We can all soon agree that the current pay system is outdated. | BLARK_translated | Vit kunnu øll skjótt verða samd um, at núverandi lønarskipan er stirvin. |
The purpose of a new public pay system must therefore be that we have a pay scale that takes account of job content, education and skills development. | BLARK_translated | Endamálið við eini nýggjari almennari lønarskipan má tí vera, at vit hava eina lønartalvu, har hædd verður tikin fyri starvsinnihaldi, útbúgving og førleikamenning. |
It is important that the structure is simple while still conveying as much as possible. | BLARK_translated | Tað er umráðandi, at struktururin er einfaldur og tó sigur so nógv sum møguligt. |
In my opinion, it is a breach of the agreements that the work has not started yet. | BLARK_translated | Eftir mínum tykki er tað brot á gjørdar avtalur, at arbeiðið ikki er fari í gongd enn. |
OF COURSE we, the parties to the agreement, are not in agreement on everything. Nor should we be. But that does not prevent good and constructive cooperation between the parties, the members and society to the benefit. | BLARK_translated | SJÁLVANDI eru vit, sáttmálapartarnir, ikki samd í øllum. Og tað skulu vit heldur ikki vera. Men tað forðar ikki fyri einum góðum og konstruktivum samstarvi partanna millum, limunum og samfelagnum at gagni. |
She calls a spade a spade. Remembers better than most. Has a beating heart for solidarity. Argues about contracts while she washes guts at Gjógv. And as a young woman she got the title in the Civil Servants’ Union to stand upright. After 25 years Anna Johannesen still loves her job as secretary in the largest union on ... | BLARK_translated | Hon kallar ein spaka fyri ein spaka. Minnist betri enn tey flestu. Hevur eitt bankandi hjarta fyri samhaldsfesti. Kjakast um sáttmálar meðan hon vaskar vembur við Gjógv. Og sum blaðung fekk hon nevndina í Starvsmannafelagnum at standa skúlarætt. Eftir 25 ár elskar Anna Johannesen framvegis sítt starv sum skrivari í stø... |
A booklet in screaming pink, “Agreements between the Faroese Government and the Civil Servants’ Association 1991,” lies on top of a stack of papers. There is also an overview of membership fees 2016. Chart of accounts | BLARK_translated | Ein bóklingur í skríggjandi pink, „Sáttmálar millum Føroya Landsstýri og Starvsmannafelagið 1991“, liggur oman á einum bunka av pappírum. Har er eisini yvirlit yvir limagjøld 2016. Kontoplanur |
I have always told myself that the day the work becomes routine, I'll leave. But it's still very varied, and no day is the same, says Anna as she clicks the white Public Servants’ Union pin. On May 1st this year it was 25 years since she was appointed as secretary of the Public Servants’ Union. | BLARK_translated | Eg havi altíð sagt við meg sjálva, at tann dagin arbeiðið verður rutina, søki eg burtur. Men enn er tað sera fjølbroytt, og ongin dagur er líka, sigur Anna og klikkir við hvíta Starvsmannafelagspenninum. Tann 1. mai í ár vóru 25 ár liðin, síðan hon varð sett í starv sum skrivari hjá Starvsmannafelagnum. |
We thought that the members themselves should be allowed to decide whether they wanted the increase in salary or the pension. Those at the Postal Union could do that. | BLARK_translated | Vit hildu, at limirnir sjálvir skuldu sleppa at avgera, um teir vildu hava hækkingina á lønina ella eftirlønina. Tað kundu tey hjá Postfelagnum. |
Anna and her group's case was dismissed, but only by one vote. | BLARK_translated | Málið hjá Annu og teimum fall, men bara við einari atkvøðu. |
That was the extent of the board’s support, says Anna, and she adds that several members of the board were very upset that they had taken it upon themselves to offer to dismiss the board. | BLARK_translated | So nevndin hevði ikki størri uppbakning enn so, sigur Anna og leggur aftrat, at fleiri í nevndini vóru sera firtin um, at tey høvdu dittað sær at bjóða nevndini av. |
Meeting with the Prime Minister. Catastrophic situation. What can be done to save what can be saved.” Thus it says in dark blue handwriting at the top left of the black notebook of Anna. A note from a crisis meeting with the then Prime Minister, Marita Petersen. Anna remembers very | BLARK_translated | Fundur við løgmann. Katastrofal støða. Hvat kann gerast fyri at bjarga tí sum bjargast kann“. Soleiðis stendur við myrkabláari hondskrift ovast í vinstru síðu í svørtu notatbókini hjá Annu. Eitt notat frá kreppufundi við táverandi løgmann, Maritu Petersen. Anna minnist sera |
I hadn't heard the radio that day. I met Jógvan Asbjørn Skaale, the television director, on Tinghúsvegur. He said that now the banks had gone crazy. | BLARK_translated | Eg hevði ikki hoyrt útvarpið tann dagin. Eg møtti Jógvan Asbjørn Skaale, sjónvarpsstjóra, á Tinghúsvegnum. Hann segði, at nú vóru bankarnir farnir á heysin. |
Anna was like many others, wise and angry that the bank started a house search. | BLARK_translated | Anna var sum nógv onnur kløkk og ovfarin av, at bankin fór á húsagang. |
I would not have imagined that the bank could go bankrupt. And then the thoughts came. Because what could not go wrong when the banks went under. | BLARK_translated | Eg hevði ikki ímyndað mær, at bankin kundi fara á heysin. Og so komu tankarnir. Tí hvat kundi ikki fara, tá bankarnir fóru. |
The following year the situation was so bad that the prime minister suddenly one day — October 20 — summoned all the trade unions to a meeting out at Tinganes at 1:00 PM. | BLARK_translated | Árið eftir var støðan so ring, at løgmaður knappliga ein dagin – 20. oktober – boðsendi øllum fakfeløgunum á fund úti í Tinganesi klokkan 13. |
We didn’t know what it was. I remember that all the union representatives stood up against the office wall, and that Marita Petersen’s first words were that this is a catastrophic situation. | BLARK_translated | Vit vistu ikki, hvat tað var. Eg minnist, at øll fakfelagsumboðini stóðu fram við vegginum á skrivstovuni, og at fyrstu orðini hjá Maritu Petersen eru, at hetta er ein katastrofal støða. |
At the meeting the prime minister, among other things, reported that 290 million were in deficit on the budget, and that the government would submit proposals to the parliament that limit wage increases and price rises. The Faroe Islands were in a bind, as she put it. That the situation was very, very serious was perfe... | BLARK_translated | Á fundinum greiddi løgmaður m.a. frá, at 290 mió vóru í halli á fíggjarlógini, og at landsstýrið fór at leggja uppskot fyri løgtingið, sum avmarkar lønarhækking og príssteðg. Føroyar vóru rabundus, sum hon málbar seg. At støðan var sera, sera álvarsom, stóð púra greitt fyri øllum. |
No one said anything. No one asked. No one protested. And then everyone left. I think we all felt so sincerely sorry for her. | BLARK_translated | Ongin segði nakað. Ongin spurdi. Ongin mótmælti. Og so fóru øll avstað. Haldi vit øll tóku so hjartaliga synd í henni. |
And many camels would have to be swallowed in the coming time. The biggest bit was that everyone would have to take a 10 percent cut in salary. | BLARK_translated | Og nógvir kamelar skuldu svølgjast komandi tíðina. Størsti bitin var, at øll skuldu 10 prosent niður í løn. |
We had to choose between this or hundreds of people losing their jobs. | BLARK_translated | Vit skuldu velja millum hetta, ella at fleiri hundrað fólk mistu starvið. |
It ended, however, with an 8.5% pay cut. Of this, 4.25% came from wages and the remainder from the pension, which at that time was only 5.5%. This reduced the pension to almost nothing. | BLARK_translated | Tað endaði tó við einum 8,5% lønarniðurskurði. Av hesum fóru 4,25% av lønini og restin av eftirlønini, sum tá bara var 5,5%. Við hesum minkaði eftirlønin niður í næstan onki. |
It was controversial to cut the wages, but that was the reality we faced at the time. The alternative was that hundreds of people would lose their jobs and homes. And we could have lost even more people from the country if we had not made this agreement. | BLARK_translated | Tað var kontroversielt at seta lønina niður, men hetta var veruleikin, vit stóðu í tá. Alternativið var, at hundraðtals fólk mistu starv og hús. Og vit kundu havt mist enn fleiri fólk av landinum, um vit ikki gjørdu hesa avtaluna. |
As the association secretary, Anna is responsible, among other things, for all communication concerning the board and for ensuring that the board's decisions are implemented. She also has full financial responsibility and handles communication with the contract parties. | BLARK_translated | Sum felagsskrivari skal Anna m.a. taka sær av øllum samskifti rundan um nevndina og syrgja fyri, at samtyktirnar hjá nevndini verða settar í verk. Eisini hevur hon alla fíggjarligu ábyrgdina og tekur sær av samskiftinum við sáttmálapartarnar. |
Bottom-rate earners get the contracts signed during the crisis with the pay cuts and what has been heard so far. And the fuss about differentiation of the wage increase in 2012 was certainly not something Anna is proud of. | BLARK_translated | Botnkarakter fáa sáttmálarnir undir kreppuni við lønarniðurskurði og tí sum hartil hoyrdi. Og fintan um diffrentiering av lønarhækkingini í 2012 var avgjørt ikki nakað, sum Anna er errin av. |
When it comes to interest in union work, Anna could well imagine greater enthusiasm among people. This has deteriorated over the years. | BLARK_translated | Tá tað snýr seg um áhuga fyri fakfelagsarbeiði, kundi Anna gott hugsað sær størri eldhuga millum fólk. Tí hetta er versnað við árunum. |
Just look at Vaglið on May 1st, she says with a crooked smile. | BLARK_translated | Hygg bara á Vaglið 1. mai, sigur hon við einum skeivum smíli. |
There is still a strong need for the trade unions to fight for rights in the labor market. | BLARK_translated | Tað er framvegis harðliga brúk fyri fakfeløgunum at stríðast fyri rættindunum á arbeiðsmarknaðinum. |
It is easy to break a matchstick. But if you have 10 matchsticks, they are harder to break. | BLARK_translated | Tað er lætt at bróta ein svávulpinn. Men hevur tú 10 svávulpinnar, eru teir torførari at bróta. |
One of the biggest challenges for the Union of Office Workers in the coming years is to improve the conditions for clerical staff. This applies both to pay and to other areas. Ordinary clerical jobs have, namely, dwindled due to increased digitalization and academization. | BLARK_translated | Ein tann størsta avbjóðingin hjá Starvsmannafelagnum næstu árini er at bøta um karmarnar hjá skrivstovufólkunum. Bæði tá tað snýr seg um løn, men eisini á øðrum økjum. Vanligu skrivstovustørvini eru nevniliga farin at fækkast orsakað av øktari talgilding og akademisering. |
A group is sitting and working on digitization for the next three years. And we see what is happening in the neighboring countries. We cannot fight against this trend, but rather move with it, Anna says. | BLARK_translated | Ein bólkur situr og arbeiðir við talgilding næstu trý árini. Og vit síggja, hvat hendir í grannalondunum. Vit kunnu ikki berjast ímóti hesum rákinum, men heldur flyta okkum við tí, heldur Anna. |
Many clerical jobs are disappearing and being filled again with people who have higher education. But it seems to be difficult for members of the Union of Office Workers, who have acquired, for example, a bachelor’s degree or other skills development, to get more in their pay packet. If the same people join another uni... | BLARK_translated | Nógv skrivstovustørv hvørva og verða sett aftur við fólki, sum hava hægri útbúgvingar. Men tað tykist vera trupult hjá limum í Starvsmannafelagnum, sum hava nomið sær t.d. bachelorútbúgving ella aðra førleikamenning, at fáa meira í lønarposan. Fara somu fólk í annað fakfelag, tykist ongin trupulleiki vera hjá arbeiðsge... |
She is pleased that the work to create a new pay system for the public labor market will begin this autumn. Hopefully this will correct these issues. | BLARK_translated | Hon fegnast um, at arbeiðið at gera nýggja lønarskipan fyri almenna arbeiðsmarknaðin byrjar í heyst. So fáa vit vónandi rættað uppá hesi viðurskifti. |
Anna points out that another major challenge for the labor movement is obesity. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), obesity will become a widespread public health problem by 2020, so this is truly a task for the trade unions to take care of. | BLARK_translated | Ein onnur stór avbjóðing hjá fakfelagsrørsluni er strongd, vísir Anna á. Sambært heimsheilsustovninum, WHO, verður strongd ein fólkasjúka í 2020, so her er veruliga ein uppgáva hjá fakfeløgunum at taka sær av. |
Not entirely off track. Article 23 deals with overtime, while Article 24 covers voluntary extra work. | BLARK_translated | Ikki heilt av leið. Grein 23 snýr seg um meirarbeiði, meðan grein 24 fevnir um sjálvboðið eyka arbeiði. |
Anna admits that it has its advantages that someone has been with the company for a long time. Someone who knows the history and the previous conditions. | BLARK_translated | Tað hevur sínar fyrimunir, at onkur persónur hevur verið leingi í felagnum, ásannar Anna. Onkur sum kennir søguna og viðurskiftini fyrr. |
People come, and people go. It's good that there is someone who remembers where we came from. The question is whether Anna Johannesen intends to take another 25 years. | BLARK_translated | Fólk koma, og fólk fara. Tað er gott at onkur er, sum minnist, hvar vit komu frá. Spurningurin er so, um Anna Johannesen ætlar sær at taka 25 ár aftrat |
Of course we, the contracting parties, do not agree on everything. And we shouldn't. But that does not prevent good and constructive cooperation between the parties, the members and society for the benefit of all. So with that I welcome | BLARK_translated | Sjálvandi eru vit, sáttmálapartarnir, ikki samd í øllum. Og tað skulu vit heldur ikki vera. Men tað forðar ikki fyri einum góðum og konstruktivum samstarvi partanna millum, limunum og samfelagnum at gagni. So við hesum bjóði |
Súni, who has been vice-chairman all these eight years while Selma Ellingsgaard was the association’s chairwoman, had everything needed to handle the management. With that in mind he said he felt no fear now that he himself would take over as chairman. The tasks are many in an association that covers so many members in... | BLARK_translated | Súni, sum hevur verið næstformaður øll hesi átta árini, Selma Ellingsgaard var forkvinna felagsins, hevði alt gott at bera umsitingini. Við tí í huga segði hann seg ikki bera nakran ótta, nú hann sjálvur skuldi taka við sum formaður. Uppgávurnar eru mangar í einum felag, sum fevnir so mangar limir á so mongum starvsøkj... |
Rightly, Súni could acknowledge that a new era lay ahead of him, after having worked at the same workplace – the Broadcasting Corporation – for a solid 30 years. He was glad for his time there, but was equally pleased about the new challenges, which he would do everything to handle responsibly. | BLARK_translated | Av røttum kundi Súni ásanna, at ein nýggj tíð stendur honum fyri framman, eftir at hava starvast á sama arbeiðsplássi – Kringvarpinum – í stívliga 30 ár. Hann fegnaðist um tíðina har, men fegnaðist eins nógv um nýggju avbjóðingarnar, sum hann fór at gera alt fyri at røkja á ábyrgdarfullan hátt. |
Alma Hansen and Harald H. Haraldsen. After the general meeting, the committee appointed itself with Niels á Reynatúgvu as vice-chairman. He was already on the committee and has one year left of his term. | BLARK_translated | Alma Hansen og Harald H. Haraldsen. Eftir aðalfundin skipaði nevndin seg við Niels á Reynatúgvu sum næstformanni. Hann sat í nevndini frammanundan og hevur eitt ár eftir av sínum valskeiði. |
At the general meeting Bjørg Jacobsen was elected employee representative of the year. Bjørg works as a coordinator in the marketing and production department at Føroya Tele. The board of the Employees’ Association, which elects the employee representative of the year, says in its reasoning that: | BLARK_translated | Á aðalfundinum varð Bjørg Jacobsen kosin ársins álitisfólk. Bjørg arbeiðir sum samskipari á marknaðar- og produktiónsdeildini á Føroya Tele. Nevndin í Starvsmannafelagnum, sum velur ársins álitisfólk, sigur í grundgevingunum at: |
a trusted representative conscientiously and responsibly carried out the role and spoke up for the staff. Throughout her career she has fought for the rights of her colleagues, while also raising awareness, interest, and respect for the system of elected employee representatives. | BLARK_translated | álitisfólk samvitskufult og ábyrgdarfult røkt starvið og talað søk starvsfólkanna. Hon hevur gjøgnum yrki sítt stríðst fyri rættindum hjá starvsfeløgum sínum, samstundis sum hon hevur vakt ans, áhuga og virðing fyri álitisfólkaskipanini. |
Laura Farsø Jacobsen and Laila Jacobsen are about to be finished being trained as medical secretaries. In connection with a | BLARK_translated | Laura Farsø Jacobsen og Laila Jacobsen eru um at vera liðugt útbúnar sum læknaskrivarar. Í sambandi við eina |
The training as a medical secretary lasts two years if the students already have a 3-year secondary education. Three times for three weeks, and once for four, in the classroom and the rest of the time in various departments at the hospital. In the Faroe Islands the practical part of the training takes place at the Nati... | BLARK_translated | Útbúgvingin sum læknaskrivari gongur yvir tvey ár um tey lesandi frammanundan hava eina 3 ára miðnámsútbúgving. Tríggjar ferðir tríggjar vikur, og eina ferð fýra, á skúlabonki og restina av tíðini á ymiskum deildum á sjúkrahúsi. Í Føroyum fer praktiski parturin av útbúgvingini fram á Landssjúkrahúsinum. |
A statutory warning system, where members of the public can report irregular activity at their workplace anonymously, had revealed matters that would otherwise not have come to light. | BLARK_translated | Ein lógarfest varskógvaraskipan, har alment sett ónevnd kunnu fráboða óregluligt virksemi á sínum arbeiðsplássi, hevði avdúkað viðurskifti, sum annars ikki høvdu komið fram. |
This is the conclusion of the main thesis on whistleblowing in the Faroe Islands, which the two of them, Anly Sandberg Joensen and Marin Karlsdóttir, have written at the University of Copenhagen. | BLARK_translated | Hetta er niðurstøðan í høvuðsritgerð um whistleblowing í Føroyum, sum tær báðar, Anly Sandberg Joensen og Marin Karlsdóttir, hava skrivað við Lærda Háskúlan í Keypmannahavn. |
They have investigated the need for a whistleblowing system in the Faroe Islands. | BLARK_translated | Tær hava kannað tørvin á eini whistle-blowingskipan í Føroyum. |
According to the main thesis, the public generally in the Faroe Islands hinders itself by warning. | BLARK_translated | Sambært høvuðsritgerðini aftra alment sett í Føroyum seg við at varskógva. |
The cause is probably that employees doubt their rights and fear the consequences. | BLARK_translated | Atvoldin er helst, at starvsfólk ivast í rættindum sínum og óttast avleiðingarnar. |
Doing a whistleblow in the Faroe Islands can have particularly serious consequences — both personal and professional — because matters are so small here in the country, the thesis finds. | BLARK_translated | Tað kann hava serliga álvarsligar avleiðingar – bæði persónliga og starvsliga – at gera eitt whistleblow í Føroyum, tí viðurskiftini eru so smá her á landi, staðfestir ritgerðin. |
Experiences in neighboring countries indicate that the anonymous early-warning system has led to irregularities coming to light. | BLARK_translated | Royndirnar í grannalondunum benda á, at dulnevndar varskógvarskipanin hava fingið óreglusemið fram í ljósmála. |
The lawyers believe that it can be an advantage to legislate in the area, as they have done in, for example, Norway and Greenland, so that the legal situation becomes clear. In this connection, it is important to have rules that ensure that employees who have no employer can report suspicions of wrongdoing without fear... | BLARK_translated | Løgfrøðingarnir halda, at tað kann vera ein fyrimunur at lóggeva á økinum, eins og tey hava gjørt í t.d. Norra og Grønlandi, so at rættarstøðan verður greið. Í hesum sambandi hevur tað týdning við reglum, sum tryggja, at starvsfólk ekkaleys kunnu boða frá illgruna um óreglusemi, uttan at óttast fyri starvsligum avleiði... |
When the final amount is gone, the fund will only, at a constant steady level, purchase various insurances on behalf of the members. | BLARK_translated | Tá lokaupphæddin er burturi, kemur grunnurin bert, á samhaldsføstum støði, at keypa ymsar tryggingar vegna limirnar. |
The majority of the foundation's income comes from payments by its members, while only a small part is financial income. And these have been very unreliable in recent years. | BLARK_translated | Meginparturin av inntøkunum hjá grunninum eru inngjøldini frá limunum, meðan bert ein lítil partur eru fíggjarinntøkur. Og hesar hava verið sera svikaligar seinnu árini. |
The chairman acknowledged that it might seem expensive to buy insurance, but that one should always compare the cost with what you get for the money. | BLARK_translated | Formaðurin ásannaði at tað kanska tykjast kostnaðarmikið at keypa sær tryggingar, men at ein altíð skal samanbera kostnað og tað, ið fæst fyri peningin. |
Last year one of our members died and four members received a payment in connection with having lost their spouse. | BLARK_translated | Í fjør doyði ein av limum okkara og fýra limir fingu gjald í sambandi við at teir høvdu mist makan. |
The number of confirmed serious illnesses was 16, and 10 members were granted premium waivers due to illness or injury. The option for premium waivers was introduced after the amendments in 2010. These meant that the fund also undertook to grant members who become incapacitated for work a premium waiver, so that they c... | BLARK_translated | Talið av staðfestum hættisligum sjúkum var 16 og fingu 10 limir veitta gjaldsundantøku vegna sjúku ella skaðar. Møguleikin fyri gjaldsundantøku kom í lag aftaná viðtøkubroytingarnar í 2010. Hesar høvdu við sær, at grunnurin eisini átekur sær at veita limum, ið gerast óarbeiðsførir, gjaldsundantøku, so at hesir framhald... |
In the chairman’s report it was stated that the fund is still not sufficiently capable of indicating what options members have. Unfortunately it happens that members do not seem to know that they are insured and therefore do not become aware of this until the statute of limitations has passed. The staff magazine and th... | BLARK_translated | Í formansfrágreiðinginin varð staðfest, at grunnurin enn ikki er dugnaligur nokk at siga frá hvørjir møguleikar limir hava. Tað kemur tíverri fyri, at limir ikki tykjast vita, at teir eru tryggjaðir og tí ikki gerast varur við hetta, fyrr enn fyrningartíðin er farin.

The largest single expense item for the Social Insurance Fund is still the final benefit. In 2015 the final benefit was paid to 52 members, who together received just over 4.8 million kroner. | BLARK_translated | Størsti einsæris útgjaldsposturin hjá Samlagstryggingargrunninum er framvegis lokaupphæddin. Í 2015 varð lokaupphædd útgoldin 52 limum, sum tilsamans fingu góðar 4,8 milliónir krónur. |
At the general meeting, Selma Ellingsgaard thanked everyone as she stepped down as a board member. During her eight years she served as chairwoman of the Employees’ Association and was also a member of the board of the Joint Insurance Fund. Replacing her is the association’s new chairman, Súni Selfoss. The other two bo... | BLARK_translated | Á aðalfundinum takkaði Selma Ellingsgaard fyri seg sum nevndarlimur. Hon hevur, tey átta árini, hon hevur sitið sum forkvinna í Starvsmannafelagnum, eisini verið limur í nevndini fyri Samlagstryggingargrunnin. Í hennara stað kemur nýggi formaður felagsins, Súni Selfoss. Hinir báðir nevndarlimirnir, Jákup Danielsen og J... |
The association's goal is to create frameworks for communication among its members, strengthen the professional cohesion of social workers, influence social policy from the perspective of social workers, and participate in public debate about social inequality. | BLARK_translated | Málsetningur felagsins er at skapa karmar fyri samskifti millum limirnar, styrkja fakliga samleikan hjá sosialráðgevarum, ávirka samfelagsgongdina út frá sjónarhorninum hjá sosialráðgevanum og at vera við í samfelagskjaki um sosialan ójavna. |
Our biggest challenge today is probably that we are not visible enough in society and in public debate, even though we as social workers have great knowledge in the social field. For example about the poverty line, integration of foreigners and other issues that have been much discussed in recent years, says Jacoba Juu... | BLARK_translated | Okkara størsta avbjóðing í dag er helst, at vit ikki eru nóg sjónlig í samfelagnum og í samfelagskjakinum, hóast vit sum sosialráðgevar hava eina stóra vitan á sosiala økinum. Eitt nú um fátækramarkið, integratión av útlendingum og onnur evni, sum hava verið nógv umrødd seinastu árini, sigur Jacoba Juulsdóttir Jacobsen... |
no longer have a social worker employed. This has major consequences for the patients when it comes to social benefits, housing and social counseling, says Jacoba. | BLARK_translated | ongan sosialráðgeva longur hava í starvi. Hevur hetta stórar avleiðingar fyri sjúklingarnar, tá ræður um sosialar veitingar, bústað og sosiala ráðgeving, sigur Jacoba. |
Originally Faroese social workers were members of the Danish association for social workers, but because contractual arrangements with Faroese authorities were different than in Denmark, a decision was made to establish a separate Faroese association, which held its founding general meeting on June 10, 1976. The associ... | BLARK_translated | Upprunaliga vóru føroyskir sosialráðavarar limir í danska felagnum fyri sosialráðgevarar, men av tí at avtaluviðurskifti við føroyskar myndurgleikar vóru øðrvísi enn í Danmark, varð avgerð tikin um at stovna egið føroyskt felag, sum hevði sín stovnandi aðalfund 10. juni 1976.

On January 1 the following year there were seven members in the Social Workers’ Association of the Faroe Islands, which today counts 55 members.

The largest protest march in living memory was at Vaglin; hemp people of course would not accept the great injustice. But what did Kaj and those in authority do about it? They simply kept their mouths shut, sat and waited to see how the game would play out, while the tremors thundered from the mid-slopes downwards. The... | BLARK_translated | Størsta mótmælisgonga í manna minni var á Vaglinum; hampafólk vildu sjálvandi ikki finna seg í stóra órættinum. Men hvat løgdu Kaj og teir í tað? Teir hildu bara tunguna mitt í munninum, sótu og bíðaðu hvussu leikur fór, meðan skjálvtarnir buldraðu frá miðfláunum og niðureftir. Táverandi andstøða var skjót at lofta ónø... |
The path is laid into a digital future, where data will come to have the same great importance that oil had for the 20th century. New resources in the 21st | BLARK_translated | Leiðin er løgd inn í eina talgilda framtíð, har data fer at hava sama stóra týdning, sum oljan hevði fyri 20. øld. Nýggja tilfeingi í 21. |
age becomes data, and a new society will emerge. | BLARK_translated | øld verður data, og eitt nýtt samfelag fer at vaksa fram. |
That was said by Bo Dahlbom, professor, in a presentation at the conference of the Nordic professional unions. | BLARK_translated | Tað segði Bo Dahlbom, professari, í framløgu á ráðstevnuni hjá norðurlendskum fakfeløgunum. |
We have had 100 years of fantastic economic growth, driven mainly by oil, but in the future it will be data that is the main source of value. | BLARK_translated | Vit hava havt 100 ár við fantastiskum búskaparvøkstri, har oljan hevur verið drívmegin, men í framtíðini verður tað data, sum verður megintilfeingið. |
Local services will disappear and global services will take over. | BLARK_translated | Lokalar tænastur fara at hvørva og globalar tænastur at taka yvir. |
The work had been moved from the factories into the offices, and there are also demands for efficiency there. The way to achieve efficiency is surveillance and monitoring of employees. | BLARK_translated | Arbeiðið var flutt av verksmiðjunum og inn á skrivstovurnar, og har eru eisini krøv um effektivitet. Mátin at fáa effektivitet er yvirvaking og eftirlit við starvsfólkum. |
Now we have Instagram. When Facebook bought Instagram 13 people worked there. The big companies earn much more today and have ever fewer employees, the professor pointed out. | BLARK_translated | Nú hava vit Instagram. Tá Facebook keypti Instragram arbeiddu 13 fólk har. Stóru fyritøkurnar tjena nógv meiri í dag og hava alt færri i starvi, vísti professarin á. |
in the countries that do not have the internet, but the large companies extend themselves to offer everyone — even — free internet. | BLARK_translated | í jørðini, sum ikki hava internet, men stóru fyritøkurnar spenna seg út at bjóða øllum – enntá – ókeypis internet. |
And the politicians do not have the strength to stand up against these large companies, because politicians are also indebted to them, said Bo Dahlbom. | BLARK_translated | Og politikararnir hava ikki styrki at seta seg móti hesum stóru fyritøkunum, tí politikarar eru eisini heftir at teimum, segði Bo Dahlbom. |
He mentioned two major challenges. First, that all work will begin to change and the number of jobs will decrease. And that is happening quickly. | BLARK_translated | Hann nevndi tvær stórar avbjóðingar. Í fyrsta lagi, at øll arbeiði fara at broytast og talið á arbeiðsplássum fer at minka. Og tað hendir skjótt. |
When it comes to being involved in that work, it is crucial that the trade unions do not compete with each other. | BLARK_translated | Tá ræður um at vera við tí arbeiðinum, og tað ræður avgjørt um, at fakfeløgini ikki kappast við hvørt annað. |
In Sweden it can be seen everywhere that the trade unions put most of their energy into competing with each other, said Bo Dahlbom. | BLARK_translated | Í Svøríki sæst summastaðni, at fakfeløgini leggja størstu orku í at kappast við hvørt annað, segði Bo Dahlbom. |
Secondly, the trade unions must lift themselves up and not be an association for obsolete workplaces. | BLARK_translated | Í øðrum lagi mugu fakfeløgini lyfta seg uppfrá og ikki vera eitt áhugafelag fyri avoldað arbeiðspláss. |
You must take on this task. The trade unions must stand for justice, and you must stand for a fairer distribution of all those new billions, said Bo Dahlbom. | BLARK_translated | Tit mugu taka hesa uppgávu á tykkum. Fakfeløgini mugu standa fyri rættvísi, og tit mugu standa fyri einum javnari býti at øllum teimum nýggju milliardunum, segði Bo Dahlbom. |
The working life we are heading into in this century is becoming more and more affected/marked. | BLARK_translated | Arbeiðslívið, sum vit ganga ímóti í hesi øldini, verður meiri og meiri merkt |
out of uncertainty. We must each be active in our own way. The old associations are being dismantled. Previously it was enough to be in a permanent job, but this is also going to change. | BLARK_translated | av óvissu. Vit mugu vera virkin hvør í sínum lagi. Gomlu felagsskapirnir verða niðurlaðaðir. Fyrr var nóg mikið at vera í føstum starvi, men hetta fer eisini at broytast. |
It is no longer necessary to be sitting in an office in order to be able to work. | BLARK_translated | Tað er ikki longur nakað krav fyri at kunna arbeiða, at vit sita á eini skrivstovu |
flexibility in the labor market. He drew a picture in which he placed employees according to whether they were active or not, and whether they were closely or loosely tied to the labor market. His contention was that the trade unions today work for those who have permanent | BLARK_translated | smidleika á arbeiðsmarknaðinum. Hann teknaði eina mynd, har hann setti starvsfólk inn í eftir, um tey vóru virkin ella ikki, og um tey vóru føst ella leyst knýtt at arbeiðsmarknaðinum. Hansara uppáhald var, at fakfeløgini í dag arbeiða fyri teimum, sum hava fast |
We must dare to believe that the future will be fantastic, but we must also work to ensure that we get a fantastic future. That was said by Veronica Magnusson from the Swedish Vision at the conference of the Nordic trade unions for public employees, which was in Tórshavn at the end of April. | BLARK_translated | Vit skulu tora at trúgva, at framtíðin verður fantastisk, men vit skulu eisini arbeiða fyri, at vit fáa eina fantastiska framtíð. Tað segði Veronica Magnusson frá svenska Vision á ráðstevnuni hjá norðurlendsku fakfeløgunum hjá alment settum, sum var í Havn síðst í apríl. |
She described the challenges facing the unions in three words: demographics, digitalization and globalization. | BLARK_translated | Hon lýsti avbjóðingarnar hjá fakfeløgunum við trimum orðum: demografi, talgilding og alheimsgerð. |
There will be increasingly more elderly people and that will also affect the entire working life. As a union we must handle the small everyday challenges, but also dare to deal with the big trends of the times. For example the change in the population composition, said Veronica Magnusson. | BLARK_translated | Tað vera alt fleiri eldri og tað fer eisini at ávirka alt arbeiðslívið. Vit skulu sum fakfelag handfara tær smáu gerandisavbjóðingarnar, men eisini tora at handfara tey stóru rákini í tíðini. Eitt nú broytingin í fólkasamansetingini, segði Veronica Magnusson. |
At the same time as the challenges facing trade unions are great in a digital society, they in the neighboring countries notice that the desire to become a member of a trade union is decreasing. Therefore it is also a challenge that all the Nordic trade unions face. If the trade unions are to have the strength to influ... | BLARK_translated | Samstundis sum avbjóðingarnar hjá fakfeløgunum eru stórar í einum talgildum samfelag, so merkja tey í grannalondunum, at hugurin at verða limur í einum fakfelag minkar. Tí er tað eisini ein avbjóðing, sum øll tey norðurlendsku fakfeløgini hava. Skulu fakfeløgini hava styrki at ávirka gongdina, so mugu feløgini hava lim... |
The young people are active, but do the trade unions have enough to offer them?, she asked. | BLARK_translated | Tey ungu eru virkin, men hava fakfeløgini nóg mikið at bjóða teimum?, spurdi hon. |
Power/energy – it always finds the shortest path. Therefore the unions must make it easy and effortless for young people to become active in the unions. | BLARK_translated | ravmagn – tað finnur altíð stytsta vegin. Tí mugu fakfeløgini gera tað lætt og ómakaleyst hjá ungum at gerast virkin í fakfeløgunum. |
We have a lot of money and can employ people in positions who can help us — advisers and lawyers. We have the opportunity to be part of all the changes, and I do not want to be standing here in 20 years asking why we did not take up the challenge, said Veronica Magnusson. | BLARK_translated | Vit hava nógvan pening og kunnu seta fólk í størv, sum kunnu hjálpa okkum – ráðgevar og sakførarar. Vit hava møguleikan at verða við í øllum broytingunum, og eg vil ikki standa her um 20 ár og spyrja, hví tóku vit ikki av avbjóðingini, segði Veronica Magnusson. |
Lizzie Ruud Thorkildsen from the Norwegian Delta also pointed out that the trade unions must step onto the field and show which direction they think society should go. | BLARK_translated | Lizzie Ruud Thorkildsen úr norska Delta vísti eisini á, at fakfeløgini mugu inn á vøllin og vísa, hvønn veg tey halda at samfelagið skal fara. |
We as trade unions should not just follow the conversation about the future. We should influence the discussion and the course of events. Development moves so fast that what used to take 20 years now maybe takes two or four years. | BLARK_translated | Vit sum fakfeløg skulu ikki bara fylgja við í orðaskiftinum um framtíðina. Vit skulu ávirka orðaskiftið og gongdina. Menningin gongur so skjótt, at tað sum fyrr tók 20 ár, tekur nú kanska tvey ella fýra ár. |
The demands for efficiency and rapid changes are visible everywhere, and the trade unions must consider how they will respond to the changes. | BLARK_translated | Krøvini um effektivitet og skjótar broytingar síggjast alla staðni og fakfeløgini mugu hugsa, hvussu tey taka móti broytingunum. |
We can ask ourselves who will be working in the public sector in 10 years. Which tasks will disappear and which new ones will arise? This is part of the work of a trade union, said Lissie Ruud Thorkildsen. | BLARK_translated | Vit kunnu spyrja okkum, hvør arbeiðir hjá tí almenna um 10 ár. Hvørjar uppgávur hvørva og hvørjar nýggjar koma? Hetta er ein partur av arbeiðinum hjá einum fakfelag, helt Lissie Ruud Thorkildsen. |
We should not be in too great antagonism with the employers. We should have more shared interests with the employers about where and how our society should move. – We as trade unions should be constructive contributors when changes are about to take place. We in Denmark are still too afraid of changes, said Bodil Otto. | BLARK_translated | Vit eiga ikki at vera í ov stórari andsøgn við arbeiðsgevararnar. Vit eiga at hava fleiri felags áhugamál við arbeiðsgevararnar um, hvar og hvussu okkara samfelag skal flyta seg. – Vit sum fakfeløg skulu vera uppbyggjandi viðspælarar, tá broytingarnar standa fyri durum. Vit eru í Danmark enn ov bangin fyri broytingum, ... |
Employers should bear in mind that the prerequisite for modernizing the labour market is that the trade unions are partners. | BLARK_translated | Arbeiðsgevararnir skulu helst hugsa, at fortreytin fyri at nýmótansgera arbeiðsmarknaðin er, at fakfeløgini eru viðspælarar. |
We must gain influence both formally and informally. The trusted representatives should have a new role, where they are more involved in the development and changes at the workplaces, rather than fearing the changes. | BLARK_translated | Vit skulu vinna ávirkan bæði formliga og óformliga. Álitisfólkini skulu hava ein nýggjan leiklut, har tey verða meiri við í menningini og broytingunum á arbeiðsplássunum, heldur enn at ræðast broytingarnar. |
She said that the Danish trade union movement was working to change the role of shop stewards, but she knew it would be a long process. | BLARK_translated | Hon segði, at danska fakfelagsrørslan arbeiddi við at broyta leiklutin hjá álitisfólkunum, men hon visti at tað bleiv ein drúgv tilgongd. |
