For society it is in any case of great importance that we ourselves control the digitalization of the Faroe Islands, and that is what we are doing with this project, says Nicolai M. Balle. | BLARK_translated | Fyri samfelagið hevur tað í øllum førum stóran týdning, at vit sjálv stýra talgildingini av Føroyum, og tað er tað vit gera við hesari verkætlanini, sigur Nicolai M. Balle. / |
I miss an announcement from the authorities about this, and in my opinion that announcement should come now. Before we get too far along in the process, says Súni Selfoss. | BLARK_translated | Eg sakni eina fráboðan frá myndugleikunum um hetta, og eftir mínum tykki eigur henda fráboðan at koma nú. Áðrenn vit koma ov langt í tilgongdini, sigur Súni Selfoss. |
We would like to know what the main purpose of digitization and automation is. Are the savings the primary goal? Or is it to provide citizens with a better service? Our task is to be an active participant in the development, but our task is also to protect the employees so they are not left out in the cold, says the ch... | BLARK_translated | Vit vilja fegin hava at vita, hvat høvuðsendamálið við talgilding og automatisering er. Eru tað sparingarnar sum standa fyrst? Ella er tað fyri at veita borgarunum eina betri tænstu? Okkara uppgáva er at vera ein aktivur viðspælari í menningini, men okkara uppgáva er eisini at verja starvsfólkini, so tey ikki vera slep... |
According to Eyðun Mørkøre, this has, as mentioned, resulted in the number of staff being reduced by 23, who, according to him, all left with normal severance. | BLARK_translated | Sambært Eyðuni Mørkøre hevur tað sum nevnt havt við sær, at starvsfólkatalið er lækkað við 23, sum, sambært honum, øll eru farin við vanligari frágongd. |
That is what Eyðun Mørkøre, director at Taks, says as he explains the changes the institution has undergone in recent many years. | BLARK_translated | Tað sigur Eyðun Mørkøre, stjóri á Taks, tá hann greiðir frá broytingunum, sum stovnurin hevur verið ígjøgnum seinastu mongu árini. |
If we go far enough back, all the work that involved the tax authorities — and customs for that matter — was manual. Both for citizens and businesses, and for the authorities. But that is no longer the case. As the years have passed, the Tax Authority has reorganized the work, and today a large part of the work is auto... | BLARK_translated | Fara vit nóg langt aftur, var alt arbeiðið, sum hevði við skattamyndugleikan – og toll fyri tað eisini – manuelt. Bæði hjá borgarunum og vinnuni, og hjá myndugleikanum. Men soleiðis er ikki longur. Sum árini eru gingin, hevur Taks lagt arbeiðið um, og í dag er ein stórur partur av arbeiðinum automatiseraður. |
But of course we have reduced the staff. It almost goes without saying, because when you automate tasks, less labor effort needs to be used on that part. But those who have left have left naturally, that is to say, they are people who have either chosen to leave themselves, or people who have left because of age, says ... | BLARK_translated | Men sjálvandi hava vit minkað um starvsfólkahópin. Tað sigur seg næstan sjálvt, tí tá tú automatiserar uppgávur, so skal minni arbeiðsorka brúkast uppá tann partin. Men tey, sum eru farin, eru farin náttúrliga, tað vil siga, at tað eru fólk sum antin hava valt at fara sjálvi, ella fólk sum eru farin frá fyri aldur, sig... |
He adds that the institution has the goal that both the institution and the staff should constantly move forward, and therefore management would like the staff to be open to development opportunities. | BLARK_translated | Hann leggur afturat, at tey á stovninum hava tað mál, at bæði stovnur og starvsfólk alla tíðina skulu flyta seg frameftir, og tí vil leiðslan fegin hava, at starvsfólkini eru opin fyri menningarmøguleikum. |
In our view this is the right way forward, because it benefits the agency and the employees, and then there is a greater chance that it will also benefit the taxpayers, says the director of Taks. | BLARK_translated | Eftir okkara tykki er hetta rætti vegurin fram, tí tað gagnar stovni og starvsfólki, og tá er størri møguleiki fyri, at tað eisini gagnar skattaborgarunum, sigur stjórin á Taks. / |
We are creating a platform that in the future will make it possible to coordinate data and information, says Nicolai M. Balle, project manager at Digital Faroe Islands. | BLARK_translated | Vit skapa ein pall, sum í framtíðini fer at gera tað møguligt at samskipa data og upplýsingar, sigur Nicolai M. Balle, verkætlanarstjóri hjá Talgildu Føroyum |
The Pharmacy Service was in roughly the same position, and there the institution also chose to promote those employees who were in between. | BLARK_translated | Apoteksverkið var í nøkulunda somu støðu, og eisini har valdi stovnurin at uppstiga tey starvsfólkini, sum lógu ímillum. |
But not all institutions have the money available when digitization begins, and therefore it is necessary that the authorities are involved — and take responsibility. That says Edvard Heen, director of the Welfare Agency. | BLARK_translated | Men tað eru ikki allir stovnar sum hava peningin tøkan, tá farið verður undir talgilding, og tí er neyðugt, at myndugleikin er við – og tekur ábyrgd. Tað sigur Edvard Heen, stjóri í Almannaverkinum. |
But the large institutions, such as the Social Welfare Agency, do not have much to give when it comes to allocation, and therefore the authorities must step in, the director of the Social Welfare Agency adds. | BLARK_translated | Men stóru stovnarnir, sum t.d. Almannaverkið, hava ikki nógv at geva av, tá tað snýr seg um játtan, og tí má myndugleikin spæla við, leggur stjórin á Almannaverkinum afturat. |
At Digital Faroe Islands they have now been underway since the summer of 2015, and the goal is to organize things so that citizens and businesses can communicate and handle their affairs with the public sector, that services from the public sector and from industry are available online, and that public sector provision... | BLARK_translated | Hjá Talgildu Føroyum hava tey nú verið í gongd síðan á sumri í 2015, og málið er at skipa soleiðis fyri, at borgarar og virkir kunnu samskifta og avgreiða síni viðurskifti við tað almenna, at tænastur hjá tí almenna og hjá vinnuni eru tøkar á netinum og at veitingar og mannagongdir í tí almenna eru talgildar. |
The aim of the project is to modernize welfare and services for citizens, to provide prerequisites so that the public sector can be made more efficient, and to improve competitiveness and create greater growth and production capacity. | BLARK_translated | Málið við verkætlanini er at nútímansgera vælferðina og tænasturnar hjá borgarunum, at útvega fyritreytir fyri at almenni geirin kann effektiviserast og at bøta um kappingarføri og skapa størri vøkstur og framleiðsluorku. |
Nicolai M. Balle is a project manager at Talgildu Føroyum, and he understands that the chairman of the Employees’ Association is doubtful, because although the project he is leading is not an efficiency project in itself, it is quite likely that it will bring about efficiency gains. | BLARK_translated | Nicolai M. Balle er verkætlanarstjóri hjá Talgildu Føroyum, og hann skilir sum so, at formaðurin í Starvsmannafelagnum ivast, tí hóast verkætlanin hann er leiðari fyri, ikki er ein effektiviseringsverkætlan í sjálvum sær, er rættiliga sannlíkt, at hon fer at hava effektiviseringar við sær. |
We are creating a platform that in the future will make it possible to coordinate data and information, and over time it can bring savings. So it is probably sensible to include that part, but it is not a task that we at Digital Faroe Islands have anything to do with, says Nicolai Balle. | BLARK_translated | Vit skapa ein pall, sum í framtíðini fer at gera tað møguligt at samskipa data og upplýsingar, og tað kann hava við tíðini hava sparingar við sær. Tí er tað ivaleyst skilagott at hava tann partin við, men tað er ikki ein uppgáva sum vit í Talgildu Føroyar hava nakað við at gera, sigur Nicolai Balle. |
Either we choose to take the matter into our own hands and organize the digitization ourselves, or we may end up having it imposed on us. Then we will have little or no influence over how it looks, and that is a sensible step, says Kristina Háfoss. | BLARK_translated | Antin velja vit at taka málið í egnar hendur og skipa talgildingina sjálvi, ella kunnu vit enda við at fáa tað kroyst niðuryvir okkum. Tá hava vit lítla ella onga ávirkan á, hvussu tað sær út, og tí er hetta eitt skilagott stig, sigur Kristina Háfoss. |
And she partly agrees with the chairman of the Civil Servants' Association. The task of ensuring that employees fare well afterwards, for example if they lose their jobs, must be taken in all seriousness. | BLARK_translated | Og hon er lutvíst samd við formanninum í Starvsmannafelagnum. Uppgávan at syrgja fyri, at starvsfólkini koma væl víðari, um tey t.d. missa arbeiði, skal takast í fullum álvara. |
In my opinion, it is the institutions’ task to organize this. They should describe the consequences for their field of work, but of course the country — for example the Payroll Department — should be involved. Therefore, in my view the Payroll Department should be developed so that it can handle the task, says Kristina... | BLARK_translated | Eftir mínum tykki er tað uppgávan hjá stovnunum at skipa fyri. Teir skulu lýsa avleiðingarnar fyri sítt arbeiðsøki, men sjálvandi skal landið – t.d. Lønardeildin – vera við. Tí skal Lønardeildin eftir mínum tykki mennast, so hon klárar at lyfta uppgávuna, sigur Kristina Háfoss. |
The question is when the steps will be taken. According to the chairman of the Employees' Association it must be done right away, so the staff know where they stand. | BLARK_translated | Spurningurin er so, nær stigini vera tikin. Sambært formanninum í Starvsmannafelagnum skal tað gerast alt fyri eitt, so starvsfólkini vita, hvar tey eru: |
Kristina Háfoss, the government minister responsible for finance, is convinced that the work initiated with the Digital Faroe Islands project will be a great advantage for the country, its citizens, and the business sector. | BLARK_translated | Kristina Háfoss, landsstýriskvinna við fíggjarmálum er sannførd um, at arbeiðið, sum er sett í verk við verkætlanini Talgildu Føroyar, verður ein stórur fyrimunur fyri bæði land, borgarar og vinnulív. |
The work will be organized so that, among other things, a digital identity will be created, and this will mean that it will be easier for citizens to log into the various systems. | BLARK_translated | Arbeiðið verður skipað soleiðis, at har skal millum annað gerast ein talgildur samleiki, og hann fer at hava við sær, at tað verður einfaldari hjá borgarunum at logga seg á tær ymsu skipanirnar. |
But there are also other possibilities that perhaps have not been much in the foreground. Among other things, a common platform can make it possible for people living on outer islands to still use those services that are not accessible today. | BLARK_translated | Men tað eru eisini aðrir møguleikar, sum kanska ikki hava verið so nógv frammi. Tað er millum annað, at ein felags plattformur kann gera tað møguligt hjá fólki sum búgva á útoyggj og kortini brúka tær tænasturnar, sum ikki eru atkomiligar í dag. |
According to Kristina Háfoss, the most important thing, however, is that it is now we ourselves who decide how we will organize ourselves. | BLARK_translated | Tað týdningarmesta er tó sambært Kristinu Háfoss, at nú eru tað vit sjálvi, sum gera av, hvussu vit skulu skipa okkum. |
We can hardly choose to stop digitizing or automating. If we do, we risk becoming laggards in misfortune, and there is also a risk that systems will be imposed on us. When we ourselves choose to steer the digitization, it is done according to our needs, and that is of tremendous importance to society, says the minister... | BLARK_translated | Vit kunnu illa velja at lata vera við at talgilda ella automatisera. Gera vit tað, er vandi fyri at vit gerast eftirbátur í ólukkumát, og vandi er eisini fyri, at vit fáa skipanir smoygdar niður yvir okkum. Tá vit sjálvi velja at stýra talgildingini, verður tað gjørt eftir okkara tørvi, og tað hevur ómetaliga stóran tý... |
The collective agreement for Posta is — like the company's other agreements — a sectoral agreement. That means the agreement must be observed for all employees who perform the work covered by the agreement, whether they are members of the Workers' Association (Starvsmannafelagið) or not. | BLARK_translated | Sáttmálin fyri Posta er – eins og hinir sáttmálarnir hjá felagnum – ein økissáttmáli. Tað merkir, at sáttmálin skal haldast fyri øll starvsfólk, sum gera arbeiðið, sáttmálin fevnir um. Sama um tey eru limir í Starvsmannafelagnum ella ikki. |
Investigations by the Civil Servants' Association confirmed that people were hired under conditions that contradicted the agreement, concerning pay, working hours, pension and overtime. These employees were, by all accounts, not members of the Civil Servants' Association when they signed the employment contracts. Some ... | BLARK_translated | Kanningar hjá Starvsmannafelagnum váttaðu, at fólk vóru sett í starv við treytum, sum vóru í andsøgn við sáttmálan, bæði hvat viðvíkur løn, arbeiðstíð, eftirløn og yvirtíð. Hesi starvsfólk vóru eftir øllum at døma ikki limir í Starvsmannafelagnum, tá ið tey undirskrivaðu setanarskrivini. Nøkur teirra |
The Trade Union appealed the case last autumn and since then there have been constructive negotiations with the Faroese Employers' Association and Posta about an adjustment of the employment contracts. | BLARK_translated | Starvsmannafelagið kærdi málið í fjørheyst og síðani hava jaligar samráðingar verið við Føroya Arbeiðsgevarafelag og Posta um eina tillaging av setanarskrivunum. |
The employers have made it clear that, of course, the collective agreement must be observed. That means that the individual employment contracts are now being changed so that they at least meet the provisions in the Postal Workers’ Union’s collective agreement. As I understand it, this has involved more than 20 contrac... | BLARK_translated | Arbeiðsgevararnir hava greitt boða frá, at sjálvandi skal sáttmálin haldast. Tað merkir, at persónligu setanarskrivini nú verða broytt, so at tey sum minstamark lúka ásetingarnar í sáttmálanum hjá Starvsmannafelagnum fyri Posta. Sum skilst hevur talan verið um meiri enn 20 kontraktir. Ávís leiðslustørv á Posta hava tó ... |
The change means that Posta will continue to have the ability to give employees better pay and conditions than the agreement provides them and as has in some cases also been done. The agreement only sets the minimum. | BLARK_translated | Broytingin merkir, at Posta framhaldandi fær møguleika fyri at geva starvsfólkunum betri løn og sømdir enn sáttmálin gevur teimum og sum tað í summum førum eisini hevur verið gjørt. Sáttmálin ásetir bert minstamarkið. |
One problem in the matter has been that the employees who have had personal contracts have been required to maintain confidentiality about their hiring and salary conditions. The trusted persons have also not been allowed to see the contents. | BLARK_translated | Ein trupulleiki í málinum hevur verið, at starvsfólkini, ið hava havt persónligar kontraktir, hava fingið álagt tagnarskyldu um síni setanar- og lønarkor. Álitisfólkini eru heldur ikki sloppin at síggja innihaldið. |
This has been criticised by the Civil Servants' Association, because the association believes that this is contrary to both employment legislation and the collective agreement. For the association, it has, for example, been important that the union representatives can view the appointments so that they can carry out th... | BLARK_translated | Hetta hevur Starvsmannafelagið átalað, tí felagið metir, at hetta er í andsøgn bæði við setanarlóggávu og sáttmála. Fyri felagið hevur tað t.d. havt týdning, at álitisfólkini kunnu síggja setanirnar, so at tey kunnu røkja sína eftirlitsuppgávu. |
The aforementioned duty of confidentiality now apparently falls away, and the Civil Servants' Union is pleased about it. | BLARK_translated | Áðurnevnda tagnarskylda fellir nú eftir øllum at døma burtur, og tað fegnast Starvsmannafelagið um. |
Another challenge at Posta has been that the employment contracts for certain job categories have contained non-compete clauses. | BLARK_translated | Ein onnur avbjóðing á Posta hevur verið, at setananarskrivini fyri ávísar starvsbólkar hava innihildið kappingarklausular. |
Posta has judged that the clauses have been necessary to protect the company when people in key positions have left their jobs. The employees’ association has, however, considered that the clauses have gone too far and have hit unreasonably hard, without providing corresponding salary compensation. Our view has been th... | BLARK_translated | Posta hevur mett, at klausularnir hava verið neyðugir fyri at verja fyritøkuna, tá ið fólk í lyklastørvum eru farin úr starvi. Starvsmannafelagið hevur tó mett, at klausularnir eru farnir ov vítt og hava raka órímiliga hart, uttan at geva tilsvarandi lønarsamsýning. Okkara sjónarmið hevur verið, at galdandi lóggáva, se... |
The Civil Servants' Association places its trust that the problem we have pointed out will be resolved. | BLARK_translated | Starvsmannafelagið setir sítt álit á, at trupulleikin, sum vit hava víst á, verða loystur. |
In 2016 the association also notified Posta that it considers it a problem that positions were advertised as open in the collective bargaining area without stating that the positions would be filled in accordance with the union’s collective agreement. | BLARK_translated | Í 2016 hevur felagið eisini gjørt Posta vart við, at felagið heldur tað vera ein trupulleika, at størv vóru lýst leys í sáttmálaøkinum, uttan at tilskilað er, at størvini verða sett sambært sáttmála felagsins. |
Posta is one of the union sectors of the Civil Servants' Association, which has relatively fewest members. | BLARK_translated | Posta er tað av sáttmálaøkjunum hjá Starvsmannafelagnum, sum hevur lutfalsliga nógv fægstar limir. |
Unionization rates in our collective bargaining areas are generally well above 90%. At Posta, however, it is probably below 70%, according to a rough estimate by the union. The number of members at the workplace has steadily decreased since the union took over the bargaining area from the Postal Union in 2007. | BLARK_translated | Organisatiónsprosentið í okkara sáttmálaøkjum liggur sum heild væl omanfyri 90 %. Á Posta liggur tað tó helst niðanfyri 70 %, vísir ein leyslig meting hjá felagnum. Limatalið á virkinum er lækkað støðugt, síðani felagið yvirtók sáttmálaøkið frá Postfelagnum í 2007. |
Now that all positions in the area are being set at the base level in the agreement, the Union hopes that the membership number at the Post will also start to grow again. | BLARK_translated | Nú øll størv í økinum verða sett við útgangsstøði í sáttmálanum, vónar Starvsmannafelagið, at limatalið á Posta eisini fer at vaksa aftur. |
The agreement for Posta states that when new people are hired in the area, the union’s shop steward must be given the opportunity to explain membership in the union before the employment contract is signed. | BLARK_translated | Í sáttmálanum fyri Posta stendur, at tá nýggj fólk vera sett í økinum, skal felags álitisfólk fáa høvi at greiða frá limaskapi í felagnum, áðrenn setanarprógvið verður undirskrivað. |
In summary, the answers above were 3, which is acceptable. However, there were a few answers that were just below 3, and some right at 3. | BLARK_translated | Samanumtikið vóru svarini omanfyri 3, sum er í lagi. Tó vóru tað nøkur fá svar, ið lógu beint undir 3, og okkurt beint á 3. |
The members have fairly good confidence that the Trade Union (Starvsmannafelagið) looks after their interests as employees. | BLARK_translated | Limirnir hava rímiliga gott álit á, at Starvsmannafelagið tekur sær av teirra áhugamálum sum arbeiðstakarar. |
Something could, however, have been better. The members believe, among other things, that the union should be more visible out at the workplaces. Something the union intends to do more of, with more frequent visits to the workplaces. | BLARK_translated | Okkurt kundi tó verið betri. Limirnir halda millum annað, at felagið eigur at verða meiri sjónligt úti á arbeiðsplássunum. Nakað, sum felagið ætlar at gera meiri við, við títtari vitjanum á arbeiðsplássunum. |
We asked how often members look at the association’s website and Facebook page. We might have expected greater interest in these media now that the association has placed more emphasis on these services after the Job Magazine was reduced from four issues to one issue per year. But the result was not satisfactory, and i... | BLARK_translated | Spurt var hvussu ofta limir hyggja inn á heimasíðuna og facebook-síðuna hjá felagnum. Vit høvdu kanska væntað, at størri áhugi var fyri hesum miðlum, nú felagið hevur lagt størri dent á hesar tænastur, eftir at Starvsblaðið er farið úr fýra niður í eina útgávu pr. ár. Men har var úrslitið ikki nøktandi, og neyðugt er a... |
This is the first satisfaction survey that the Staff Association has conducted. We have seen such surveys from our sister organizations in the Nordic countries. Therefore we thought it would be interesting to do such a survey, both to know what the members think of the association and to compare ourselves with other No... | BLARK_translated | Hetta er fyrsta nøgdsemiskanningin, sum Starvsmannafelagið hevur gjørt. Vit hava sæð slíkar kanningar hjá okkara systurfeløgum í norðurlondum. Tí hildu vit, at tað var áhugavert at gera eina slíka kanning, bæði fyri at vita hvat limirnir halda um felagið, og fyri at samanbera okkum við aðrar norðurlendskar kanningar. |
Compared with our Nordic sister organizations, we were on par with them in many of the responses and even somewhat above them in some areas, but there is always room to improve the level of service and information. | BLARK_translated | Samanborið við norðurlendsku systurfeløg okkara, lógu vit ájavnt við tey í nógvum av svarunum og eisini nakað omanfyri á onkrum økjum, men pláss er altíð fyri at betra um tænastu- og kunningarstøðið. |
This Thursday the state finally handed over the insurance company LÍV, after negotiations had been held with the trade unions for several years about purchasing the insurance company. | BLARK_translated | Hendan hósdagin avhendaði landið loksins Tryggingarfelagið LÍV, eftir at samráðingar høvdu verið við fakfeløgini í fleiri ár um at keypa tryggingarfelagið. |
The change of ownership means that an association of Faroese trade unions, P/F Fakfelag, will own half of the insurance company. The asset company, which represents everyone who has insurance in LÍV, has received the other half, without purchase cost. | BLARK_translated | Eigaraskiftið merkir, at eitt samtak av føroyskum fakfeløgum, P/F Fakfelag, fer at eiga helvtina av tryggingarfelagnum. Ognarfelagið, sum umboðar øll, sum eiga tryggingar í LÍV hevur fingið hina helvtina, uttan keypskostnað. |
In the first phase P/F Fakfelag buys 33 percent of the insurance company for 23 million kroner. It is agreed that the unions later, at the latest within 10 years, will buy an additional 17 percent for 12 million kroner. | BLARK_translated | Í fyrsta umfari keypir P/F Fakfelag 33 prosent av tryggingarfelagnum fyri 23 milliónir krónur. Avtalað er, at fakfeløgini seinni, í seinasta lagi um 10 ár, keypa 17 prosent afturat fyri 12 milliónir krónur. |
Thus P/F Fakfelag receives half of LÍV for a total of 35 million kroner. | BLARK_translated | Sostatt fær P/F Fakfelag sína helvt av LÍV fyri tilsamans 35 milliónir krónur. |
The Civil Servants’ Association is one of the 17 unions in P/F Fakfelag. The trade unions are the main customers of LÍV and the members of the Civil Servants’ Association are quite an important policyholder. | BLARK_translated | Starvsmannafelagið er eitt av teimum 17 feløgunum í P/F Fakfelag. Fakfeløgini eru høvuðskundar hjá LÍV og Starvsmannafelagið og limir tess eru ein rættuliga týdningarmikið tryggingartakari. |
Hourly paid. This is a job title that we perhaps know best from the area of the labor unions, the craftsmen’s unions and the union for office and shop workers, S&K. | BLARK_translated | Tímalønt. Hetta er eitt starvsheiti, sum vit kanska kenna best frá økinum hjá arbeiðarafeløgunum, handverkarafeløgunum og hjá felagnum fyri skrivstovu og krambafólk, S&K. |
But from time to time the concept of hourly pay also comes up in the area of the Civil Servants' Association. | BLARK_translated | Men av og á kemur hugtakið tímalønt eisini fyri í økinum hjá Starvsmannafelagnum. |
People, for example, are employed as temporary replacements for a short time, or in positions where the work tasks can be quite variable and difficult to predict in advance. People receive employment certificates that state “hourly paid” and the job title is well known in the national payroll administration. According ... | BLARK_translated | Fólk verða t.d. sett sum avloysarar eina stutta tíð, ella í starv, har arbeiðsuppgávan kann vera rættuliga skiftandi og ring at rokna út frammanundan. Fólk fáa setanarprógv, har tað stendur "tímalønt" og í landsins lønarumsiting er starvsheitið væl kent. Sambært Gjaldstovuni fingu meira enn 200 fólk løn sum tímalønt ef... |
In the Workers' Association we would, however, have preferred the job title 'hourly paid' to be omitted. It does not naturally belong in our agreements and furthermore it has caused problems for the employees. It turns out that some employers have misunderstood the legal situation and have treated these employees as a ... | BLARK_translated | Í Starvsmannafelagnum vildu vit tó helst verið starvsheitið tímalønt fyri uttan. Tað hoyrir ikki natúrliga heima í okkara sáttmálum og harafturat hevur tað givið starvsfólkunum trupulleikar. Tað vísir seg sum, at summir arbeiðsgevarar hava misskilt rættarstøðuna, og hava viðgjørt hesi starvsfólk, sum eitt slag av B-sta... |
In 2015 the Civil Servants’ Union was forced to sue the Ministry of Finance before the High Court, after the state refused to pay pension benefits to some employees under the agreement, on the grounds that they were hourly-paid. Fortunately it was possible to reach an agreement so that those so-called hourly-paid worke... | BLARK_translated | Í 2015 noyddist Starvsmannafelagið at stevna Fíggjarmálaráðnum fyri fasta Gerðarrætt, eftir at landið noktaði at rinda nøkrum starvsfólkum undir sáttmálanum eftirløn, við teirri grundgeving, at tey vóru tímalønt. Tíbetur eydnast at finna semju, so at eisini tey sokallaðu tímaløntu fáa eftirløn eftir sáttmálanum á jøvnu... |
Many collective agreements contain special provisions on wages and working hours for hourly-paid employees. In addition to the aforementioned occupational groups, for example the agreements for preschool teachers and nurses contain special provisions or sections concerning hourly-paid staff. | BLARK_translated | Nógvir sáttmálar hava serligar ásetingar um lønar- og arbeiðskor fyri tímalønt. Umframt áðurnevndu starvsbólkar hava t.d. sáttmálarnir hjá pedagogum og sjúkrarøktarfrøðingum serligar ásetingar ella partar um tímalønt starvsfólk. |
Our contracts are for permanent employees, probationary employees, temporary employees and substitutes and fixed-term employees. We have apprentices, interns and freelancers. And, as elsewhere, people who work full time or part time. | BLARK_translated | Okkara sáttmálar eru fyri fastlønt, royndarsett, fyribils sett og avloysarar og tíðaravmarkað sett. Vit hava lærlingar, praktikantar og frílansarar. Og, sum aðrastaðni, fólk, ið starvast fulla tíð ella niðursetta tíð. |
But hourly-paid workers are not included as a specially defined occupational group in our collective agreements. The word appears in the agreements, but mostly in connection with some smaller practical matters. | BLARK_translated | Men tímalønt finnast ikki sum ein serliga defineraður starvsbólkur í okkara sáttmálum. Orðið kemur fyri í sáttmálunum, men mest í sambandi við nøkur smærri praktisk viðurskifti. |
The situation is therefore that the hourly-paid workers — if they are paid according to the contracts of the Civil Servants’ Union — have the same rights as one of the above-mentioned employees. | BLARK_translated | Støðan er sostatt tann, at tey tímaløntu – um tey vera lønt eftir sáttmálunum hjá Starvsmannafelagnum – hava rættindi sum ein av omanfyrinevndu starvsfólkum. |
They can therefore have claims to both severance pay, pension, wages when they become ill and in connection with maternity, notice periods and other rights. | BLARK_translated | Tey kunnu tí hava krav um bæði setanarprógv, eftirløn, løn, tá tey blíva sjúk og í sambandi við barsil, uppsagnartíð og onnur rættindi. |
It's fun, the employment for them can, depending on the circumstances, be so short that there isn't a basis for all the rights. But the reason then is not that they are hourly paid, but that the employment in reality is a relief job or a temporary position. And they have the rights that these groups have. It depends on... | BLARK_translated | Gaman í, setanin hjá teimum kann eftir umstøðunum vera so stutt, at grundarlag ikki verður fyri øllum sømdum. Men tá er orsøkin ikki, at tey eru tímalønt, men at setanin í roynd og veru er eitt avloysarastarv ella eitt fyribilsstarv. Og so hava tey rættindi, sum hesir bólkar hava. Tað valdast um hvør starvsavtala er gj... |
The agreement is one. In addition, the hourly-paid workers, like others in the collective bargaining areas of the Civil Servants' Union, are usually covered by the civil servants’ law (the functionaries’ law). A law that guarantees employees rights similar to the agreement. Nor in this context does it matter in itself ... | BLARK_translated | Sáttmálin er eitt. Harafturat kemur, at tey tímaløntu, eins og onnur í sáttmálaøkjunum hjá Starvsmannafelagnum, aloftast eru vard av starvsmannalógini (funktionerlógini). Ein lóg, sum tryggjar starvsfólkum líknandi rættindi sum sáttmálin. Heldur ikki í hesum sambandi hevur tað týdning í sjálvum sær, um tú ert tímaløntu... |
In addition, they are of course covered by other legislation relevant to the labour market, for example the Employment Certificate Act, the Equality Act, the Working Environment Act and the Personal Data Act. | BLARK_translated | Harafturat eru tey sjálvandi fevnd av aðrari lóggávu, sum er viðkomandi fyri arbeiðsmarknaðin, t.d. lógini um setanarprógv, javnstøðulógini, arbeiðsumhvørvislógini og persónsupplýsingarlógini. |
At the Staff Association we are very satisfied with the building, which was completely renovated last year and is for the most part a new building both on the outside and the inside. | BLARK_translated | Í Starvsmannafelagnum eru vit sera væl nøgd við bygningin, sum varð liðugt umvældur í fjør og er mestum ein nýggjur bygningur uttan og innan. |
In reality, it is about three interconnected older buildings: the old grocery store Smæruna, Smæruna’s old slaughterhouse, and the old television building. | BLARK_translated | Í roynd og veru er talan um trýggir sambygdir eldri bygningar. Gamla matvøruhandilin Smæruna, gamla slaktaríið hjá Smæruni og gamla sjónvarpsbygningin. |
The hall has been tried with many different occasions, and we regularly hear announcements about events in Smæran. For example, the much-discussed fisheries reform was publicly presented in Smæran. | BLARK_translated | Høllin hevur verið roynd við mong ymisk høvi, og hoyra vit javnan lýsingar um tiltøk í Smæruni. Eitt nú var nógv umrødda fiskivinnunýskipanin løgd alment fram í Smæruni. |
The Civil Servants' Association really got to try itself in the role of host and conference organizer in 2016. | BLARK_translated | Starvsmannafelagið slapp av álvara at royna seg í leiklutinum sum vertur og ráðstevnufyrireikari í 2016. |
The other is the organization NTR, the Nordic Council of Public Employees, which represents about 340,000 staff who are members of trade unions that organise municipal employees in the Nordic countries. | BLARK_translated | Annar er felagsskapurin NTR, Nordisk Tjenestemandsråd, sum umboðar umleið 340.000 starvsfólk, sum eru limir í fakfeløgum, ið skipa kommunalt sett í Norðurlondum. |
That is the association NSO, the Nordic Organization of State Employees, whose members work for the state/country. | BLARK_translated | Hin er felagsskapurin NSO, Nordiske Statstjenestemenns Organisation, hvørs limir arbeiða hjá statinum/ landinum. |
From April 24 to 7, 2016, NTR held a conference at Hotel Føroyar. Around 100 union members participated. | BLARK_translated | Dagarnar 24.- 7. apríl 2016 hevði NTR ráðstevnu á Hotel Føroyum. Umleið 100 fakfelagsfólk vóru við. |
The trend is that trade unions in the Nordic countries are losing members. Unemployment threatens, at the same time as public services are being privatized and outsourced. | BLARK_translated | Rákið er, at fakfeløgini í Norðurlondum missa limir. Arbeiðsloysi hóttir, samstundis sum alment virksemi verður privatiserað og útveitt. |
The digitization of services is a major challenge. Assessments indicate that every other workplace in the world will be digital by 2025. A challenge that is also very relevant to us here, now that the project Digital Faroe Islands is getting underway. | BLARK_translated | Talgildingin av tænastum er ein stór avbjóðing. Metingar vísa, at annaðhvørt arbeiðspláss í heiminum fer at vera talgilt innan 2025. Ein avbjóðing, sum eisini er sera viðkomandi her hjá okkum, nú verkætlanin Talgildu Føroyar fer úr barkastokki. |
At the conference the participants debated how the organizations can meet the major challenges in the labor market. | BLARK_translated | Á ráðstevnuni kjakaðust luttakararnir um hvussu feløgini kunnu møta teimum stóru avbjóðingunum á arbeiðsmarknaðinum. |
From 22 to 25 August 2016 the new premises of the Civil Servants' Association, Smæran, were put to the test. This time it was the NSO association that focused on the democratic leadership style. | BLARK_translated | 22. - 25. august 2016 sluppu nýggju hølini hjá Starvsmannafelagnum, Smæran, at standa sína roynd. Hesaferð var tað NSO-felagsskapurin sum setti kikaran á demokratiskan leiðsluhátt. |
About 60 union members met under the heading "Management and employee influence in the public sector." There they shared experiences and discussed how the unions can ensure that staff are consulted when management makes decisions that concern employees and the workplace. | BLARK_translated | Umleið 60 fakfelagsfólk hittust undir yvirskriftini "Ledelse og medarbejderindflydelse i det offentlige". Her deildu tey royndir og kjakaðust um hvussu fakfeløgini kunnu tryggja, at starvsfólkini verða tikin við uppá ráð, tá ið leiðslan tekur avgerðir, ið viðkoma starvsfólki og arbeiðsplássi. |
Management has the right to direct and allocate work. On the other hand, it is an inseparable part of the collective bargaining system in the Nordic countries that management must involve the employees. | BLARK_translated | Leiðslan hevur rætt at leiða og fordeila arbeiði. Hinvegin er tað ein óreingiligur partur av sáttmálaskipanini í Norðurlondum, at leiðslan skal taka starvsfólkini við |
in decisions. It must be done through trusted representatives and cooperation committees. | BLARK_translated | í avgerðirnar. Tað skal vera gjørt gjøgnum álitisfólkini og samstarvsnevndirnar. |
An incident that we all want to avoid, but that happens daily, is workplace accidents. These can be more or less serious. Furthermore, workplace accidents can both | BLARK_translated | Eitt fyribrigdi, sum vit øll vilja sleppa undan, men sum hendir dagliga, er arbeiðsóhapp. Hesi kunnu bæði vera meira ella minni álvarsom. Harumframt kunnu arbeiðsóhapp bæði |
In connection with such events, it is of course primarily the treatment of the injured party that matters. | BLARK_translated | Í sambandi við slíkar hendingar er tað sjálvandi fyrst og fremst viðgerðin av tí skaðarakta, sum hevur týdning. |
Another aspect in such incidents is that they must be reported to the Labour Inspectorate. | BLARK_translated | Ein annar liður í slíkum hendingum er, at tær skulu fráboðast Arbeiðseftirlitinum. |
A workplace accident/work-related accident is, according to occupational environment legislation, to be understood as a personal injury that has occurred in the course of work for an employer, provided that the accident has resulted in incapacity for work for one or more days in addition to the day of injury. | BLARK_translated | Eitt arbeiðsóhapp/ein arbeiðsvanlukka er sambært arbeiðsumhvørvislóggávuni at skilja sum ein persónskaði, ið er hendur av arbeiði í tænastu fyri ein arbeiðsgevara, um so er, at vanlukkan/ óhappið hevur havt við sær óarbeiðsføri í ein ella fleiri dagar umframt skaðadagin. |
Such incidents, as well as all poisonings, must be reported to the Labour Inspectorate as soon as possible and before 9 days have passed. | BLARK_translated | Slíkar hendingar, umframt allar eitranir skulu fráboðast Arbeiðseftirlitinum sum skjótast og áðrenn 9 dagar eru farnir. |
If there are serious accidents and poisonings, the Labour Inspectorate must also be notified immediately by telephone. | BLARK_translated | Er talan um álvarsligar vanlukkur og eitranir skal Arbeiðseftirlitið harumframt hava fráboðan beinanvegin umvegis telefon. |
Work accidents/occupational accidents must be reported using the relevant form from the Labour Inspection, which can be found at | BLARK_translated | Arbeiðsóhapp/arbeiðsvanlukkur skulu fráboðast umvegis viðkomandi oyðublað frá Arbeiðseftirlitinum, ið finst á |
Within 2 working days after receipt of the damage/claim notification, an acknowledgement of receipt will be sent to the employer, the insured/claimant and any employee-appointed safety representatives at the workplace. | BLARK_translated | Seinast 2 arbeiðsdagar eftir móttøku av skaðafráboðanini verður ein móttøkuváttan send arbeiðsgevaranum, skaðarakta og møguligum starvsfólkavaldum trygdarumboði á arbeiðsplássinum. |
Compensation and the Faroese Accident Insurance Board
The Labour Inspection does not administer the legislation on compensation in connection with consequences of occupational injury. The Faroese Accident Insurance Board makes decisions in cases concerning occupational injuries, including cases about occupational disea... | BLARK_translated | Endurgjald og Føroya Vanlukkutryggingarráð Arbeiðseftirlitið umsitur ikki lóggávuna um endurgjald í sambandi við avleiðingar av arbeiðsskaða. Føroya Vanlukkutryggingarráð tekur avgerðir í málum viðvíkjandi arbeiðsskaðum, herundir eisini mál um vinnusjúkur vegna arbeiði. |

The two regular meetings for all the shop stewards in the Staff Association were in June and December. The Staff Association has about 120 shop stewards. The attendance in June and December was 97 and 94 people, respectively. So the shop stewards are quite faithful/loyal. | BLARK_translated | Teir báðir føstu fundirnir fyri øllum álitisfólkunum í Starvsmannafelagnum vóru í juni og desember. Starvsmannafelagið hevur umleið 120 álitisfólk. Tilmeldingin í juni og desember var ávikavist 97 og 94 fólk. So álitisfólkini er rættiliga trúføst. |
In December the topic was Digital Faroes. About the challenges that the plan to digitize the public administration will pose, among others, for the professional fields. There was also information about the pension reform that is on the way, and which procedures apply when an injury occurs in the workplace. | BLARK_translated | Í desember var evnið Talgildu Føroyar. Um avbjóðingarnar, sum ætlanin at talgilda almennu fyrisitingina, fer at geva m.a. fakfeløgunum. Eisini varð kunnað um eftirlønarreformin, sum er á veg, og hvørjar mannagongdir galda, tá skaði hendir á arbeiðsplássinum. |
Do we really need trade unions? Lord God, it’s 2017 — what is the purpose and what do we, as members, get out of them? Isn’t this an outdated relic, a thing of the past? | BLARK_translated | Hava vit í roynd og veru brúk fyri fakfeløgum. Harra Gud, vit eru í 2017, hvør er uppgávan og hvat fáa vit sum limir burturúr. Er hetta ikki ein gomul leivd, ein farin tíð? |
Now that the public sector is being digitized, we must not forget the history behind the trade unions. | BLARK_translated | Nú farið er undir at talgilda tann almenna geiran, mugu vit ikki gloyma søguna aftanfyri fakfeløgini. |
Jóannes Dalsgaard writes in the book about Fylking, which was published in 1997, among other things, as follows: | BLARK_translated | Jóannes Dalsgaard skrivar í bókini um Fylking, sum kom út í 1997, millum annað soleiðis: |
The labor movement has its roots in the latter half of the 18th century, in the period when the productive forces developed and machines increasingly took over work from humans. This happened at the beginning of what we usually call the Industrial Revolution. (.) We usually say that this process really began to reach t... | BLARK_translated | Arbeiðararørslan hevur sínar røtur í seinnu helvt av 18. øld, í tí tíðarskeiðinum, tá tær framleiðandi kreftirnar mennast og maskinurnar alt meira taka yvir arbeiðið frá menniskjuni. Hetta hendir í byrjanini av tí, ið vit vanliga nevna ídnaðarkollveltingin. (.) Vanliga siga vit at hendan gongdin av álvara fór at bera v... |
With the industrial revolution the frameworks for the society that had been stable for centuries were shattered. | BLARK_translated | Við ídnaðarkollveltingini sprongdust karmarnir fyri tí samfelag, sum í øldir hevði verið støðugt.” |
There is nothing human here. There is no natural emotional decision. No person behind it. Only cold and cynical data that do not show special consideration and do not accommodate human compassion. | BLARK_translated | Her er einki menniskjaligt lið. Her er eingin natúrliga kenslulig avgerð. Einki menniskja aftanfyri. Bert kaldar og kyniskar dátur, ið ikki taka serlig fyrilit og ikki rúma menniskjansligum umhugsni. |
Is this what we want and desire for our public administration? | BLARK_translated | Er hetta tað, vit vilja og ynskja við okkara almennu umsiting? |
Yes, the digital future is exciting, but it also raises many questions. | BLARK_translated | Jú, talgilda framtíðin er spennandi, men hon reisir eisini nógvar spurningar. |
