Automation will happen, whether we want it or not. It is of no use | BLARK_translated | Automatiseringin fer at henda, um vit vilja tað ella ikki. Tað nyttar einki |
to stop her. But it is about influencing her as much as possible, they said, and quoted in this connection the former American president, Abraham Lincoln (here in Faroese translation): | BLARK_translated | at steðga henni. Men tað snýr seg at ávirka hana mest møguligt, søgdu tey, og endurgóvu í hesum sambandi fyrrverandi amerikanska forsetan, Abraham Lincoln (her í føroyskari umseting): |
The most famous way to predict your future is to create it. | BLARK_translated | Frægasti mátin at spáa um tína framtíð er at skapa hana. |
The chairman of the Civil Servants' Union also identified digitization as one of the challenges ahead. | BLARK_translated | Formaðurin í Starvsmannafelagnum, tók eisini talgilding fram, sum eina avbjóðing, sum liggur fyri framman. |
Under the headline 'The Digital Revolution in the Faroe Islands – also a breakthrough for those publicly employed?' Súni Selfoss described the project Digital Faroe Islands, which the government has called a technical revolution. | BLARK_translated | Undir yvirskiftini 'Talgilda kollveltingin í Føroyum – eisini eitt frambrot fyri tey alment settu?' lýsti Súni Selfoss verkætlanina Talgildu Føroyar, sum landsstýrið hevur kallað eina tekniska kollvelting. |
Jan Mortensen, the payroll manager in the Ministry of Finance, said that we must pour cold water into our blood (i.e., cool our enthusiasm / calm down). | BLARK_translated | Jan Mortensen, lønarstjóri í Fíggjarmálaráðnum helt, at vit mugu sláa kalt vatn í blóðið. |
He emphasized that the changes will not happen overnight. The project "Digitized Faroe Islands" is part of a longer development plan, in which the changes occur gradually. | BLARK_translated | Hann legði dent á, at broytingarnar fara ikki at henda eftir einum degi. Verkætlanin Talgildu Føroyar er liður í eini langari menningarætlan, har broytingarnar henda so líðandi. |
When the final amount in 2028 is gone, the fund will only, at a constant level, purchase various insurances on behalf of the members. | BLARK_translated | Tá lokaupphæddin í 2028 er burtur, kemur grunnurin bert, á samhaldsføstum støði, at keypa ymsar tryggingar vegna limirnar. |
The main function of the Social Insurance Fund is, of course, to purchase insurance that provides benefits in the event of death or certain serious illnesses. | BLARK_translated | Fremsta virki hjá Samlagstryggingargrunninum er jú at keypa tryggingar, ið geva veitingar við deyða ella við ávísar hættisligar sjúkur. |
Nor last year we did not escape human loss either. Three members died and the fund also paid out six bereavement grants in connection with the death of a spouse. | BLARK_translated | Heldur ikki í fjør eru vit sloppin undan menniskjaligum missi. Tríggir limir doyðu og lat grunnurin aftrat hesum eisini seks útgjøld í sambandi við deyða hjá hjúnafelaga. |
As considered by the Insurance Pool, the insurances that the pool purchases are roughly what the members want, but work is continually being done to improve them so that we always get the best — and, if possible, the cheapest — product. At the same time the possibility of increasing the number of insurances covered by ... | BLARK_translated | Sum er metir Samlagstryggingargrunnurin, at tær tryggingar, ið grunnurin keypir, eru á leið tað, sum limirnir ynskja sær, men alla tíðina verður tó arbeitt við at betra um, so at vit altíð fáa ta bestu – og um møguligt – ódýrastu vøruna. Samstundis verður alla tíðina kannaður møguleikin fyri at økja talið av tryggingum... |
In broad terms, the Pension Insurance Fund, which is, on behalf of its members, the purchaser, provides three insurances. Life insurance, which applies to the member and spouse/partner; insurance that pays out in the event of a serious illness of the insured; and insurance that pays out in the event of a serious illnes... | BLARK_translated | Í høvuðsheitum keypir Samlagstryggingargrunnurin, sum er, vegna limirnar tríggjar tryggingar. Lívstrygging, ið er galdandi fyri lim og hjúnafelag/samlivara, trygging, ið veitir útgjald við álvarsliga sjúku hjá tí tryggjaða og trygging, ið veitir útgjald við álvarsliga sjúka hjá barni hjá tí tryggjaða. Aftrat hesum eru ... |
The leading causes of death in our part of the world are heart and circulatory diseases and cancer. More and more of us are being diagnosed with one or more of these illnesses, and the sooner we receive treatment, the better the chance of being cured. But precisely because the number of cases is increasing, it is absol... | BLARK_translated | Fremstu deyðsorsøkirnar í okkara parti av heiminum eru sjúkur í hjarta og blóðrensli og krabbasjúkur. Alt fleiri okkara fáa staðfest onkrar av hesum sjúkum, og fyrr vit koma undir viðgerð, tess betri er møguleikin at verða grøddur. Men júst tí at talið av sjúkuraktum økist, er avgjørt neyðugt at hava eina vælvirkandi t... |
There are very many different opinions about how we create a good society. Even within the Trade Union, where the causes and priorities that determine where the cross should be placed are just as varied as elsewhere. | BLARK_translated | Hvussu vit skapa tað góða samfelagið, eru tað ógvuliga nógvar ymiskar meiningar um. Eisini í Starvsmannafelagnum, har orsøkirnar og raðfestingarnar avgera, hvar krossurin skal setast, eru líka fjølbroyttar sum hjá øðrum. |
Again this year the Employees’ Association will select some core issues. These are issues that we believe are of particularly great importance to our members and Faroese wage earners. Issues that we want to highlight and, ideally, obtain political support for during the 2019 election period. The core issues have been d... | BLARK_translated | AFTUR í ár fer Starvsmannafelagið tí at velja sær nøkur kjarnumál. Tað er nøkur mál, sum vit halda hava serliga stóran týdning fyri okkara limir og føroyska løntakaran. Mál, sum vit vilja varpa ljós á og helst fáa politiska undirtøku fyri í valskeiðnum 2019. Kjarnumálini eru viðgjørd av nevndini og álitisfólkunum í fel... |
Issues that have been proposed as core topics in 2019 include, for example: | BLARK_translated | Mál, sum hava verið í uppskoti sum kjarnumál í 2019 eru, t.d.: |
IT HAS not been said that the period with precisely this coalition has been a bed of roses for our members and Faroese wage earners. | BLARK_translated | HERVIÐ er ikki sagt, at skeiðið við júst hesi samgonguni hevur verið nakar dansur á rósum fyri okkara limir og føroyska løntakaran. |
It was a disappointment when the proposal by opposition MP Sonja Jógvansdóttir on an anti-discrimination law failed in the parliament, and Framsókn backed out at the eleventh hour. A matter that fortunately seems to be back on track now with the Ministry of Transport as the prime mover. Hopefully it will succeed this t... | BLARK_translated | Tað var eitt vónbrot, tá ið uppskotið hjá uttantingkvinnuni Sonju Jógvansdóttur um eina mismunarlóg fall í løgtinginum, og Framsókn bakkaði út í 11. tíma. Eitt mál, sum tíbetur tykist at vera komið aftur á sporið nú við Samferðslumálaráðnum sum primus motori. Vónandi fer tað at lukkast hesaferð. |
When the prime minister on Ólavsøka announced potential legislative interventions that will curtail the union's bargaining power, it was unannounced tones from the chairman of the party that historically has stood closest to the trade union movement. | BLARK_translated | Tá ið løgmaður á ólavsøku boðaði frá møguligum lógarinntrivum, sum fara at skerja verkfalsvápnið, vóru tað ófrættakendir tónar frá formanninum í flokkinum, sum søguliga hevur staðið fakfelagsrørsluni næst. |
And when the parliament, just before Christmas, gave the country permission to sell its shares in P/F Postverk Føroya, it was also a disappointment for the Civil Servants’ Association that everyone in the coalition completely shut down and failed to attach any real conditions regarding employees’ working conditions. | BLARK_translated | Og tá ið løgtingið beint fyri jól gav landinum heimild at selja síni partabrøv í P/F Postverki Føroya, var tað eisini eitt vónbrot fyri Starvsmannafelagið, at øll í samgonguni løgdu seg púra skerfløt og ikki megnaðu at leggja nakrar veruligar treytir viðvíkjandi starvsfólkaviðurskiftunum. |
This way the voters who are members of our association can also take this information into account in their assessments. If they believe it is so important that it should influence their vote. | BLARK_translated | So kunnu veljararnir, sum eru limir í okkara felag, eisini hava hesar upplýsingarnar við í sínum metingum. Um teir halda, at tað hevur so stóran týdning, at tað skal ávirka teirra val. |
With this we call on all members and people in general to use their democratic right and go vote. | BLARK_translated | Við hesum fara vit at heita á allir limirnar og fólk annars um at nýta sín demokratiska rætt og fara á val. |
Pay during illness, notice periods, probationary periods, the right to organize in a trade union. This is just some of what it covers. The Civil Servants Act, which since 1958 has been the framework for employment conditions for thousands of employees in the Faroe Islands. | BLARK_translated | Løn undir sjúku, uppsagnartíð, royndartíð, rætturin at skipa seg í fakfelag. Hetta er bara nakað av tí, sum hon fevnir um. Starvsmannalógin, sum líka síðani 1958 hevur verið karmur um setanarviðurskiftini hjá túsundtals løntakarum í Føroyum. |
That is why the law has sometimes been called the workers’ Robin Hood. And when the Danes last year published an 80th anniversary commemorative book for the civil service law, it went without saying that it was a trade union, HK, the sister organization to the Civil Servants’ Union, that issued the honorary publication... | BLARK_translated | Tí hevur lógin onkuntíð verðið rópt lógarinnar Robin Hood hjá løntakarunum. Og tá ið danir í fjør góvu út eitt 80 ára minnisrit fyri starvsmannalógini, talaði tað fyri seg, at tað var eitt fakfelag, HK, systurfelagið hjá Starvsmannafelagnum, sum gav heiðursritið út. |
A civil servant means a fonctionary, and the model for the Faroese civil service law is the Danish fonctionary law — which came into force in Denmark in 1938. | BLARK_translated | Starvsmaður merkir funktionerur, og fyrimyndin fyri føroysku starvsmannalógini er danska funktionerlógin – sum kom í gildi í Danmark í 1938. |
The word funktionerur originally comes from the French word functionnaire, which means staff in a subordinate position, but it is not a complete description. In reality it refers to employees who have a very specific type of work, which is described in more detail in the civil service law. If they fall under the law, t... | BLARK_translated | Orðið funktionerur kemur upprunaliga av franska orðinum functionnaire, sum merkir starvsfólk í undirskipaðum starvi, men tað er eingin fullfíggjað lýsing. Í roynd og veru er talan um løntakarar, sum hava eitt heilt ávíst slag av arbeiði, sum er nærri lýst í starvsmannalógini. Koma tey undir lógina, eru tey starvsmenn. ... |
The Employment Act applies to both privately and publicly employed persons. It does not distinguish whether employees are paid hourly or not, provided they otherwise perform work that falls under the Act and is under the employer’s supervision. | BLARK_translated | Starvsmannalógin er galdandi fyri bæði privat og alment sett. Hon ger ikki mun á, um starvsfólk eru tímalønt ella ikki, um tey annars gera arbeiði, ið kemur undir lógina og er undir leiðslu arbeiðsgevarans. |
Workers under the law are primarily those who work in retail and in offices. Or in warehouses, which can be equated with retail and office work. | BLARK_translated | Starvsmenn eftir lógini eru fyrst og fremst tey, sum arbeiða í handli og á skrivstovu. Ella á vørugoymslu, sum kann javnmetast við handils- og skrivstovuarbeiði. |
After that, staff who provide clinical or technical assistance arrive. These can be, for example, doctors and nurses, and technical assistants and laboratory technicians, respectively. | BLARK_translated | Harnæst koma starvsfólk, sum veita kliniska ella tekniska hjálp. Tað kann vera ávikavist t.d. læknar og sjúkrasystrar og tekniskir assistentar og laborantar. |
A requirement to come under the Civil Service Act is that the content of the position for the most part consists of functional work, as described in the law. | BLARK_translated | Eitt krav fyri at koma undir starvsmannalógina er, at innihaldið í starvinum fyri meginpartin er funktionerarbeiði, sum tað er lýst í lógini. |
All the collective agreements of the Employees’ Association contain a provision meaning that those covered by the agreement are simultaneously covered by the Civil Servants Act. This means that some employees who are not civil servants under the law nevertheless have the status of civil servants. The exception is seafa... | BLARK_translated | Allir sáttmálarnir hjá Starvsmannafelagnum hava eina áseting, sum merkir, at tey, sum koma undir sáttmálan, samstundis eru fevnd av starvsmannalógini. Hetta merkir, at summi starvsfólk, sum ikki eru starvsmenn eftir lógini, kortini hava status sum starvsmenn. Undantikin eru tó sjófólk, sum ikki koma undir hetta, tí tey... |
In the Faroe Islands the civil service law has, so to speak, remained unchanged since 1958, and there is a need for it to be modernized now. An update of the civil service law was among the core issues that the Civil Servants' Association chose in 2015. | BLARK_translated | Í Føroyum hevur starvsmannalógin so at siga verið óbroytt síðani 1958, og tørvur er á, at hon verður nútímansgjørd. Ein dagføring av starvsmannalógini var millum kjarnumálini, sum Starvsmannafelagið kjósaði sær í 2015. |
The Civil Service Act has been an important safeguard for employment relations and a model in the labour market for about 60 years. And everything indicates that it will continue to play a decisive role in the Faroese labour market for many years to come. | BLARK_translated | Starvsmannalógin hevur verið ein týdningarmikil verjugarður um starvsfólkaviðurskifti og fyrimynd á arbeiðsmarknaðinum í góð 60 ár. Og alt bendir á, at hon eisini í nógv ár frameftir fer at hava ein avgerandi leiklut á føroyska arbeiðsmarknaðinum. |
Work was done all day and all night, and not until the next day, June 7 at 6 p.m., could the shift change take place, and the crew were allowed to go home. | BLARK_translated | Arbeitt varð allan dagin og alla náttina, og ikki fyrr enn dagin eftir, 7. juni kl. 18, kundi vaktarskifti vera, og manningin slapp heim. |
The dispute is about how the men are to be paid for those 30 hours that went out of the shift change and into the crew's time off. | BLARK_translated | Trætan er um, hvussu menninir skulu lønast fyri hesar 30 tímarnar, sum fóru út um vaktarskiftið og inn í frívaktina hjá manningini. |
On Thursday, September 6, the administrations and boards in the Trade Union Work held a joint meeting in Smæruna. | BLARK_translated | Hósdagin 6. september høvdu umsitingarnar og nevndirnar í Fakfelagsstarvinum felags fund í Smæruni. |
Dánjal Højgaard from the Workers' Union gave a presentation about the unregulated labor market and social dumping. Afterwards there was group work, where there was discussion about what the trade union movement can do, e.g. the possibility of conducting a joint survey and report on the situation. | BLARK_translated | Dánjal Højgaard úr Starvsmannafelagnum, hevði framløgu um óskipaða arbeiðsmarknaðin og sosiala dumping. Aftaná var bólkaarbeiði, har kjakast varð um, hvat fakfelagsrørslan kann gera, t.d. møguleikan at gera eina felags kanning og frágreiðing um støðuna. |
Óluva í Gong, chairwoman of the Association of Faroese Nurses, informed about ALS. She represents the trade unions on the board of the unemployment insurance scheme. | BLARK_translated | Óluva í Gong, forkvinna í Felagnum Føroyskir Sjúkrarøktarfrøðingar, kunnaði um ALS. Hon umboðar fakfeløgini í stýrinum fyri arbeiðsloysisskipanina. |
Anna Johannesen, secretary of the Employees' Association, reported on the activities of the working group with representatives for the labor market, which has been tasked with providing salary statistics. She also reported on the proposal that came a few months ago regarding adult education and the labor market hub. | BLARK_translated | Anna Johannesen, skrivari í Starvsmannafelagnum, kunnaði um virksemið hjá arbeiðsbólkinum við umboðum fyri arbeiðsmarknaðin, sum er settur at útvega lønarhagtøl. Eisini kunnaði hon um álitið, sum kom fyri nøkrum mánaðum síðani um vaksnamannaútbúgvingar og arbeiðsmarknaðardepil. |
Súni Selfoss, chairman of the Staff Association, presented views in a research project by Laust Kristian Høgedahl, “Public collective bargaining negotiations” | BLARK_translated | Súni Selfoss, formaður í Starvsmannafelagnum, greiddi frá sjónarmiðum í granskingarverkætlan hjá Laust Kristian Høgedahl, “Offentlige overenskomstforhandlinger |
and conflict resolution – Denmark in a Nordic perspective.” A project that has been discussed at a meeting of the trade union federation for municipal employees, NSO, where the Civil Servants’ Union is represented. | BLARK_translated | og konfliktløsning – Danmark i et nordisk perspektiv”. Ein verkætlan, sum hevur verið umrødd á fundi í fakfelagssamtakinum hjá kommunalum starvsfólkum, NSO, har Starvsmannafelagið er umboðað. |
Sigmund Poulsen, a lawyer, reflected on the Prime Minister’s Ólavsøka speech, in which it was announced that the Prime Minister has urged the Ministry of Transport, which is responsible for labor market matters, to consider how legislation can be implemented regarding how to proceed in strike situations where life or m... | BLARK_translated | Sigmund Poulsen, advokatur, hugleiddi um ólavsøkurøðu løgmans, har boðað varð frá, at løgmaður hevur heitt á Samferðslumálaráðið, sum varðar av arbeiðsmarknaðarmálum, um at umhugsa, hvussu lóggáva kann setast í verk um, hvussu skal farast fram í verkfalsstøðu, har lív ella stór samfelagsvirði eru í váða. Sigmund Poulse... |
The unions in the Trade Union Cooperation are the Teachers' Association, the Civil Servants' Association, the Pedagogues' Association, the Association of Faroese Nurses, the Association of Academics, and the Tórshavn Working Women's Association. | BLARK_translated | Feløgini í Fakfelagssamstarvinum eru Lærarafelagið, Starvsmannafelagið, Pedagogfelagið, Felagið Føroyskir Sjúkrarøktarfrøðingar, Akademikarafelagið og Havnar Arbeiðskvinnufelag. |
PRISON: It is probably not entirely off the mark when some foreign media conclude that no prison in the world has a more beautiful view than the one in Mjørkadalur. And it is true that the view is open and captivating, but life at the old NATO station is forced for those who are not here on official business. The socia... | BLARK_translated | FONGSUL: Helst er tað ikki heilt við síðuna av, tá onkrir útlendskir miðlar gera ta niðurstøðu, at einki fongsul í heiminum hevur vakrari útsýni, enn tað í Mjørkadali. Og rætt er tað, at útsýnið er frítt og fangandi, men uppihaldið á gomlu natostøðini er tvingað fyri tey, sum ikki eru her í starvsørindum. Sosialráðgeva... |
In addition to those incarcerated in Mjørkadalur, there are 18 staff members who go about their daily work here. For example, prison officers and social workers. Two of the three social workers are Birita Jaspursdóttir Joensen, who is in a temporary position, and Eliesar Esmarsson Jacobsen, who has worked for the Priso... | BLARK_translated | Umframt tey innsettu í Mjørkadali eru 18 starvsfólk, sum hava sína dagligu gongd her. Eitt nú fangavørðar og sosialráðgevar. Tveir av teimum trimum sosialráðgevunum eru Birita Jaspursdóttir Joensen, sum er í fyribilsstarvi, og Eliesar Esmarsson Jacobsen, ið hevur starvast hjá Kriminalforsorgini seinastu 17 árini. |
The tasks of the social workers at the Prison and Probation Service, which is one of the few institutions remaining in the Faroe Islands that has not been taken over by Danish authorities, are varied. | BLARK_translated | Uppgávurnar hjá sosialráðgevunum á Kriminalforsorgini, ið er ein av teimum fáu stovnunum eftir í Føroyum, sum ikki er yvirtikin frá donskum myndugleikum, eru ymiskar. |
If the person receives a suspended sentence – either with a condition of community service or not – it is the Prison and Probation Service that supervises the convicted person. The majority of those suspended sentences include a condition of community service. A large part of the social workers’ job is to supervise tho... | BLARK_translated | Um viðkomandi fær ein treytaðan dóm – antin við treyt um samfelagstænastu ella ikki – er tað Kriminalforsorgin, sum hevur eftirlit við tí dømda. Størsti parturin av teimum treytaðu dómunum hava treyt um samfelagstænastu. Stórur partur av arbeiðinum hjá sosialráðgevunum er at hava eftirlit við teimum, ið hava treytaðan ... |
The number of personality assessments has increased significantly since 2014, when the Danish Public Prosecutor demanded that more investigations of this kind be carried out. He considered it more beneficial that those convicted do community service or receive treatment, instead of being imprisoned. | BLARK_translated | Talið av persónskanningum er vaksið munandi síðani 2014, tá danski ríkisadvokaturin kravdi, at tað skuldu gerast fleri kanningar av hesum slagi. Hann metti tað vera gagnligari, at tey dømdu gjørdu samfelagstænastu ella fóru í viðgerð, ístaðin fyri at verða innistongd. |
Everyone is satisfied with this, because the employer gets something out of it, and the convicted person avoids serving their sentence in custody. We would gladly avoid seeing them here, because it is definitely best for all parties. Not least for themselves and their families, say the social workers. An agreement has ... | BLARK_translated | Hetta eru øll nøgd við, tí arbeiðsgevarin fær nakað burturúr, og tann dømdi sleppur undan at sita sín dóm í varðhaldinum. Vit vilja fegin sleppa undan at síggja tey heruppi, tí tað er avgjørt best fyri allar partar. Ikki minst fyri tey sjálvi og familjur teirra, siga sosialráðgevararnir. Avtala er gjørd við umleið 20 a... |
This may also be about a combined sentence, where the convicted person spends part of the time in custody while the remainder is served as community service. | BLARK_translated | Talan kann eisini vera um ein samansettan dóm, har tann dømdi part av tíðini situr í varðhaldi, meðan restin verður útint sum samfelagstænasta. |
Take care of many caregiving tasks. Social counselors encounter many different challenges in their work, and it can be quite unpleasant to hear what people are judged for or what comes up in conversations with the accused or defendant. | BLARK_translated | Røkja nógvar umsorganaruppgávur Sosialráðgevararnir møta nógvum ymiskum avbjóðingum í sínum starvi, og tað kann vera rættiliga óunniligt at hoyra, hvat fólk verða dømd fyri ella tað, sum kemur fram í samrøðum við tann dømda ella skuldsetta. |
Allowing them to have contact with others can sometimes be difficult. Especially when it concerns someone who is in custody, because then that person probably must not have contact with anyone outside. In those cases it is not the Prison and Probation Service either, but the police. | BLARK_translated | Júst hetta við at loyva teimum at fáa samband við onnur, kann tíðum vera trupult. Serliga tá talan er um ein, sum situr í varðhaldi, tí tá má viðkomandi helst ikki hava samband við nakran útifrá. Í teimum førum er tað heldur ikki Kriminalforsorgin, men politiið |
who is responsible for the matter and decides what can and cannot be done. | BLARK_translated | sum varðar av viðkomandi og ger av, hvat letur seg gera og ikki. |
After having experienced the conviction, it can be important for many of them to be supported in reestablishing their footing. This is especially true in the case of experimental release, where they are closely monitored during the period of experimental release. | BLARK_translated | Eftir at hava sitið dómin av sær, kann tað fyri fleiri av hesum hava týdning, at tey verða stuðlaði í at finna fótafestið aftur. Hetta er serliga galdandi, tá talan er um royndarleyslating, har tey verða fylgd tætt í royndarleyslatingartíðini. |
CHILD PROTECTION: When it comes to children, we are dealing with something that is a very sensitive subject for all families, because hardly any parent wants anything but the very best for their children. This says Jona Lamain, social counselor at the Child Protection Service in the Tórshavn municipality, who has been ... | BLARK_translated | BARNAVERND: Tá talan er um børn, eru vit inni á nøkrum, sum fyri allar familjur er eitt sera eymt evni, tí neyvan nøkur foreldur vilja børnum sínum annað enn tað allar besta. Hetta sigur Jona Lamain, sosialráðgevi á Barnaverndartænastuni í Tórshavnar kommunu, sum hevur verið fyri fleri hóttanum, og einaferð hevur maður... |
This is not our everyday life, but it happens that we have to bandage an entire finger and be two of us when we go to visit somewhere where the Child Welfare Service has been called, because something is not as it should be. However, such incidents are few and far between, and I have hardly ever been subjected to a dir... | BLARK_translated | Hetta er ikki dagligdagurin hjá okkum, men tað kemur fyri, at vit eru noydd at binda um heilan fingur og vera tvey, tá vit fara á vitjan onkustaðni, har Barnaverndartænastan er boðsend, tí okkurt er, sum tað ikki skal vera. Tað er tó langt ímillum, at slíkt hendir, og eg havi heldur ongantíð verið úti fyri beinleiðis á... |
Do you experience parents who simply do not have the ability to be parents, and if so, what do you do then? | BLARK_translated | Uppliva tit foreldur, sum rætt og slætt ikki hava førleikar at vera foreldur, og um so er, hvat gera tit tá? |
Yes, it happens more often than not that we encounter that. In such cases, advice often helps little. If it is a matter of deficient developmental skills, we have the family unit at the Children's Home, where the family can come and stay under supervision for a while while pedagogical observations are carried out. In t... | BLARK_translated | Ja, tað kemur meira enn so fyri, at vit koma út fyri tí. Í slíkum førum hjálpir oftani lítið við nakrari ráðgeving. Er talan um vantandi menningarførleikar hava vit familjudepilin á Barnaheimimum, har familjan kann koma og vera undir uppsýni eina tíð, meðan pedagogiskar eygleiðingar verða gjørdar. Í uttasta konsekvensi... |
Children are very different. Many are quite open and are happy to talk about the situation. They are used to talking with pedagogues and perhaps teachers, if they are school-aged. Others are more withdrawn. It is somewhat delicate to talk with the children, because it can be difficult to assess what they have been expo... | BLARK_translated | Børn eru ógvuliga ymisk. Nógv eru rættiliga opin og vilja fegin tosa um støðuna. Tey eru von við at tosa við pedagogar og kanska lærarar, um tey eru í skúlaaldri. Onnur eru meira afturlatin. Tað er nakað av einum kynstri at tosa við børnini, tí torført kann vera at meta um, hvat teimum hevur verið fyri. Hava tey verið ... |
Jona Lamain says she has a very exciting and important job, because she knows it can make a difference when she and her colleagues come in. | BLARK_translated | Jona Lamain sigur seg hava eitt sera spennandi og týðandi starv, tí hon veit, at tað kann gera mun, har hon og hennara starvsfelagar koma inn. |
The Child Protection Agency in Tórshavn handles about 400 child protection cases per year. That means the 10 social workers manage and process about 40 cases each. | BLARK_translated | Barnaverndarstovan í Havn hevur umleið 400 barnaverndarmál um árið. Tað vil siga, at teir 10 sosialráðgevararnir umsita og viðgera umleið 40 mál hvør. |
Jona Lamain graduated as a social counselor from the Social College in Copenhagen in 2004 and worked the first year with sickness benefits in the Danish capital. Since then she has been employed | BLARK_translated | Jona Lamain er útbúgvin sosialráðgevi á Den Sociale Højskole í Keypmannahavn í 2004 og arbeiddi fyrsta árið við sjúkradagpengum í danska høvuðsstaðnum. Síðani starvaðist |
WELFARE SERVICES: When an accident happens, or something occurs that makes a person unable to perform the job they were hired to do, retraining is a good option for moving forward in working life. Leif Olsen is trained as a social counselor and works as the social professional manager at the Welfare Services. | BLARK_translated | ALMANNAVERKIÐ: Tá óhappið er úti, ella okkurt hendir, sum ger ein persón óarbeiðsføran í tí starvinum, viðkomandi er settur at røkja, er umskúling ein góður møguleiki fyri at koma víðari í arbeiðslívinum. Leif Olsen er útbúgvin sosialráðgevi og virkar sum sosialfakligur leiðari á Almannaverkinum. |
He considers retraining to be an obvious solution to help people who, because of some disability or problem, otherwise do not have the opportunity to continue in the same job. | BLARK_translated | Hann heldur umskúling vera eina upplagda loysn at hjálpa fólki, sum orsakað av onkrum breki ella trupulleika annars ikki hava møguleika fyri at halda fram í sama starvi. |
Other circumstances can also make it difficult to support oneself. For example, if someone has lived under poor social conditions or circumstances that have caused psychological damage. For these people, retraining is a good opportunity to move forward in working life. | BLARK_translated | Onnur viðurskifti kunnu eisini vera forðandi fyri at kunna forsyrgja sær. Eitt nú, um ein hevur livað undir vánaligum sosialum viðurskiftum ella viðurskiftum, ið hava givið sálarligan løst. Fyri hesi fólk er umskúling ein góður møguleiki at koma víðari í arbeiðslívinum. |
Leif Olsen, who is a representative and social professional leader at the Social Welfare Agency, believes that retraining is often the right solution for those who have no possibility of continuing in exactly the same job, but still have many good years left in the labor market. | BLARK_translated | Leif Olsen, sum er fulltrúi og sosialfakligur leiðari á Almannaverkinum, heldur, at umskúling oftani er rætta loysnin fyri tey, sum ikki hava nakran møguleika fyri at halda fram í júst sama starvi, men framvegis hava nógv góð ár eftir á arbeiðsmarknaðinum. |
Another group is the young people who are affected by mental illness or have developmental disabilities. They may never have had a real job, and by the time they are around 30–35 years old there is no personal energy left. | BLARK_translated | Ein annar bólkur eru tey ungu, sum eru rakt av sálarsjúku ella hava menningartarn. Tey hava kanska ongantíð havt eitt veruligt arbeiði, og tá tey eru eini 30-35 ár er eingin persónlig orka eftir. |
In such cases we must have done everything to get the person out onto the labor market. Possibly in an adapted job. Our task is to help people enter the labor market and to get them to remain there, says Leif Olsen. | BLARK_translated | Í slíkum førum skulu vit hava gjørt alt fyri at fáa viðkomandi út á arbeiðsmarknaðin. Møguliga í einum tillagaðum starvi. Okkara uppgáva er at hjálpa fólki at koma á arbeiðsmarknaðin og fáa tey at verða verandi har, sigur Leif Olsen. |
He points out that it is important to make a comprehensive assessment of a case and get it resolved that way. | BLARK_translated | Hann vísir á, at tað er umráðandi at gera eina heildarmeting av einum máli og fáa tað loyst tann vegin. |
This opportunity to appeal is of great importance for the person concerned. It is also important for us to have our decisions tested in cases that may need to be understood differently than we have done. Secondly, to confirm that our decision was the right one, says Leif Olsen. | BLARK_translated | Hesin kærumøguleikin hevur stóran týdning fyri tann, sum avgerðin viðvíkur. Eisini hevur tað týdning fyri okkum at fáa avgerðir okkara royndar inn ímillum í málum, sum møguliga skulu skiljast øðrvísi, enn vit hava gjørt. Í øðrum lagi at fáa staðfest, at avgerð okkara var tann rætta, sigur Leif Olsen. |
THE ASSOCIATION: When social counselors in 1976 founded their own association, there were six of them. Now the members of the Social Counselors Association of the Faroes, which is organized as an interest association under the Civil Servants’ Union, number a full 66 members. A social counselor must above all be able to... | BLARK_translated | FELAGIÐ: Tá sosialráðgevarar í 1976 stovnaðu egið felag, vóru teir seks í tali. Nú telja limirnir í Sosialráðgevarafelag Føroya, ið er skipað sum eitt áhugafelag undir Starvsmannafelagnum, heilar 66 limir. Ein sosialráðgevi skal fyrst og fremst duga at fáa samband við fólk, ið hava tørv á hjálp, so hesi kenna seg hoyrd... |
It is not an exaggeration to say that the social work education is extremely well regarded among both Faroese and Danes. Many apply to the program, and the professional group has grown significantly in recent years. | BLARK_translated | Tað er ikki at taka munnin ov fullan at siga, at útbúgvingin sum sosialráðgevi er ógvuliga væl umtókt millum bæði føroyingar og danir. Nógv søkja inn á útbúgvingina, og fakbólkurin er seinnu árini vaksin í stórum. |
The first chairwoman of the association was Marjun Sigurðsdóttir (deceased), and today it is Jacoba Juulsdóttir Jacobsen who leads the Faroese social workers. | BLARK_translated | Fyrsta forkvinnan í felagnum var Marjun Sigurðsdóttir (sála), og í dag er tað Jacoba Juulsdóttir Jacobsen, sum stendur á odda fyri føroysku sosialráðgevunum. |
The social worker is the coordinator in the cooperation between the individual citizen and, for example, treatment centers and other authorities. | BLARK_translated | Sosialráðgevin er samskipari í samstarvinum millum tann einstaka borgaran og eitt nú viðgerðarstovnar og aðrar myndugleikar. |
The task of the social worker is to create a close relationship with the individual citizen and thereby obtain a comprehensive picture of the person and that person’s overall situation, says the chairwoman of the Faroese Social Workers’ Association. | BLARK_translated | Uppgávan hjá sosialráðgevanum er at skapa tætt samband við tann einstaka borgaran og harvið fáa eina heildarmynd av menniskjanum og samlaðu støðuni hjá viðkomandi, sigur forkvinnan í Føroya Sosialráðgevarafelag. |
The task of the social worker in such cases is — together with the citizen — to create a comprehensive social-professional picture. Based on this, necessary measures must be implemented that take into account the challenges the citizen and any family may have in this situation. With their professional skills, the socia... | BLARK_translated | Uppgávan hjá sosialráðgevanum er í slíkum førum – saman við borgaranum – at skapa sær eina sosialfakliga heildarmynd. Við støði í hesum mugu neyðug tiltøk setast í verk, sum taka hædd fyri avbjóðingum, sum borgarin og møgulig familja hava í hesari støðu. Við sínum fakligu førleikum stuðlar sosialráðgevin borgaranum úta... |
With this, the core issues of 2019 are established in the party's domestic platform in the same way as was done when they were created the first time in the election year 2015. | BLARK_translated | Við hesum eru kjarnumálini 2019 kjølfest í baklandi felagsins á sama hátt, sum gjørt varð, tá ið tey vórðu gjørd fyrru ferð í valárinum 2015. |
On Thursday, November 29th the Smæruna venue was again almost full. This time there was no group work, but instead there were several interesting presentations on the program. | BLARK_translated | Hósdagin 29. november var aftur nærum fullsett í Smæruni. Hesa ferð var einki bólkaarbeiði, men harafturímóti vóru fleiri áhugaverdar framløgur á skránni. |
Jan Jakobsen, director at LÍV, presented the investment policy of the insurance company owned by the Employees’ Association. He also explained the role that LÍV has in building new housing. | BLARK_translated | Jan Jakobsen, stjóri í LÍV, legði fram um íløgupolitikkin hjá tryggingarfelagnum, sum Starvsmannafelagið eigur í. Eisini greiddi hann frá leiklutinum, sum LÍV hevur at byggja nýggjar bústaðir. |
Dánjal Højgaard, a lawyer in the association, explained the Civil Service Act, which for 60 years has served the members of the Civil Servants’ Association and several thousand other employees in the Faroese labor market (read more about this in another article in the paper). | BLARK_translated | Dánjal Højgaard, løgfrøðingur í felagnum, greiddi frá starvsmannalógini, sum í 60 ár hevur tænt limunum í Starvsmannafelagnum og fleiri túsund øðrum starvsfólkum á føroyska arbeiðsmarknaðinum (les meira um hetta í grein aðrastaðni í blaðnum). |
Anna Johannesen, secretary of the Staff Association, and John Dalsgarð, coordinator at the Vocational Department, reported on the opinion that was announced a few months ago about adult education (more about this elsewhere in the paper). | BLARK_translated | Anna Johannesen, skrivari í Starvsmannafelagnum, og John Dalsgarð, samskipari á Yrkisdeplinum, greiddu frá álitinum, sum fyri nøkrum mánaðum síðani varð kunngjørt um vaksnamannaútbúgvingar (meira um hetta aðrastaðni í blaðnum). |
We have the equality law, which prohibits discrimination between women and men. Now there is a plan to introduce a law that more generally bans discrimination in the labor market, as is common in other countries. | BLARK_translated | Vit hava javnstøðulógina, sum bannar mismuni millum kvinnur og menn. Nú er ætlani, at fáa eina lóg, sum meira alment bannar mismuni á arbeiðsmarknaðinum, eins og vanligt er í øðrum londum. |
The purpose of the bill is to prohibit discrimination in the labor market on the grounds of race, skin color, religion or belief, political opinion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability or national or ethnic origin. | BLARK_translated | Endamálið við lógaruppskotinum er at banna mismuni á arbeiðsmarknaðinum vegna rasu, húðarlit, átrúnað ella trúgv, politiska áskoðan, kyn, kynsligan samleika, kynsliga sannføring, aldur, brek ella tjóðskaparligan ella fólkaeyðkenniligan uppruna. |
Similar legislation exists in neighboring countries, the EU and the Western world as a whole. But in the Faroe Islands we have no law that, as a whole, guarantees equal treatment in the labor market and that protects against discrimination in the labor market. | BLARK_translated | Líknandi lóggáva er í grannalondunum, ES og vesturheiminum sum heild. Men í Føroyum hava vit onga lóg, ið sum heild tryggjar javnviðgerð á arbeiðsmarknaðinum, og sum verjir fyri mismuni á arbeiðsmarknaðinum. |
If the law is passed, it could have major significance for the opportunities of people with disabilities to enter the labor market and to retain employment. As something new, the law imposes on employers a so-called duty to make accommodations, which applies in the other Nordic countries. | BLARK_translated | Verður lógin samtykt, kann hon fáa stóran týdning fyri møguleikarnar hjá fólki við breki at koma út á arbeiðsmarknaðin og at varðveita arbeiði. Sum nakað nýtt áleggur lógin nevniliga arbeiðsgevarunum eina sokallaða tillagingarskyldu, sum er galdandi í hinum Norðurlondunum. |
This means that employers must remove barriers so that people with disabilities who are otherwise qualified can perform the work tasks. If the adjustment is not made, it can, for example, mean that a dismissal is unlawful. However, the duty to make adjustments must be within reasonable limits, and it is an individual a... | BLARK_translated | Tað merkir, at arbeiðsgevarar skulu taka forðingar burtur, so at fólk við breki, ið annars eru skikkað, kunnu lyfta arbeiðsuppgávurnar. Verður tillagingin ikki uppfylt, kann tað t.d. merkja, at uppsøgn er ólóglig. Tillagingarskyldan skal tó vera innan fyri rímiligt mark, og tað er ein ítøkilig meting, hvussu nógv kann ... |
It is high time that employees in the Faroe Islands, as the last in the Nordic countries, receive the same public statutory protection against discrimination in the labor market. This has been a wish of the trade unions for many years, says Súni Selfoss, chairman of the Employees' Association. | BLARK_translated | Tað er í tøkum tíma, at løntakararnir í Føroyum sum teir seinastu í Norðurlondum fáa somu almennu lógarfestu verju móti mismuni á arbeiðsmarknaðinum. Hetta hevur verið eitt ynski hjá fakfeløgum í nógv ár, sigur Súni Selfoss, formaður í Starvsmannafelagnum. |
The Civil Servants' Association naturally would have wished that the labor market had more time to review the proposal. However, the association does not consider this to be a valid reason for the coalition not to present the proposal now that the election term is drawing to a close. | BLARK_translated | Starvsmannafelagið kundi sjálvandi ynskt sær, at arbeiðsmarknaðurin fekk betri stundir at viðgera uppskotið. Felagið heldur tó ikki, at hetta er nøkur haldgóð grund fyri, at samgongan ikki kann leggja uppskotið fram, nú valskeiðið lækkar móti endanum. |
Changes can still be made, but that should not be a major obstacle to the proposal being approved this time. This time | BLARK_translated | Broytingar kunnu framvegis gerast, men tað átti ikki at verið nøkur stór forðing fyri, at uppskotið verður samtykt hesaferð. Hesaferð |
I hope that the politicians can agree and are willing to give our wage-earners the same rights that they have elsewhere, says Súni Selfoss. | BLARK_translated | vóni eg, at politikararnir kunnu semjast og vilja geva okkara løntakarum somu rættindi, sum tey hava aðrastaðni, sigur Súni Selfoss. |
a. Co-insurance: The customer's cost will be reduced from 6% of the gross income | BLARK_translated | a. Samlagstrygging: Kostnaðurin hjá kundanum verður lækkaður úr 6% av bruttoinngjaldinum |
The above-mentioned changes mean that the customers will receive a bonus (rebate) of about DKK 1.8 million in total. | BLARK_translated | Omanfyri nevndu broytingar merkja, at viðskiftafólkini fáa eitt bonus (afturbering) uppá íalt umleið 1,8 mió.kr. |
2018 has been challenging — especially for equities. Interest rates remain at a low level. The stock market has fallen between 5 and 10%, while conventional bonds (mortgage and government bonds) have had a positive return. | BLARK_translated | 2018 hevur verið avbjóðandi – serliga fyri partabrøvini. Renturnar liggja framhaldandi á einum lágum støði. Partabrævamarknaðurin er fallin við millum 5 og 10%, meðan vanligu lánsbrøvini (realkredit- og statslánsbrøv) hava havt eitt positivt avkast. |
As the situation looks right now, it can be expected that the return for customers of the insurance company P/F Tryggingarfelagið LÍV will be between +1% and -1%. This depends on which investment category the savings are placed in. | BLARK_translated | Sum støðan sær út beint nú, so kann væntast, at avkastið hjá kundunum í P/F Tryggingarfelagnum LÍV kemur at liggja millum +1% og -1%. Hetta er tengt at, hvørjum íløgubólki uppsparingin liggur í. |
One topic in the past year has been whether and to what extent Faroese pension savings should “work” in Faroese society. | BLARK_translated | Eitt tema í farna ári hevur verið, um og í hvussu stóran mun føroyska eftirlønaruppsparingin skal “arbeiða” í føroyska samfelagnum. |
In the shareholders' agreement among the owners of the LÍV association there is this provision: | BLARK_translated | Í partaeigarasáttmálanum millum eigararnar av LÍV-samtakinum er hendan áseting: |
That the administration and the money operate to the greatest possible extent in the Faroe Islands, when this can be done without compromising the safety and return for the policyholder. | BLARK_translated | At umsiting og peningurin í størst møguligan mun virkar í Føroyum, tá hetta kann lata seg gera uttan at ganga út yvir tryggleika og avkast hjá tryggingartakaranum”. |
In connection with the discussion about investments in the Faroese housing market, the LÍV group has granted Bústøðir a loan of DKK 83 million, so that Bústøðir have the opportunity to carry out their plans. | BLARK_translated | Í sambandi við kjakið um íløgur í føroyska bústaðarmarknaðin, so hevur LÍV-samtakið veitt Bústøðum lán uppá 83 mió. kr., soleiðis at Bústaðir fáa møguleika at gjøgnumføra sínar ætlanir. |
As is known, changes to, among other things, the pension law were implemented from January 1, 2019. One of the changes is that all A-income (including for those under 21 years) must pay the mandatory pension contribution, which for 2019 is 5%. | BLARK_translated | Sum kunnugt vórðu broytingar í m.a. eftirlønarlógini settar í verk frá 1. januar 2019. Ein av broytingunum er, at allar a-inntøkur (eisini hjá teimum undir 21 ár) skulu gjalda tvingaða eftirlønargjaldið, sum fyri 2019 er 5%. |
Contact with the members is of crucial importance for a union. Therefore it has been a regular practice of the Civil Servants’ Association that the office staff and the board visit workplaces around the country to see the members. | BLARK_translated | Sambandið við limirnar hevur heilt avgerandi týdning fyri eitt fakfelag. Tí hevur tað verið fastur táttur hjá Starvsmannafelagnum, at skrivstovufólkini og nevndin fara út á arbeiðspláss kring landið at vitja limirnar. |
