But we must constantly be vigilant and keep track of what happens to all those who are at risk of losing their jobs because of digitalization. | BLARK_translated | Men vit mugu alla tíðina vera á varðhaldi og fylgja við hvat hendir við øllum teimum, sum eru í vanda fyri at missa sítt starv orsaka av talgildingini. |
We must protect ourselves so that we do not end up as human slaves in the digital upheaval. | BLARK_translated | Vit skulu verja okkum fyri, at vit ikki enda sum menniskjaligir trælir í talgildu kollveltingini. |
The question of when employees should retire with a pension has once again been raised several times. | BLARK_translated | Spurningurin um nær starvsfólk skulu fara frá við eftirløn hevur aftur verið frammi nakrar ferðir. |
I believe that here too the trade unions and political parties could have entered into good cooperation and together found a dignified solution. | BLARK_translated | Eg haldi, at eisini her kundu fakfeløgini og politisku flokkarnir farið undir eitt gott samstarv og saman funnið eina virðiliga loysn. |
I have no doubt for a moment that almost everyone who has the energy wants to work longer if they have a good working life. | BLARK_translated | Eg ivist onga løtu í, at flest øll, ið hava orkuna, vilja arbeiða longur, um tey hava eitt gott arbeiðslív. |
Always renewed agreements at the workplace and good cooperation between the contracting parties, and want to find solutions between the government coalition and the parliament. | BLARK_translated | Altíaltsnýrtaðsegumálitá arbeiðsplássinum og eitt gott samstarv millum sáttmálapartarnar, og vilja at finna loysnir millum samgonguna og løgtingið. |
A solution found through dialogue and negotiations — and not through legally imposed coercion — is in fact the very core of the Nordic labour market system. A system based on free negotiations, which has also proven to work best in real life. | BLARK_translated | Ein loysn funnin við dialogi og samráðingum – og ikki við lógarásettum tvingsli – er nevniliga sjálvur kjarnin í norðurlendsku arbeiðsmarknaðskipanini. Ein skipan við frælsum samráðingum, sum eisini hevur víst seg at virka nógv best í tí veruliga lívinum. |
I believe that most of us think of nothing else than that of course we should have the public services we have today, such as schools, medical and health services, and child services. | BLARK_translated | Eg haldi, at meginparturin av okkum ikki hugsar annað enn, at sjálvandi skulu vit hava tær almennu tænastur vit í dag hava, so sum skúlar, sjúkra- og heilsuverk og barnatænastur. |
To live in a cohesive society means that all citizens, according to their ability, pay their taxes and the charges that are necessary to run the services we expect from society. | BLARK_translated | At liva í einum samhaldsføstum samfelag merkir, at allir borgarar eftir førimuni gjalda sín skatt og tey avgjøld, ið eru neyðug fyri at reka tær tænastur, vit krevja av samfelagnum. |
Who wants to get rid of the steady services we have today? No one! | BLARK_translated | Hvør vil av við tær samhaldsføstu tænasturnar vit í dag hava? Ongin! |
That is why I fully agree with Aksel V. Johannesen, the Prime Minister, when he says, “Do your duty and demand your right.” | BLARK_translated | Tí eri eg so púra samdur við Aksel V. Johannesen, løgmanni, tá hann sigur, „Ger tína skyldu og krev tín rætt“. |
We must all, according to our ability, leave behind what we are able to. | BLARK_translated | Vit mugu øll eftir førimuni leggja tað eftir okkum, sum vit eru før fyri. |
It is no more than reasonable and not too much to ask that we all be an active part when it comes to preserving the welfare society we live in. | BLARK_translated | Tað er ikki meira enn rímuligt og ikki ov nógv kravt, at vit øll eru ein aktivur partur, tá tað ræður um at varðveita tað vælferðarsamfelag, vit liva í. |
The members of the Civil Servants' Union are not exactly known for publicly complaining about this and that, but they certainly do their civic duty. Yes, they are paid for what they do, but they certainly give something back as well, and generously so. | BLARK_translated | Limirnir hjá Starvsmannafelagnum eru ikki júst kendir fyri alment at grenja um hetta og hattar, men tey gera so sanniliga sína samfelags skyldu. Jú, tey fáa løn fyri tað tey gera, men tey lata so sanniliga eisini nakað aftur og tað ríkiligt. |
Let there be no doubt that when we consult about the salary matters, we always think about all the members of the association. We must at all times keep in mind how the members get the most out of it. But not everyone can get everything. A framework cannot accommodate that. | BLARK_translated | Lat ongan iva verða um, at tá vit samráðast um lønarviðurskiftini, so verður altíð hugsað um allar limir felagsins. Vit mugu alla tíðina hava í huga hvussu limirnir fáa sum mest burturúr. Men øll kunnu ikki fáa alt. Tað ber ein karmur ikki. |
On October 1 the collective agreements with the Ministry of Finance (FMR) and with the Municipal Employers' Association (KAF) expire. Nothing has yet been agreed on how these negotiations will proceed, when they will begin, and whether the trade unions should negotiate together or negotiate separately, as has usually b... | BLARK_translated | 1. oktober ganga sáttmálanir við Fíggjarmálaráðið (FMR) og við Kommunala Arbeiðsgevarafelag (KAF) út. Einki er avtalað enn hvussu hesar samráðingar skulu fara fram, nær tær skulu byrja, og um fakfeløgini skulu samráðast saman, ella tey skulu samráðast hvør sær, sum vanligt hevur verið. |
I can’t imagine that anyone objects to the lowest-paid workers in the public labor market getting a bigger share of the pie when the framework is divided next time. | BLARK_translated | Eg kann ikki ímynda mær, at nakar hevur nakað ímóti, at tey lægstløntu starvsfólkini á almenna arbeiðsmarknaðinum, fáa ein størri bita av køkuni, tá karmurin verður býttur næstu ferð. |
The storms this winter put a grim mark on the past year. But at the same time this showed us how important it is that we have organized systems in our society. | BLARK_translated | Ódnirnar í vetur settu ein keðiligan dám á árið ið fór. Men samstundis vísti hetta okkum, hvussu umráðandi tað er, at vit hava skipaði viðurskifti í okkara samfelag. |
That we in the Faroe Islands have so many and dedicated people in the rescue teams around the country who do not back down because of bad weather is something we can all be very grateful for. These are people who, risking their lives, go out into the storms and try to save what can be saved. | BLARK_translated | At vit í Føroyum hava so nógv og rakst fólk í bjargingarfeløgunum kring landið, sum ikki bakka fyri vánaliga veðrinum, kunnu vit øll vera sera takksom fyri. Hetta eru fólk, sum við lívinum í váða, fara út í stormarnar og royna at bjarga tí, ið bjargast kann. |
Without these brave people the damage would certainly have been much greater. | BLARK_translated | Uttan hesi djørvu fólk hevði skaðin heilt vist verið nógv størri. |
In our contract area we saw and heard how great an importance the National Ferry Service, the Public Works Department, SEV and the Faroese Broadcasting Corporation have in such serious situations. | BLARK_translated | Á okkara sáttmálaøki sóu og hoyrdu vit hvussu stóran týdning Strandfaraskip Landsins, Landsverk, SEV og Kringvarp Føroya hava í slíkum álvarsligum støðum. |
These are all members in key positions who ensure that the wheels keep turning when the rest of us could be taking a break. | BLARK_translated | Hetta eru alt limir í lyklastørvum, sum tryggja at hjólini mala, tá ið vit onnur kundu halda frí. |
These people, both the employed and the volunteers, have the greatest deserved respect and should be honored for their selfless work. | BLARK_translated | Hesi fólk, bæði tey starvsettu og tey sjálvbodnu, hava størstu virðing uppiborna og skuldu verið heiðra fyri teirra ósjálvsøkna arbeiði. |
Investing in educational opportunities and well‑being will be the best investment that can be made. | BLARK_translated | At gera íløgur í útbúgvingarmøguleikar og trivnað man verða besta íløga, ið gerast kann. |
The best proof of this can be the population growth in recent years. At the same time as educational opportunities at, among others, the University of the Faroe Islands have improved significantly and the supply of lucrative jobs has increased, the population has also risen. This is of course something to be pleased ab... | BLARK_translated | Besta prógvið um hetta man verða vøksturin í fólkatalinum seinastu árini. Samstundis sum útbúgvingarmøguleikarnir á m.a. Fróðskaparsetri Føroya eru bøttir munandi og útboðið av lukrativum størvum er vaksið, er fólkatalið eisini hækkað. Hetta er sjálvandi at fegnast um – og tað gera vit eisini. Men eitt eru útbúgvingar ... |
The big challenge will be how we ensure population growth. In this connection politicians must ask themselves: What should we do so that those who have returned will stay, while at the same time we maintain immigration at the same level as now? | BLARK_translated | Tann stóra avbjóðingin verður hvussu vit tryggja fólkavøksturin. Í hesum sambandi mugu politikararnir spyrja seg sjálvar: Hvat skulu vit gera fyri at tey, ið eru komin aftur, verða verandi, samstundis sum vit varðveita tilflytingina á sama støði sum nú? |
We should preferably not see such an emigration again as we experienced in connection with the crisis in the early nineties. | BLARK_translated | Vit skulu helst ikki aftur síggja eina slíka fráflyting, sum vit upplivdu í sambandi við kreppuna fyrst í nítiárunum. |
A major task facing the union is the work of creating a new public salary system. The assignment is to ensure that equivalent educations receive equivalent pay, and it is crucial that the new salary system does not become a setback for anyone. | BLARK_translated | Eitt stórarbeiði, ið liggur fyri framman hjá felagnum, er arbeiðið at gera ein nýggja almenna lønarskipan. Uppgávan er at tryggja, at tilsvarandi útbúgvingar fáa tilsvarandi løn, og umráðandi er, at nýggja lønarskipanin ikki verður eitt afturstig fyri nakran. |
When the union negotiated a new agreement in 2015, the parties agreed to work to ensure that efforts to create a new pay system would be initiated during the term of the agreement. | BLARK_translated | Tá felagið samráddist um nýggjan sáttmála í 2015 gjørdu partarnir avtalu um at virka fyri, at arbeiði at gera nýggja lønarskipan skuldi setast í gongd í sáttmálaskeiðinum. |
Work has slowly begun. Six members have been appointed to a wage committee, which together with the chairwoman of the wage committee, Súsonna Olsen, are expected to prepare a report that will be submitted to the Minister of Finance. The aim is to achieve a (at least partial) result before the upcoming contract negotiat... | BLARK_translated | Arbeiði er so smátt farið í gongd. Seks limir eru valdir í eina lønarnevnd, sum saman við lønarnevndarforkvinnuni, Súsonnu Olsen, væntandi skal gera álit, ið verður latið landsstýriskvinnuni í fíggjarmálum. Málið er at røkka einum (í øllum førum partvísum) úrsliti, áðrenn komandi sáttmálasamráðingar, sum verða í heyst. |
In my opinion, the wage committee should, as one of the first things, determine what the contents of such a pay system should be. | BLARK_translated | Eftir mínum tykki má lønarnevndin, sum eitt tað fyrsta, finna útav hvat innihaldið í einari slíkari lønarskipan skal verða. |
The question is what more the salary system should include. These are questions such as, for example, | BLARK_translated | Spurningurin er hvat meira enn løn skipanin skal innihalda. Tað verið seg spurningar sum t.d. |
It is very important that no one in the current salary system experiences a pay decrease or loses any of the rights they have today when they are placed into a new salary system. | BLARK_translated | Tað er sera umráðandi, at eingin í núverandi lønarskipan fer niður í løn ella missir nøkur av teimum rættindum, tey hava í dag, tá ið tey verða innplaseraði í eina nýggja lønarskipan. |
Because the Union of Professional Officers has so many occupational groups, which are both at sea, on land and in the air, there is little doubt that the Union of Professional Officers will likely benefit most from a new pay system. | BLARK_translated | Av tí at Starvsmannafelagið hevur so nógvar starvsbólkar, sum eru bæði á sjógvi, á landi og í luftini, er lítil ivi um, at Starvsmannafelagið væntandi fær mest gagn av eini nýggjari lønarskipan. |
If the system becomes what we want it to be, it will be a great advance and a useful tool that will help us all to place all publicly employed staff. | BLARK_translated | Um skipanin verður, sum vit ynskja okkum hana, verður hon eitt stórt framstig og eitt hent amboð, sum kemur at hjálpa okkum øllum at innplasera øll alment sett starvsfólk. |
Read more about the topic on the themed pages about the general pay system elsewhere in the newspaper. | BLARK_translated | Les meira um evnið á temasíðunum um almennu lønarskipanina aðrastaðni í blaðnum). |
Never before have so many people of different ethnic origin lived in the Faroe Islands, and I think we can be pleased about that. | BLARK_translated | Heldur ongantíð hava so nógv fólk við øðrum etniskum uppruna búð í Føroyum, og tað haldi eg vit kunnu fegnast um. |
Despite this positive development, it seems that the fear of everything foreign has never been as visible as it is now, even here with us. It pains me to see and hear all the negative things that are written and said about foreigners and anything foreign, on social media and in the public sphere. I have an unpleasant f... | BLARK_translated | Hóast hesa positivu gongd, so tykist sum at óttin fyri øllum tí, ið fremmant er, ongantíð fyrr hevur verið so sjónligur, eisini her hjá okkum. Tað stoytir meg at síggja og hoyra alt tað neiliga, sum verður skrivað og sagt um tey fremmandu og tað sum fremmant er, á teimum sosialu miðlunum og í almenna rúminum. Eg havi e... |
The Employees' Association has equality in its charter, and as a union we must emphasize that equality applies to all of us, regardless of religion, skin color, gender, and political or sexual convictions. | BLARK_translated | Starvsmannafelagið hevur javnrættindi í sínum skjaldramerki, og sum fakfelag mugu vit gera vart við, at javnrættindi er galdandi fyri okkum øll, óansæð trúgv, húðalit, kyn og politiska ella kynsliga sannføring. |
On the other hand, it is a given that we demand that the foreigners want to integrate into society, that they adapt to Faroese values and Faroese culture — and respect them. | BLARK_translated | Hinvegin er tað ein sjálvfylgja, at vit krevja at tey fremmandu vilja integrera seg í samfelagið, at tey laga seg eftir føroyskum virðum og føroyskari mentan – og virða tey. |
If we are open to the unfamiliar and they are open to us, we will all continue to live in the world's best country. | BLARK_translated | Eru vit opin fyri tí fremmanda og tey opin fyri okkum, koma vit øll framhaldandi at liva í heimsins besta landi. |
Having a multicultural society, where there is room for everyone, only makes society richer. | BLARK_translated | At hava eitt margmenta samfelag, har rúm er fyri øllum, ger bara samfelagið enn ríkari. |
2016 was a year marked by much unrest and violations of human rights. | BLARK_translated | 2016 var eitt ár merkt av nógvum ófriði og brotum á mannarættindini. |
As a trade union we must build a protective ring around human rights and democracy and speak up when injustice is done. Also abroad. | BLARK_translated | Sum fakfelag skulu vit gera manngarð um mannarættindi og fólkaræði og tala at, tá ið órættur verður gjørdur. Eisini úti í heimi. |
Particularly terrifying acts of violence have been carried out against completely innocent people, practically right outside our own doors. Both in Nice and Berlin there were horrific attacks on innocent people that seem utterly unreal. | BLARK_translated | Serstakliga óhugnalig yvirgangsálop hava verið á púrasta ósek fólk, so at siga beint uttanfyri okkara egnu dyr. Bæði í Nice og Berlin vóru ógvuslig álop á ósek fólk, sum tykjast heilt óverulig. |
The war in Syria is different. Shocking images from the horrors in Aleppo, where government forces and rebel groups, each of the other, have bombed entirely innocent civilians. Women. Men. Children. | BLARK_translated | Annað er kríggið í Sýria. Skakandi myndir frá ræðuleikunum í Aleppo, har stjórnarhermenn og uppreistrardeildir, hvør um annan, hava bumbað púra ósekar borgarar. Kvinnur. Menn. Børn. |
I will therefore take this opportunity to thank the political youth organizations and Amnesty International, Faroe Islands Branch, for, with the event at Vaglið in the month of December, drawing attention to the atrocities. | BLARK_translated | Eg fari tí her at takka politisku ungmannafeløgunum og Amnesty International, Føroya Deild, fyri, at tey, við tiltaki á Vaglinum í desember mánað, varpaðu ljós á ræðuleikarnar. |
In the midst of all the Christmas rush, they made us stop for a moment and think about the situation. And if the event has gotten even someone to get involved and lend a helping hand with support, a great deal has been achieved. | BLARK_translated | Mitt í øllum jólaresinum fingu tey okkum at støðga á eina løtu og hugsa um støðuna. Og er tað so, at tiltakið hevur fingið bara onkran at ressast við og veita eina hjálpandi hond við stuðli, er ógvuliga nógv vunnið. |
On New Year’s Eve, Aksel V. Johannesen, Prime Minister, delivered his New Year’s speech to the people of the Faroe Islands. | BLARK_translated | Gamlaárskvøld helt Aksel V. Johannesen, løgmaður, sína nýggjársrøðu fyri Føroya fólki. |
Yes, improvements have certainly been made for the lowest-paid, families with children and early retirees, and of course we are pleased about that. But there are other matters that are not good enough. | BLARK_translated | Jú, víst er betringar gjørdar fyri tey lægstløntu, barnafamiljurnar og fyritíðarpensjónistar, og tað fegnast vit sjálvandi um. Men her eru onnur viðurskiftir, ið ikki eru nóg góð. |
This is nothing new. Previous administrations have been responsible for this and the current administration is sticking to the same approach, so there is no prospect that this will be changed. | BLARK_translated | Hetta er ikki nakað nýtt. Undanfarnu samgongur hava staðið fyri hesum og núverandi samgongan heldur fast í tí sama, og tí røkist onki fyri at hetta verður broytt. |
So in this area you cannot see the big difference between a right-wing coalition and a left-wing coalition. The situation is exactly the same. | BLARK_translated | So á hesum økinum sæst ikki tann stóri munurin á eini høgraamgongu og eini vinstrasamgongu. Støðan er júst tann sama. |
In 2020 the biggest epidemic in our part of the world will break out. Experts have long predicted it. We are approaching 2020 at full speed, but I still cannot see any political plan for how to prevent this great danger. | BLARK_translated | Í 2020 verður strongd størsta fólkasjúkan í okkara parti av heiminum. Tað hava serfrøðingar leingi spátt. Vit nærkast 2020 við rúkandi ferð, men enn dugi eg ikki at síggja nakra politiska ætlan fyri hvussu man ætlar at fyribyrgja hesum stóra vandamáli. |
Of course the parties in the labour market must do their part. However, that is not enough. The public Faroes must | BLARK_translated | Sjálvandi skulu partarnir á arbeiðsmarknaðinum gera sítt. Tað er tó ikki nóg mikið. Almennu Føroyar mugu |
The coalition has announced in its coalition agreement a tripartite cooperation. It is a collaboration in which the political system together with employers and trade unions discuss and make agreements on pressing labour market issues. | BLARK_translated | Samgongan hevur í samgonguskjali sínum boðað frá einum trípartasamstarvi. Tað er eitt samstarv, har politiska skipanin saman við arbeiðsgevarum og fakfeløgum umrøða og gera semjur um áleikandi arbeiðsmarknaðarmál. |
Let us together support this cooperation by addressing the problem concerning the shortage in the Faroese labour market. This is my appeal to the national authorities and to our collective bargaining partners. | BLARK_translated | Lat okkum í felag seta sjøtul á hetta samstarvið við at fara inn í trupulleikan viðvíkjandi strongd á føroyska arbeiðsmarknaðinum. Hetta skal vera mín áheitan á landsins myndugleikar og okkara sáttmálapartar. |
Let us embark on a constructive tripartite collaboration, where we first carry out a quality assessment of public administration, with the aim of determining how great the problem actually is regarding tensions among employees in the public sector. | BLARK_translated | Latið okkum fara út í eitt konstruktivt trípartasamstarv, har vit fyrst gera eina góðskumeting av almennu fyrisitingini, við tí endamáli at staðfesta hvussu stórur trupulleikin í veruleikanum er viðvíkjandi strongd millum starvsfólkini í almenna sektorinum. |
Let us then agree on a concrete plan for how we prevent and, if possible, stamp out these social ills that threaten the Faroese labor market. | BLARK_translated | Latið okkum síðani semjast um eina ítøkiliga ætlan fyri, hvussu vit fyribyrgja og helst basa hesi fólkasjúku, sum hóttir føroyska arbeiðsmarknaðin. |
The survey that the Employees’ Association conducted in 2014 confirmed that loneliness is at least as big a problem in the Faroe Islands as in neighboring countries. And that this probably costs Faroese society about 140 million kroner annually, when compared with Danish figures. | BLARK_translated | Kanningin, ið Starvsmannafelagið gjørdi í 2014, staðfesti, at strongd er eitt minst líka stórt vandamál í Føroyum sum í grannalondunum. Og at hetta helst kostar føroyska samfelagnum uml. 140 milliónir krónur árliga, um sammett verður við donsk tøl. |
So besides protecting public health, there is money to save. A lot of money, which could be put to quite good use elsewhere in public administration. | BLARK_translated | So umframt at verja fólkaheilsuna eru pengar at spara. Nógvir pengar, sum kundu komi rættiliga væl við aðrastaðni í almennu umsitingini. |
In this context, the system with security representatives plays a decisive role. | BLARK_translated | Í hesum sambandi hevur skipanin við trygdarumboðum ein avgerandi leiklut. |
It is the employer's/institution's responsibility to ensure that a safety representative is elected, but I have a feeling that this is perhaps not always followed, and that there are not safety representatives everywhere they are required. | BLARK_translated | Tað er uppgávan hjá arbeiðsgevaranum/stovninum at syrgja fyri, at trygdarumboð verður valt, men eg havi varhugan av, at hetta kanska ikki altíð verður fylgt, og at tað ikki eru trygdarumboð allastaðni, har tað krevst. |
It is extremely important that the system with safety representatives works properly. | BLARK_translated | Tað hevur alstóran týdning, at skipanin við trygdarumboðum virkar fullvæl. |
A particular challenge regarding the working environment is the monitoring of the psychological work environment. This is an area that the Trade Union has given a lot of focus to. | BLARK_translated | Ein serlig avbjóðing í sambandi við arbeiðsumhvørvið, er eftirlitið við sálarliga arbeiðsumhvørvinum. Eitt øki, sum Starvsmannafelagið hevur havt nógv fokus á. |
In this area we in the Faroe Islands are still only beginners. | BLARK_translated | Á hesum øki eru vit í Føroyum enn bert nýbyrjarar. |
It is absolutely necessary that the safety representatives immediately receive very good training when it comes to the psychosocial work environment. It should become just as obvious and natural to report and communicate issues such as bullying, sexual harassment and other matters affecting the mental health of employe... | BLARK_translated | Tað er alneyðugt at trygdarumboðini beinanvegin fáa fáa eina munagóða útbúgving, tá ið umræður sálarliga arbeiðsumhvørvið. Tað skal gerast líka sjálvsagt og natúrligt at lofta og at fráboða viðurskifti so sum happing, sexsjikanu og annað, ið hevur við sálarligu heilsuna hjá starvsfólkunum at gera, sum tað í dag er, tá ... |
I have no doubt that the situation would have improved if the safety representatives had also been anchored in the trade unions. That way they would also have had a better opportunity to keep the employers, who have the main responsibility for safety and health in the workplace, on their toes. | BLARK_translated | Eg ivist ikki í, at tað hevði bøtt um støðuna, um trygdarumboðini eisini vóru ankrað í fakfeløgunum. So høvdu tey eisini havt betri møguleika at hildið arbeiðsgevararnar, ið hava høvuðsábyrgdina av trygdini og heilsuni á arbeiðsplássinum, í oyruni. |
including the first with the large unions, where the framework for the entire public pay sector is usually set. | BLARK_translated | hansara fyrstu við tey stóru feløgini, har karmurin fyri alt tað almenna lønarøkið vanliga verður lagdur. |
A new pay system could, however, make the negotiations very different this time than before, if it succeeds in reaching agreement on a common pay system for the entire public labor market. | BLARK_translated | Ein nýggj lønarskipan kann tó fara at gera samráðingarnar hesaferð nógv øðrvísi enn fyrr, um tað eydnast at fáa semju um eina felags lønarskipan fyri allan tann almenna arbeiðsmarknaðin. |
This will, in that case, concern a real labour market innovation that will fundamentally change the basis for negotiations and negotiation procedures in the Faroese public labour market. | BLARK_translated | Talan verður í so fall um eitt veruligt arbeiðsmarknaðarligt nýbrot, sum grundleggjandi fer at broyta grundarlagið undir samráðingunum og samráðingarmannagongdirnar á almenna føroyska arbeiðsmarknaðinum. |
Because central to a common salary system is a common salary table for the entire public labor market. | BLARK_translated | Tí sentralt í einari felags lønarskipan verður ein felags lønartalva fyri allan tann almenna arbeiðsmarknaðin. |
If this is what one wants, and agreement is reached on such a thing, it will considerably ease negotiations in the future, says Jan Mortensen. | BLARK_translated | Um tað er hetta man vil, og semja fæst um eina slíka, fer tað at lætta munandi um samráðingarnar í framtíðini, heldur Jan Mortensen. |
In some unions there has long been dissatisfaction that public employees with qualifications at the same level can often have quite different pay scales, depending on which union they are members of, because the unions' collective agreements are so different. | BLARK_translated | Í summum feløgum hevur leingi valdað misnøgd um, at almenn starvsfólk við útbúgvingum á sama stigi ofta kunnu hava rættiliga ymiskt lønarlag, alt eftir hvørjum felag, tey eru limir í, tí sáttmálarnir hjá feløgunum eru so ymiskir. |
Often there are no logical arguments that such differences can exist between the contracts, other than that it has historically always been that way. | BLARK_translated | Ofta eru ongi logisk argument fyri, at slíkir munir kunnu vera millum sáttmálarnar, annað enn at soleiðis hevur tað søguliga sæð altíð verið. |
But getting rid of such inequalities with a common pay system/pay scale is not that simple, because it requires, among other things, recognition from professional groups that are paid relatively high compared with other professional groups with the same level of education. | BLARK_translated | Men at fáa slíkar ójavnar burtur við einari felags lønarskipan/lønartalvu er ikki sum at siga tað, tí tað krevur millum annað viðurkenning frá starvsbólkum, ið liggja høgt í løn samanborið við aðrar starvsbólkar á sama útbúgvingarstigi. |
A common salary table, where all public wages are assessed by the same criteria – parameters – will also quite quickly mean that colleagues within the same occupational group, with the same education and in the same union, may end up being paid differently depending on the work functions they have. | BLARK_translated | Ein felags lønartalva, har allar almennar lønir verða mettar eftir somu mátum – parametrum – fer rættiliga vist eisini at merkja, at starvsfelagar innan sama starvsbólk, við somu útbúgving og í sama fakfelag, kunnu fara at verða ymiskt lønt, alt eftir hvørjar arbeiðsfunksjónir tey hava. |
He emphasizes that differentiation of this kind can be difficult to reach agreement on and to get implemented. | BLARK_translated | Hann leggur dent á, at differensiering av hesum slag kann vera trupul at fáa semju um og at fáa implementerað. |
And the fact that people may agree on some main principles does not mean that everything will be changed overnight, he says. | BLARK_translated | Og fyri tað, at man kanska verður samdur um nøkur høvuðsprinsipp, so merkir tað ikki, at alt verður broytt eftir einum degi, sigur hann. |
Trade unions in the public labor market have for many years been working with the idea of a common pay system. The Civil Servants' Union has also had this as a goal since 2003 — sometimes prominently on the agenda, at other times less visible. | BLARK_translated | Fakfeløg á almenna arbeiðsmarknaðinum hava í nógv ár arbeitt við hugsanini um eina felags lønarskipan. Eisini Starvsmannafelagið, sum hevur havt hetta sum stevnu síðani 2003 – onkuntíð frammalaga á skránni, aðrar tíðir minni sjónligt. |
The last time the union actually brought the matter forward was in 2012. In the agreement that was then made between the Union of Employees and KAF (the Municipal Employers' Association), it was an independent point that the parties should begin consultations about a joint pay system. | BLARK_translated | Seinast felagið veruliga hevði málið frammi var í 2012. Í semjuni, sum tá varð gjørd ímillum Starvsmannafelagið og KAF (Kommunala Arbeiðsgevarafelagið), var tað eitt sjálvstøðugt punkt, at partarnir skuldu fara undir at samráðast um eina felags lønarskipan. |
Nothing happened then, but when Kristina Háfoss, Minister of Finance, about a year ago made her first wage agreement with the Faroese Teachers’ Union, it was recorded in a protocol that a committee should be appointed to examine the public pay scale, both as a whole and for individual occupational groups. The committee... | BLARK_translated | Onki hendi tó tá, men tá Kristina Háfoss, fíggjarmálaráðharri, fyri einum góðum ári síðani gjørdi sína fyrstu sáttmálasemju við Føroya Pedagogfelag, kom tað at standa í einum protokollati, at ein nevnd skuldi setast at kanna almenna lønarlagið, bæði sum heild og hjá einstøkum starvsbólkum. Eisini skuldi nevndin kanna m... |
And it is this work that is now, somewhat delayed, getting underway. | BLARK_translated | Og tað er hetta arbeiðið, ið nú nakað seinkað fer í gongd. |
There will be a seven-member committee tasked with trying to reach an agreement on a recommendation. The committee is staffed by three representatives for the employers’ side — two from the Ministry of Finance and one from KAF — and three representatives for the trade unions. These six representatives have then elected... | BLARK_translated | Tað verður ein sjeymannanevnd, sum skal royna at finna eina semju um eitt tilmæli. Nevndin er mannað av trimum umboðum fyri arbeiðsgevarasíðuna tvey frá Fíggjarmálaráðnum og eitt frá KAF – og trimum umboðum fyri fakfeløgini. Hesi seks umboðini hava so valt eina forkvinnu fyri nevndina, sum eitur Súsanna Olsen. |
It is my hope that we will reach an agreement on a common pay scale and a more transparent, more timely and perhaps also fairer salary system in the public sector. | BLARK_translated | Tað er mín vón, at man røkkur eini semju um eina felags lønartalvu og eina meira gjøgnumskygda, meira tíðarhóskandi og kanska eisini meira rættvísa lønarskipan hjá tí almenna. |
One thing that comes up a lot when I talk with various professional groups is that they often compare themselves to others, and there's nothing strange about that. What perhaps is the problem today with gathering the contracts into a common pay system is precisely that they are so different. They have different working... | BLARK_translated | Eitt sum gongur nógv aftur, tá eg tosi við ymsar fakbólkar, er, at tey ofta samanbera seg við onnur, og tað er onki løgið í tí. Tað, sum so kanska er trupulleikin í dag við at savna sáttmálarnar í eina felags lønarskipan, er júst tað, at teir eru so ymiskir. Teir hava ymiskar arbeiðstíðarreglur og ymiskar lønartalvur, ... |
Therefore it is difficult to compare the current contracts, but the purpose of a common pay system is, as mentioned, to achieve more transparency and hopefully also that people will feel it is fairer where they are placed on the salary scale, she says. | BLARK_translated | Tí er tað ringt at samanbera verandi sáttmálar, men endamálið við einari felags lønarskipan er sum sagt at fáa meira gjøgnumskygni og vónandi eisini, at fólk fara at kenna tað meira rættvíst, har sum tey blíva innplaserað í lønartalvuni, sigur hon. |
The Minister of Finance does not expect any upheavals in any areas regarding the negotiations this autumn. Under all | BLARK_translated | Fíggjarmálaráðharrin væntar tó onga kollvelting á øllum økjum viðvíkjandi samráðingunum í heyst. Undir øllum |
under the circumstances one must reckon with a period of change at the turn of the year, she says. | BLARK_translated | umstøðum má roknast við einari skiftistíð á eitt áramál, heldur hon. |
If the work to create a new common pay system for the entire public labor market succeeds, the negotiations will likely take place this autumn | BLARK_translated | Um arbeiðið at gera eina nýggja felags lønarskipan fyri allan tann almenna arbeiðsmarknaðin eydnast, fara samráðingarnar í heyst sannlíkt |
The worst thing that can happen is if the employers’ side – the Ministry of Finance and the Municipal Employers’ Association – beforehand say that a new pay system must cost nothing. Because then it is doomed at birth. | BLARK_translated | Tað ringasta, sum kann henda, er, um arbeiðsgevarasíðan – Fíggjarmálaráðið og Kommunala Arbeiðsgevarafelagið – frammanundan sigur, at ein nýggj lønarskipan onki má kosta. Tí so er hon deyðadømd í føðingini. |
He otherwise hopes that it will be possible to create a joint public salary system, which over the past 15 years has been | BLARK_translated | Hann vónar annars, at tað fer at eydnast at gera eina felags almenna lønarskipan, sum seinastu 15 árini hevur verið |
But he also acknowledges that a common wage system will bring major challenges both within the individual trade unions and in the interaction between the unions. | BLARK_translated | Men hann ásannar samstundis, at ein felags lønarskipan eisini fer at hava stórar avbjóðingar við sær bæði inni í einstøku fakfeløgunum og í samanspælinum millum fakfeløgini. |
I imagine that in a unified salary system all positions should be placed into the pay scale after being weighted according to some criteria. That can mean that people with the same education in the same company, perhaps even at the same workplace, in some cases receive different pay. | BLARK_translated | Eg ímyndi mær, at í eini felags lønarskipan skulu øll størv innplaserast í lønartalvuna, eftir at tey eru vektað eftir onkrum frymli. Tað kann so merkja, at fólk við somu útbúgving í sama felag, kanska enntá á sama arbeiðsplássi, í onkrum førum fáa ymiska løn. |
In addition, there are probably some unions that fear that the right to negotiate will get too close to a common pay system, because what will one then negotiate about as an individual union? It will somehow be a bit of the LO through the back door, says Súni Selfoss. | BLARK_translated | Afturat hesum eru tað helst onkur feløg, sum óttast, at samráðingarrætturin verður gingin ov nær við einari felags lønarskipan, tí hvat skal man tá samráðast um sum einstakt felag? Tað verður jú onkursvegna eitt sindur av LO gjøgnum bakdyrnar, sigur Súni Selfoss. |
But precisely with all these considered challenges and potential matters of conflict in mind, it is therefore incredibly important that the preparation is carried out as well as possible. For this is also a great responsibility that is placed on the committee that must try to find agreement on a common... | BLARK_translated | Men júst við øllum hesum hugsaðu avbjóðingum og møguligu stríðsmálum í huga er tað so ómetaliga týdningarmikið, at forarbeiðið er frágingið so væl sum møguligt. Tí er tað eisini ein stór ábyrgd, sum verður løgd á nevndina, sum skal royna at finna semjuna um eina felags |
The chairman of the Teachers' Association does not hide that the new joint salary system has been an issue for his union for many years now. | BLARK_translated | Formaðurin í Pedagogfelagnum dylir ikki fyri, at nýggja felags lønarskipanin hevur verið eitt mál fyri hansara felag í nógv ár nú. |
He sees it as a clear advantage if the employee receives the same pay when he has the same educational weight as someone the person supervises. And if one does the same job. For example, has the same responsibility. | BLARK_translated | Hann sær tað sum ein greiðan fyrimun, um løntakarin fær somu løn, um hann útbúgvingarliga hevur somu tyngd, sum ein sum viðkomandi arbeiðir undir liðini á. Og um man ger tað sama. T.d. hevur somu ábyrgd. |
Jógvan Philbrow does not want to go into how such a system should be put together, but he still believes there are several advantages to it. | BLARK_translated | Jógvan Philbrow vil ikki beinleiðis inn á, hvussu ein slík skipan skal skrúvast saman, men hann heldur tó fleiri fyrimunir vera við henni. |
In our opinion, it is a clearer system where those who do the same work receive the same pay, and also so that people know why they get exactly the salary they receive, says Jógvan Philbrow. | BLARK_translated | Eftir okkara tykki er tað ein greiðari skipan, har tey, sum gera sama arbeiði, fáa somu løn, og eisini at fólk vita, hví tey fáa júst ta lønina tey fáa, sigur Jógvan Philbrow. |
It is very unfortunate in my mind that there is a difference, he says. | BLARK_translated | Tað er stak óheppið í mínum hugaheimi, at tað er munur á, sigur hann. |
