og pensjónsnýskipanin hevur ein fiskivinnunýskipan verið leingi á veg. |
It is essential to have clear, organized rules, and that it now becomes a reality. And that the agreement on our greatest asset, the sea’s gray gold, is cemented in a broad, foundational agreement between the parties in the parliament. | BLARK_translated | Alneyðugt er við greiðum, skipaðum reglum, og at hon nú verður veruleiki. Og at semjan um okkara størsta aktiv, havsins gráa gull, verður kjølfest í breiðari, berandi semju millum flokkarnar á tingi. |
We need stability and confidence that such a system will not be run like a rudder in a storm and be changed and adjusted every time the governments change. | BLARK_translated | Okkum tørvar stabilitet og álit á, at ein slík skipan ikki fer at rekast sum tongul í brimi og kunna broytast og tillagast, so hvørt sum samgongurnar skifta. |
This is a requirement and a need both for industry and also for each individual Faroese person. | BLARK_translated | Hetta er eitt krav og ein tørvur bæði hjá vinnuni og eisini hjá hvørjum einstøkum føroyingi. |
Our main source of income must be within secure, stable frameworks and be a source of income that brings the greatest benefit to our society. | BLARK_translated | Okkara høvuðsinntøkukelda má liggja í tryggum, føstum kørmum og vera ein inntøkukelda, ið okkara samfelag fær størstu nyttuna av. |
Our common treasury must receive a substantial portion of the revenues that the sea’s gray gold yields. That way we ensure that we have an advanced society, we secure our welfare services, and that they are strengthened and developed. | BLARK_translated | Okkara felags kassi má fáa ein dyggan part av teim inntøkum, havsins gráa gull kastar av sær. Soleiðis tryggja vit, at vit eiga eitt framkomið samfelag, vit tryggja okkara vælferðartænastur, og at tær styrkjast og mennast. |
Unrest and insecurity cause problems in many places, and we can now also more concretely feel what this unrest and insecurity mean. This misfortune that many of our brothers and sisters in Syria and so many places around the world must live with day after day. | BLARK_translated | Ófriður og ótryggleiki valda nógvastaðni, og eisini vit kunnu nú meira ítøkiliga kenna, hvat hesin ófriður og ótryggleiki merkir. Hesa vanlagnu, mong av okkara brøðrum og systrum í Sýriu og so mangar staðir kring heimin mugu liva við dag og dagliga. |
The brutal and inhuman attack in Paris and other terrifying attacks carried out by radical Islamists must not lead us to cut all Muslims with the same brush. | BLARK_translated | Harðrenda og ómenniskjansliga atsóknin í París og aðrar ræðuligar atsóknir, framdar eru av víðgongdum islamistum, mugu ikki fáa okkum at skera allar muslimar yvir ein kamb. |
These hard-line and extreme Islamists harm Muslims, just as they harm Christians, Jews, atheists, Hindus — indeed all of us. | BLARK_translated | Hesir harðrendu og víðgongdu islamistar skaða muslimar, júst sum teir skaða kristin, jødar, ateistar, hinduar, ja okkum øll. |
Their actions must not lead us to believe that Muslims are different people than others. They are just as different and we are different. | BLARK_translated | Teirra gerðir mugu ikki fáa okkum at halda, at muslimar eru øðrvísi menniskju enn onnur. Teir eru júst líka ymiskir og vit eru ymisk. |
to silence us, oppress us, take our freedom of speech away from us, try to crush the pillars of our democracy. | BLARK_translated | øðrum, teppa okkum, taka talufrælsið frá okkum, royna at knúsa súlurnar undir okkara fólkaræði. |
And if we let ourselves be deceived, let ourselves be oppressed, let ourselves be divided and let malice and fear take hold, then we are on a dangerous course. | BLARK_translated | Og lata vit okkum ræða, lata vit okkum kúga, lata vit okkum spjaða og lata illgruna og ótta fáa fastatøkur, tá eru vit á vandakós. |
Liberté, égalité et fraternité – freedom, equality and brotherhood – are cornerstones of the French nation. | BLARK_translated | Liberté, égalité et fraternité – frælsi, javnrættur og brøðralag – eru grundarsteinar undir fronsku tjóðini. |
