On June 7 we visited workplaces in Suðuroy. We met the crew on Smyril and the staff at the Strandferðslan office in Tvøroyri. | BLARK_translated | 7. juni vitjaðu vit arbeiðspláss í Suðuroynni. Vit hittu manningina á Smyrli og starvsfólkini á skrivstovuni hjá Strandferðsluni á Tvøroyri. |
We visited Taks, Tvøroyr Municipality, the Post Office, Suðuroy Hospital and Føroya Tele in Tvøroyri, Vágar Municipality, Pálshøll and Marghøllin in Vágur, and we also visited Pókarfar Municipality. | BLARK_translated | Vit vitjaðu á Taks, Tvøroyrar Kommunu, Posta, Suðuroyar Sjúkrahúsi og Føroya Tele á Tvøroyri, Vágs kommunu, Pálshøll og Marghøllina í Vági, og so vóru vit eisini í Porkeris kommunu. |
The second visit was on September 11, when they went in two groups. One group went to Sandoy, and the other was in Vágur and Vestmanna. | BLARK_translated | Seinna vitjanin var 11. september, tá ið farið varð í tveimum bólkum. Annar bólkurin fór í Sandoynna, og hin var í Vágum og Vestmanna. |
On Sandoy, visits were made to the Sandoy School Association, Sandur Library, the Skálavík municipality, the Post Office and the National Alcohol Retailing. The association also met the crew of the coastal ferry Teistin. | BLARK_translated | Í Sandoynni varð vitjað hjá Sandoyar Skúlasambandi, Sands bókasavni, Skálavíkar kommunu, Posta og á Rúsdrekkasølu Landsins. Eisini hitti felagið manningina á strandfaraskipinum Teistanum. |
On the trip, the association gained insight into various kinds of challenges, such as employees who lack employment contracts or have contracts that are not in accordance with the rules. | BLARK_translated | Á ferðini fekk felagið innlit í avbjóðingar av ymiskum slagi, sum t.d. starvsfólk, sum mangla setanarskriv ella hava setanarskriv, sum eru í ósamsvari við reglurnar. |
They talked about cooperation problems and about the challenges that have arisen in connection with organizational changes at the workplace. | BLARK_translated | Tosað varð um samstarvstrupulleikar og um avbjóðingar, sum hava verið í sambandi við bygnaðarbroytingar á arbeiðsplássinum. |
The association also gained insight into problems that can arise from the watchkeeping system, and we gained insight into matters concerning safety and health. | BLARK_translated | Felagið fekk eisini innlit í trupulleikar, sum kunnu vera av vaktarskipanum, og vit fingu innlit í viðurskifti viðvíkjandi trygd og heilsu. |
In summary, these visits are valuable for the company, because they give us insight into matters that we otherwise would not have learned about. | BLARK_translated | Samanumtikið eru hesar vitjanirnar virðismiklar fyri felagið, tí vit fáa innlit í viðurskifti, sum vit annars ikki høvdu fingið nakað at vita um. |
We also get the opportunity to meet employees who are not members of the union, and can explain to them the advantages of being organized in a trade union. On last year’s trips we thus also succeeded in recruiting new members. | BLARK_translated | Eisini fáa vit høvi at møta starvsfólkum, sum ikki eru limir í felagnum, og kunnu greiða teimum frá fyrimununum við at vera skipað í fakfelag. Á ferðunum í fjør eydnaðist sostatt eisini at útvega nýggjar limir. |
The negotiations began in early November, and it quickly became clear that the interests were very different and that there was a wide gap between the parties. | BLARK_translated | Samráðingarnar byrjaðu fyrst í november mánaði, og skjótt sást, at áhugamálini vóru ógvuliga ymisk, og at langt var millum partarnar. |
Legally, the public limited companies or enterprises are part of the private labor market. The state owns the companies, but the parliament decided this winter that a process may be started to sell the state-owned shares in Posta. | BLARK_translated | Løgfrøðiliga eru almennu partafeløgini ella fyritøkurnar partur av privata arbeiðsmarknaðinum. Landið eigur fyritøkurnar, men løgtingið samtykti í vetur, at farast kann undir eina tilgongd at selja almennu partabrøvini í Posta. |
Time after time we see and hear about demands that would amount to a pay cut. The justification is that it would be too costly for companies to operate services, such as telephone shops, postal and freight transport, and office administration. We encounter employers who have clearly allowed themselves to be inspired by... | BLARK_translated | Ferð eftir ferð síggja og hoyra vit um krøv, sum høvdu merkt eina lønarlækking. Grundgevingin er, at tað skal vera ov kostnaðarmikið hjá fyritøkunum at reka tænastur, s.s. telebúðir, post- og farmaflutning og at reka skrivstovuhald. Vit møta arbeiðsgevarum, sum týðiliga hava latið seg inspirerað av bíligari sáttmálum, ... |
More and more often we hear comments at the negotiating table that “they are only this, or only that.” Yet I never hear anyone on the employers’ side mention the cost of the top of the wedding cake. What it is worth, and how it should be paid for. This has made me doubt what value company managements see in the lowest-... | BLARK_translated | Oftari og oftari hoyra vit viðmerkingar við samráðingarborðið um, at “tey eru bara hetta. ella bara hatta”. Ongantíð hoyri eg tó nakran á arbeiðsgevarasíðuni nevna kostnaðin av toppinum av kransakøkuni. Hvat hon er verd, og hvussu hon skal lønast. Hetta hevur fingið meg at ivast í, hvat virði virkisleiðslurnar síggja í... |
The course of events today convinces me of the importance of employees having a strong trade union behind them that does not accept such unreasonable demands. | BLARK_translated | Rákið, sum í dag er, sannførir meg um týdningin av, at starvsfólkini hava eitt sterkt fakfelag aftan fyri seg, sum ikki góðtekur slík órímilig krøv. |
For the Union of Employees it was very important to include in the agreement that pensions should also be paid on supplements at Føroya Tele. This was successfully included in the agreement. | BLARK_translated | Fyri Starvsmannafelagið var tað sera umráðandi at fáa við í semjuna, at eftirløn eisini skal gevast av ískoytum á Føroya Tele. Hetta eydnaðist at fáa við í semjuna. |
The additional amount is 500 kr. per month, and 500 kr. must be between the successive amounts. | BLARK_translated | viðbótarstigið er 500 kr. um mánaðin, og 500 kr. skulu vera millum fylgjandi stig. |
That means that from 1 January 2019 all supplements and all additions are pensionable. | BLARK_translated | Tað vil siga, at frá 1. januar 2019 eru øll ískoyti og allar viðbøtur eftirlønargevandi. |
In addition to this, an adjustment has been made in the agreement regarding how vacation days are accrued. | BLARK_translated | Aftur at hesum er tillaging gjørd í sáttmálanum um, hvussu feriudagar verða innvunnir. |
The Løgting (Parliament) approved this winter to grant authorization to sell the shares in P/F Postverk Føroya. The civil servants’ union had hoped to obtain better protection of employees’ rights after a possible sale set out in the law. But there was no support for that. | BLARK_translated | Løgtingið samtykti í vetur at geva heimild at selja partabrøvini í P/F Postverki Føroya. Starvsmannafelagið hevði vónað at fáa betri verju av starvsfólkarættindum eftir eina møguliga sølu ásett í lógina. Men hesum var ikki undirtøka fyri. |
Therefore it was important for the Civil Servants’ Association to obtain a contract as long as possible. This was to secure employee rights as far into the future as possible. The employers’ position was the opposite: they wanted the shortest possible contract, preferably no longer than one year. When it came together,... | BLARK_translated | Tískil var tað umráðandi fyri Starvsmannafelagið at fáa ein so langan sáttmála sum møguligt. Hetta fyri at tryggja starvsfólkarættindini so langt fram í tíðina sum møguligt. Støðan hjá arbeiðsgevarunum var tann øvuga: teir vildu hava so stuttan sáttmála sum gjørligt, helst ikki longur enn 1 ár. Tá ið samanum kom, blivu... |
This is what we are reasonably satisfied with. It is envisaged that the shares in Posta will be sold during the contract period, and with a 3-year contract there will be time to establish a good and constructive cooperation with the future owner of P/F Postverkið Føroya. | BLARK_translated | Hetta eru vit sum so nøgd við. Hugsandi er, at partabrøvini í Posta verða seld í sáttmálaskeiðnum, og við einum 3 ára sáttmála eru stundir at grundfesta eitt gott og uppbyggjandi samstarv við komandi eigaran av P/F Postverki Føroya. |
Those who have reached the state pension age will instead have the amount that would have been transferred as a pension paid out as salary. Before the amount is paid, charges that would have been paid at the same time as the salary are deducted from the amount, so that the employer’s expense remains unchanged. | BLARK_translated | Tey, sum hava nátt fólkapensiónsaldur, fáa ístaðin upphæddina, sum skuldi verið flutt sum eftirløn, útgoldna sum løn. Áðrenn upphæddin verður goldin, verða gjøld, sum skuldu rindast samstundis sum lønin, tikin av upphæddini, soleiðis at útreiðslan hjá arbeiðsgevara verður óbroytt. |
The civil servants' union regrets that the coalition parties the Social Democratic Party and the Republican Party did not manage to better secure employees' working conditions in the law that authorizes the sale of the public shares in P/F Postverk Føroya. | BLARK_translated | Starvsmannafelagið harmast um, at samgonguflokkarnir Javnaðarflokkurin og Tjóðveldi ikki megnaðu at tryggja starvsfólkaviðurskiftini betur í lógini, sum gevur heimild at selja tey almennu partabrøvini í P/F Postverki Føroya. |
As it is, there are only a few general and cursory comments in the bill about employee relations. These comments largely merely confirm the existing legal position, when the shares | BLARK_translated | Sum er, eru bert nakrar generellar og rundar viðmerkingar í lógaruppskotinum um starvsfólkaviðurskiftini. Hesar viðmerkingar staðfesta stórt sæð bert galdandi rættarstøðu, tá ið partabrøvini |
are sold, i.e. that the employees retain their rights and obligations. What will happen when the contract period ends, however, the law gives no guarantee for. | BLARK_translated | eru seld, t.v.s. at starvsfólkini varðveita rættindini og skyldur. Hvat ið skal henda, tá ið sáttmálaskeiðið er av, gevur lógin hinvegin onga trygd fyri. |
We regret this, because it can create insecurity among the staff about what the future will bring when the government eventually lets go of the reins. | BLARK_translated | Hetta harmast vit um, tí tað kann skapa ótryggleika millum starvsfólkini um, hvat ið framtíðin hevur at bjóða, tá ið landið einaferð hevur slept endanum. |
That the political system was working to privatize Posta was not unexpected, but that it was exactly this coalition with the Social Democratic Party and the Republic that would get it through came as somewhat of a surprise. There is no doubt that Framsókn has needed to mark itself as a liberal party, and that Posta has... | BLARK_translated | At politiska skipanin arbeiddi við at einskilja Posta, var ikki óvæntað, men at tað júst var henda samgongan við Javnaðarflokkinum og Tjóðveldi, sum skuldi fáa hetta ígjøgnum, kom heldur óvart á. Eingin ivi er um, at Framsókn hevur havt tørv á at markera seg sum liberalan flokk, og at Posta hevur verið partur í eini st... |
In 2017 the average number of full-time employees at Posta was 115 people. Most of the employees who work in the bargaining area are members of the Employees’ Association. | BLARK_translated | Í 2017 varð meðaltalið av fulltíðarsettum starvsfólki á Posta 115 fólk. Nógv tey flestu starvsfólkini, sum starvast í sáttmálaøkinum, eru limir í Starvsmannafelagnum. |
As the only trade union with a collective agreement for Posta, the Staff Association will of course follow the matter when the sale process begins. We have at all times a close connection with the members and the union representation system at Posta. | BLARK_translated | Sum einasta fakfelag við kollektivum sáttmála fyri Posta fer Starvsmannafelagið sjálvandi at fylgja málinum, tá ið farið verður undir sølutilgongdina. Vit hava alla tíðina tætt samband við limirnar og álitisfólkaskipanina á Posta. |
Cooperation among the six trade unions with agreements in the public labour market resumed in several areas in 2018. | BLARK_translated | Samstarv millum tey seks fakfeløgini við sáttmálum á almenna arbeiðsmarknaðinum var aftur á fleiri økjum í 2018. |
The members of the associations have regular meetings, and the same applies to the office staff of the associations. At these meetings we address issues of common interest and discuss joint initiatives. | BLARK_translated | Forfólkini í feløgunum hava regluligar fundir, og tað sama er galdandi fyri skrivstovufólkini í feløgunum. Á hesum fundi viðgera vit mál, sum hava felags áhuga, og umrøða felags átøk. |
As discussed elsewhere in the paper, a joint meeting was arranged for board members in Smæran, and this winter Ann Ellingsgaard was appointed coordinator for the Trade Union Cooperation. The Staff Association is pleased that a coordinator has been appointed, after there had been none for more than a year. The coordinat... | BLARK_translated | Sum umrøtt aðrastaðni í blaðnum varð skipað fyri felags fundi fyri nevndarlimir í Smæruni, og í vetur varð Ann Ellingsgaard sett sum samskipari fyri Fakfelagssamstarvi. Starvsmannafelagið fegnast um, at samskipari er settur, eftir at eingin hevur verið í meira enn eitt ár. Samskiparin hevur ein týðandi leiklut, um vit ... |
The organizations in the Trade Union Cooperation are the Association of Faroese Nurses, the Civil Servants' Association, the Faroese Teachers' Association, the Academic Association of the Faroe Islands, | BLARK_translated | Feløgini í Fakfelagssamstarvinum eru Felagið Føroyskir Sjúkrarøktarfrøðingar, Starvsmannafelagið, Føroya Pedagogfelag, Akademikarafelag Føroya, |
In June last year I was informed that the flight attendants at Atlantic Airways were exploring the possibility of leaving the Staff Association. The reason was that they were considering obtaining membership in the Danish union FPU (Flybranchens Personale Union) instead. In August the association then learned that the ... | BLARK_translated | Í juni mánað í fjør varð eg kunnaður um, at flogternurnar hjá Atlantic Airways kannaðu møguleikarnar fyri at fara úr Starvsmannafelagnum. Orsøkin var, at tær umhugsaðu at fáa limaskap í danska fakfelagnum FPU (Flybranchens Personale Union) í staðin. Í august fekk felagið so at vita, at flogternurnar vildu tekna seg sum... |
Therefore the Pilots' Association decided to extend the agreement as a membership agreement, i.e. a collective agreement that is binding only for flight attendants who are members. | BLARK_translated | Tískil valdi Starvsmannafelagið at leingja sáttmálan sum ein limasáttmála, t.v.s. ein kollektivan sáttmála, sum einans er bindandi fyri flogternur, ið eru limir |
It quickly became clear that it was not going to be so easy for the flight attendants to get a new agreement through FPU. The Faroese Employers' Association and Atlantic Airways each separately agreed that they would not negotiate with a foreign trade union. Since then they have received unconditional support from Poul... | BLARK_translated | Tað gjørdist skjótt greitt, at tað ikki fór at gerast so lætt hjá flogternunum at fáa nýggjan sáttmála gjøgnum FPU. Føroya Arbeiðsgevarafelag og Atlantic Airways samtyktu hvør í sínum lagi, at tey ikki fóru at samráðast við eitt útlendskt fakfelag. Síðani hava tey fingið treytaleysan stuðul frá Poul Michelsen, landsstý... |
to be in an area with no members, or, more famously, that the union withdraws completely. The Civil Servants' Union has told the flight attendants that if they want to return to the union, the door is open. | BLARK_translated | at vera á einum øki við ongum limum, ella um frægast er, at felagið tekur seg heilt úr. Starvsmannafelagið hevur sagt flogternunum frá, at vilja tær koma aftur í felagið, so stendur hurðin opin. |
2018 was a tumultuous year in the Faroese labor market. A year of strikes and disputes that we have rarely experienced before. | BLARK_translated | 2018 var eitt buldrasligt ár á føroyska arbeiðsmarknaðinum. Eitt ár við verkføllum og rembingum, sum vit sjáldan hava upplivað fyrr. |
But since most collective agreements in the public labour market expired in October 2017, we have been hit by several strikes. In particular, we remember the strikes by the Association of Faroese Nurses, the Faroese Teachers’ Union and the Midwives’ Association of the Faroe Islands. | BLARK_translated | Men síðan flestu sáttmálar á almenna arbeiðsmarknaðinum gingu út í oktober 2017, hava vit verið rakt av fleiri verkføllum. Serliga minnast vit verkføllini hjá Felagnum Føroyskir Sjúkrarøktarfrøðingar, Føroya Pedagogfelag og Ljósmøðrafelag Føroya. |
A strike is never well liked, and during a strike it is not uncommon for trade unions and employees to be put under pressure. | BLARK_translated | Eitt verkfall er ongantíð væl dámt, og í verkfalsstøðuni er ikki óvanligt, at fakfeløg og starvsfólk verða løgd undir |
In this situation we can be glad that we have union leaders who had ice in their stomachs (were cool-headed), and who did not give in to the pressure and intimidation tactics. | BLARK_translated | Í hesi støðu kunnu vit fegnast um, at vit hava verkfalsleiðarar, sum høvdu ís í búkinum, og sum ikki góvu eftir fyri trýstinum og ræðingartaktikkinum. |
One thing is to make contracts, but the contracts must also be managed and implemented in practice. | BLARK_translated | Eitt er at gera sáttmálar, men sáttmálarnir skulu eisini umsitast og útinnast í verki. |
The reality that the payroll department in the Ministry of Finance is constantly occupied with contract negotiations also means that staff have little time and energy to take care of ordinary payroll matters. This causes disputes over pay and contract interpretations to drag on, and staff often have to live in uncertai... | BLARK_translated | Tann sannroynd, at lønardeildin í Fíggjarmálaráðnum støðugt er upptikin av sáttmálasamráðingum, ger eisini, at starvsfólkini hava lítla tíð og orku at taka sær av vanligum lønarmálum. Hetta ger, at ósemjur um løn og sáttmálatulkingar draga út, og at starvsfólk ofta mugu liva í óvissu um síni viðurskifti í órímiliga lan... |
But who is responsible for it moving so slowly? The trade unions? The Ministry of Finance? The system? | BLARK_translated | Men hvør hevur ábyrgdina av, at tað gongur so seint. Fakfeløgini? Fíggjarmálaráðið? Skipanin? |
It's probably a bit of each, but as long as the system is as it is, the Ministry of Finance has the main responsibility. | BLARK_translated | Helst er tað eitt sindur av hvørjum, men so leingi sum skipanin er, sum hon er, hevur Fíggjarmálaráðið høvuðsábyrgdina. |
I am convinced that one of the main problems is that the workforce in the Finance Ministry’s payroll department is too small. There are four people employed there. That is all. These people have to take care of all the collective bargaining negotiations, personal salary matters, and everything that the agreement says m... | BLARK_translated | Eg eri sannførdur um, at ein av høvuðstrupulleikunum er, at arbeiðsorkan á lønardeildini hjá Fíggjarmálaráðnum er ov lítil. Har eru fýra fólk í starvi. Tað er alt. Hesi fólk skulu taka sær av øllum sáttmálasamráðingunum, persónligu lønarmálunum og øllum tí, sum sáttmálin sigur skal setast í verk. |
At the moment I cannot see that the trade unions are inclined to enter into joint collective-bargaining negotiations on a common wage framework until a new public pay system has been created. And I expect that the biggest challenge will be whether the parties, employers and the trade unions, can agree on what the wage ... | BLARK_translated | Í løtuni dugi eg ikki at síggja, at fakfeløgini eru sinnað at fara undir felags sáttmálasamráðingar um ein felags lønarkarm, fyrr enn ein nýggj almenn lønarskipan er gjørd. Og eg vænti, at størsta avbjóðingin verður, hvørt partarnir, arbeiðsgevari og fakfeløg, kunnu semjast um, hvussu lønarlagið í føroyska samfelagnum ... |
If there is no trust between the parties, we will get nowhere, because trust benefits us all: employees, employers, the contracting parties and society as a whole. | BLARK_translated | Er álit ikki millum partarnar, koma vit ongan veg fram á leið, tí álit gagnar okkum øllum, lønmóttakara, arbeiðsgevara, sáttmálapørtunum og samfelagnum øllum. |
On two occasions recently, members of the civil servants' union have been appointed interim directors at two of the country's most important institutions. | BLARK_translated | Í tveimum umførum seinastu tíðina eru starvsmannafelagslimir settir fyribilsstjórar á tveimum av landsins týdningarmestu stovnum. |
In this connection we should also mention that Karin Elisa Niclassen in 2018 took over as deputy director at Taks. Karin Elisa has also been a member of the Staff Association for many years before she took on this responsibility as deputy director at Taks. | BLARK_translated | Í hesum sambandi skulu vit eisini nevna, at Karin Elisa Niclassen í 2018 tók við sum varastjóri á Taks. Karin Elisa hevur eisini verið limur í Starvsmannafelagnum í mong ár, áðrenn hon tók við hesum ábyrgdarstarvi sum varastjóri á Taks. |
The temporary appointments of directors at Suðuroy Hospital and at Kringvarp Føroya entailed certain challenges regarding the salaries. The acting directors received director’s pay, but there was disagreement about whether their pension should be calculated based on the director’s pay or on their regular contract salar... | BLARK_translated | Fyribils setanirnar av stjórum á Suðuroyar Sjúkrahúsi og í Kringvarpi Føroya høvdu við sær ávísar avbjóðingar viðvíkjandi lønini. Virkandi stjórarnir fingu stjóraløn, men ósemja var um, hvørt teir skuldu fáa eftirløn roknað eftir stjóralønini ella eftir síni vanligu sáttmálaløn. Eftir nakað av togan aftur og fram fekst... |
Managers have the authority to make appointments and to lead, and they are not members of the Employees’ Association. However, we allow interim managers to be members, because they only perform the role for a temporary period and return to their former position after some time. | BLARK_translated | Stjórar hava setanar- og leiðslurheimild og eru ikki limir í Starvsmannafelagnum. Tó loyva vit fyribilsstjórum at vera limir, tí teir røkja bert starvið í eitt fyribils tíðarskeið og koma aftur í sítt gamla starv eftir eina tíð. |
At a meeting of the Ministry of Culture on Constitution Day, 5 June 2018, Rigmor Dam, then minister, was presented with a report on adult education and the labour market department. | BLARK_translated | Á fundi í Mentamálaráðnum grundlógardagin 5. juni 2018 fekk Rigmor Dam, táverandi landsstýriskvinna, álit um vaksnamannaútbúgving og arbeiðsmarknaðardepil handað. |
The work is carried out based on the sentence in the coalition document, “that steps must be taken to prepare for establishing adult education. Necessary elements in such a system are lifelong guidance and skills assessment as well as various forms of skills development and further training.” | BLARK_translated | Arbeiðið er gjørt út frá setninginum í samgonguskjalinum, ”at farast skal í holt við at fyrireika at seta á stovn vaksnamannaútbúgving. Neyðugir tættir í eini tílíkari skipan eru lívlong vegleiðing og førleikameting eins og ymisk sløg av førleikamenning og eftirútbúgving”. |
In the countries around us, organized adult education has been tried with good results for many years. In these countries, adults with no (formal) education have had special arrangements that make it easier and more appropriate for them to obtain an education as adults. | BLARK_translated | Í londunum kring okkum hevur skipað vaksnamannaútbúgving verið roynd við góðum úrsliti í mong ár. Í hesum londum hava vaksnir persónar við ongari útbúgving havt serligar skipanir, ið gera tað lættari og høgligari hjá teimum at fáa sær eina útbúgving sum vaksin. |
Education and skills development are of great importance for people's opportunities to take part in the labor market and in social activities generally, and they are also of great significance for the competitiveness of industry. | BLARK_translated | Útbúgving og førleikamenning eru av stórum týdningi fyri møguleikarnar hjá fólki at taka lut á arbeiðsmarknaðinum og í samfelagsligum virksemi annars, og tey hava eisini stóran týdning fyri kappingarførið hjá vinnuni. |
Those are the kinds of arrangements that will also be tried to be introduced in the Faroe Islands. | BLARK_translated | Tað er slíkar skipanir, roynt verður at fáa í Føroyum eisini. |
The report describes the situation regarding adult education. It also formulates several recommendations on how we can simply organize and coordinate educational offerings for adults and newly arrived Faroese people to obtain a qualification or to become proficient. | BLARK_translated | Álitið lýsir støðuna viðvíkjandi vaksnamannaútbúgving. Harumframt eru orðað fleiri tilmælir um, hvussu vit á einfaldan hátt kunnu skipa og samskipa útbúgvingartilboðini hjá vaksnum og tilkomnum føroyingum at taka eina útbúgving ella at verða førleikament. |
All this work is intended to take place in a tripartite cooperation between the political authorities and the parties in the labour market, including the trade unions. | BLARK_translated | Alt hetta arbeiðið er hugsað at fara fram í einum trípartasamstarvi millum politiska myndugleikan og partarnar á arbeiðsmarknaðinum, m.a. fakfeløgini. |
Another event in this context took place in September, when the first 14 people received certificates as competency assessors. This was done based on the 2014 Competence Assessment Act, which is the first stage when it comes to adult education and competence development. | BLARK_translated | Ein onnur hending í hesum sambandi var í september, tá ið tey fyrstu 14 fólkini fingu prógv sum førleikametarar. Hetta varð gjørdi við støði í lógini um førleikameting frá 2014, sum er fyrsta stigið, tá ið talan er um vaksnamannaútbúgving og førleikamenning. |
The Vocational Unit at the Ministry of Culture organized the course on competency assessment, which was for staff within various educational and vocational fields. The Vocational Unit administers the area of competency assessment, and the course took place on September 17–19. | BLARK_translated | Yrkisdepilin í Mentamálaráðnum skipaði fyri skeiðnum í førleikameting, sum var fyri starvsfólk innan ymiskar útbúgvingar- og yrkisgreinir. Yrkisdepilin umsitur málsøkið førleikameting, og skeiðið var dagarnar 17.–19. september. |
After the first course in September, the plan was to start competency assessment for office training and food training. The 14 who received training as competency assessors in September can now take on assessing adults who are 25 years and older. | BLARK_translated | Eftir fyrsta skeiðið í september var ætlanin at fara undir at førleikameta innan skrivstovuútbúgvingar og matvøruútbúgvingar. Tey 14, sum fingu útbúgving sum førleikametarar í september, kunnu nú átaka sær at førleikameta vaksin, sum eru 25 ár og eldri. |
At the union members’ meeting of the Civil Servants’ Association on November 29 last year, John Dalsgarð, coordinator at the Vocational Education Council, explained the purpose of the skills assessment and the procedures followed when the skills assessment is carried out. John Dalsgarð was one of the 14 who received ce... | BLARK_translated | Á álitisfólkafundi í Starvsmannafelagnum 29. november í fjør greiddi John Dalsgarð, samskipari í Yrkisútbúgvingarráðnum, frá endamálinum við førleikametingini og mannagongdini, tá ið førleikametingini verður gjørd. John Dalsgarð var ein av teimum 14, sum seinasta heyst fingu prógv sum førleikametarar. |
He explained that they will begin by collecting the relevant documentation (certificates, confirmations, references, material about work experience, etc.) into a file folder. This will be used as the basis for the skills assessment process. After this there will be an interview with a counselor. | BLARK_translated | Hann greiddi frá, at byrjað verður at savna saman viðkomandi skjalatilfar (prógv, váttanir, viðmæli, tilfar um arbeiðsroyndir v.m.) í eina skjalamappu. Hetta verður nýtt sum grundarlagið í førleikametingartilgongdini. Eftir hetta verður samrøða við vegleiðara |
After that, an assessment of skills will be carried out by professionals and a counselor, and a concrete plan will be made for how the goal will be achieved in a relevant education/training program. | BLARK_translated | Síðani verður førleikameting framd av fakfólki og vegleiðara, og ítøkilig ætlan verður gjørd fyri, hvussu málið verður rokkið í eini viðkomandi útbúgving. |
Silvija Seres believes that there are three main issues that will be important: efficiency improvements, new business opportunities, and taking social responsibility. | BLARK_translated | Silvija Seres heldur, at tað eru trý høvuðsmál, ið fara at hava týdning: Effektivisering, nýggir vinnumøguleikar og tað at taka samfelagsábyrgd. |
She points out that the knowledge the future requires will be decisive, and that education will become more important than high pay. Knowledge will be at the center. | BLARK_translated | Hon vísir á, at kunnleiki, sum framtíðin krevur, verður avgerandi, og at útbúgving fer at hava størri týdning enn høg løn. Vitan verður í miðdeplinum. |
Major changes are going to happen, and the ability to adapt and dare to look ahead will be decisive. And rather than arguing about how we can preserve the old jobs, we should use our energy to put our mark on how the future can be created. The labor market as well. | BLARK_translated | Stórar broytingar fara at henda, og evnini at umstilla seg og tora at hyggja fram verða avgerandi. Og heldur enn at tvíhalda um, hvussu vit kunnu varðveita tey gomlu størvini, skulu vit brúka kreftirnar at seta okkara fingramerki á, hvussu framtíðin kann skapast. Eisini arbeiðsmarknaðurin. |
It's about creating the jobs we will live off, and not defending the jobs we know today, she says. | BLARK_translated | Tað snýr seg um at skapa størvini, vit skulu liva av, og ikki verja tey størvini, vit kenna í dag, sigur hon. |
The leadership models we use today were developed in the 3rd industrial revolution, which was in the 1960s. But these solutions are no longer satisfactory. There is a need for new business models. And not least for leaders to take risks. No one knows the future, but it is about daring to assess it nonetheless. | BLARK_translated | Leiðslumodellini, vit brúka í dag, eru ment í 3. ídnaðarkollveltingini, sum var í 60-unum. Men hesar loysnir eru ikki nøktandi longur. Tørvur er á nýggjum forrætningsmodellum. Og ikki minst at leiðarar taka kjansir. Eingin kennir framtíðina, men tað ræður um at tora at meta um hana kortini. |
There are examples of good plans in the digital world going to waste because the companies failed to adapt and anticipate, Seres explains. | BLARK_translated | Dømir eru um, at góðar ætlanir í talgilda heiminum eru farnar fyri skeytið, tí at fyritøkurnar ikki hava dugað at umstillað seg og sæð fram, greiðir Seres frá. |
It is about knowing where the ball is going, not where the ball is right now. Those who can see ahead will be the ones who win the competition, the message says. | BLARK_translated | Tað snýr seg um at vita, hvagar bólturin fer, og ikki, hvar ið bólturin liggur beint nú. Tey, sum duga at síggja fram, verða tey, sum fara at vinna kappingina, ljóðar boðskapurin. |
According to Silviju Seres, it will also be very important that we as citizens, users and employees know how to protect our personal data. Because personal data is the gold of the digital world. | BLARK_translated | Sambært Silviju Seres fer tað eisini at hava stóran týdning, at vit sum borgarar, brúkarar og starvsfólk duga at verja okkara persónligu dátur. Tí persónsdátur eru gullið í talgilda heiminum. |
That is why data security is so important. We must take care of our data, which companies live off. If we do not take care of it, companies will come to own our future. These are ethical and political questions that we must address politically and locally, she says. | BLARK_translated | Tí er dátutrygdin so týdningarmikil. Vit mugu ansa eftir okkara dátum, sum fyritøkurnar liva av. Ansa vit ikki eftir, koma fyritøkurnar at eiga okkara framtíð. Hetta eru etiskir og politiskir spurningar, sum vit mugu viðgera politiskt og lokalt, sigur hon. |
Data are the new raw material today, and we as citizens must take very good care of it. | BLARK_translated | Dátu eru tann nýggja rávøran í dag, og henni eiga vit sum borgarar at ansa sera væl eftir. |
One of the major challenges is that the digital world is being split apart — polarized — into a few large and powerful companies, Seres points out. | BLARK_translated | Ein av stóru avbjóðingunum er, at talgildi heimurin verður lutaður sundur – polariseraður – í fáar stórar og sterkar fyritøkur, vísir Seres á. |
And development is happening so fast that there are only a few companies that manage to keep up and develop quickly enough, says Seres, who believes that it is difficult to give any definitive message about exactly which strategy is the most sensible and correct to choose when it comes to the digital future. | BLARK_translated | Og menningin gongur so skjótt, at tað eru bert fáar fyritøkur, sum megna at fylgja við og mennast nóg skjótt, sigur Seres, sum heldur, at tað er trupult at koma við nøkrum avgjørdum boði um, júst hvør strategi er skilabest og rættast at kjósa sær, tá ið um ræður talgildu framtíðina: |
There are no perfect answers. Everything will continue to happen quickly, and it’s about taking chances. Those who dare to guess and assess what the future will be like are also the ones who, to the greatest extent, will shape the future, predicts Seres. | BLARK_translated | Tað finnast eingi fullkomin svar. Alt fer framvegis at henda skjótt, og tað snýr seg um at taka kjansir. Tey, sum tora at gita og meta um, hvussu framtíðin fer at vera, verða eisini tey, sum í størstan mun fara at mynda framtíðina, spáar Seres. |
Being against digitalization is like being against aging or the law of gravity. Digitalization is coming nonetheless, and the best thing you can do is prepare yourself as bravely as possible. | BLARK_translated | At vera ímóti talgilding er sum at vera ímóti aldurdómi ella tyngdarlógini. Talgildingin kemur kortini, og tað besta, tú kanst gera, er at fyrireika teg sum frægast. |
The presentation was given by Bodil Otto, trade union chairperson of HK-Kommunal, and Mathias Askholm, program manager in a special unit within HK that has been named HK Lab. A unit with a very special mission. | BLARK_translated | Framløguna høvdu Bodil Otto, fakfelagsformaður í HK-komunal, og Mathias Askholm, programmleiðari í eini serligari eind í HK, sum hevur fingið navni HK Lab. Ein eind við eini heilt serligari missión. |
This is about creating the trade union movement of the future. Creating the workplaces of the future. It's about innovation and entrepreneurship, says Askholm. | BLARK_translated | Hetta snýr seg um at skapa framtíðarinnar fakfelagsrørslu. Skapa framtíðarinnar arbeiðspláss. Tað snýr seg um nýskapan og íverksetan, sigur Askholm. |
Her daily work is to predict the future and assess what changes will occur in working life. | BLARK_translated | Dagliga arbeiði hennara er at spáa um framtíðina og meta um, hvørjar broytingar fara at henda í arbeiðslívinum. |
Enarsson reports that researchers once calculated that 47% of all jobs in the world would disappear because of automation. That was what the research showed. Afterwards the estimates became somewhat more cautious. But the prediction was wrong. | BLARK_translated | Enarsson greiðir frá, at einaferð roknaðu granskarar við, at 47% av øllum størvum í heiminum fóru at hvørva av automatiseringini. Tað vísti granskingin. Síðani blivu metingarar nakað varligari. Men spádómurin var skeivur. |
In reality the jobs don’t disappear. They also don’t decrease in number. But they change. New jobs replace the old ones. That has long been a proven fact. And that is the challenge. | BLARK_translated | Í veruleikanum hvørva størvini ikki. Tey minka heldur ikki í tali. Men tey broytast. Nýggj størv koma fyri tey gomlu. Tað hevur leingi verið ein sannroynd. Og tað er avbjóðingin. |
"65% of the young people who are attending school today will, when they become adults, have jobs that do not exist today," Enarsson's prediction sounded. | BLARK_translated | 65% av ungfólkunum, sum ganga í skúla í dag, fara, tá ið tey verða vaksin, at hava størv, sum ikki finnast í dag, ljóðaði spádómurin hjá Enarsson. |
According to Enarsson, lifelong learning is one of the key words when we are to face the digital future. | BLARK_translated | Sambært Enarsson er lívlong læra eitt av lyklaorðunum, tá ið vit skulu møta talgildu framtíðini. |
She shows a picture of a camel, where the hump on its back symbolizes the learning that we carry with us into the labor market. It can be a | BLARK_translated | Hon vísir eina mynd av einum kameli, har kúlan á bakinum ímyndar lærdómin, sum vit hava við okkum út á arbeiðsmarknaðin. Tað kann vera ein |
But the future requires a different and more flexible education system, Einarsson says. A system where we continually acquire new knowledge. | BLARK_translated | Men framtíðin krevur eina øðrvísi og liðiligari útbúgvingarskipan, heldur Einarsson. Eina skipan, har vit støðugt ogna okkum nýggja vitan. |
Data is the big gold. but reskilling is the new oil, Enarsson renders an English idiom. And he predicts that the ability to acquire new knowledge and to adapt will have great importance in the future labor market. | BLARK_translated | Data is the big gold. but reskilling is the new oil, endurgevur Enarsson eitt enskt orðafelli. Og spáar, at evnini at ogna sær nýggja vitan og at umstilla seg fara at hava stóran týdning á framtíðar arbeiðsmarknaðinum. |
However, she warns that the problem is that the education systems do not work as they should. | BLARK_translated | Trupulleikin er hinvegin, at útbúgvingarskipanirnar virka ikki, sum tær skulu, ávarar hon. |
Therefore the education system must be changed. We must find new and different ways to learn. Different educations and courses, says Enarsson. | BLARK_translated | Tí má útbúgvingarskipanin broytast. Vit mugu finna nýggjar og øðrvísi hættir at læra. Øðrvísi útbúgvingar og skeið, sigur Enarsson. |
It doesn't matter whether we get our education at prestigious universities or from YouTube courses. The opportunities are many and varied. What matters is educating ourselves, and we should be open to new ways of learning. Exactly where we acquire knowledge is not decisive. It is what we learn that counts. The content ... | BLARK_translated | Tað er ikki umráðandi, um vit taka útbúgvingarnar á fínum universitetum, ella um tað er av skeiðum á youtube. Møguleikarnir eru nógvir og ymiskir. Tað ræður um at útbúgva seg, og vit skulu vera opin fyri nýggjum háttum at læra. Júst hvar vit nema okkum kunnleika, er ikki avgerandi. Tað er, hvat vit læra, sum hevur týdn... |
Human skills! According to Enarsson, it will not be subjects like programming and digitization that will be at the top of the timetable in future schools. On the contrary, it will be ordinary basic human skills. Skills that robots will never take over. Those are the ones that will be in demand. | BLARK_translated | Menniskjaligir førleikar! Sambært Enarsson eru tað ikki fak sum programmering og talgilding, sum fara at standa ovast á tímatalvuni í framtíðarskúlum. Tvørturímóti verða tað vanligir grundleggjandi menniskjansligir førleikar. Førleikar, sum robottarnir ongantíð fara at yvirtaka. Tað er hesum, spurt fer at verða eftir. |
These will be skills such as innovation and creativity. They will be social skills, such as the ability to show empathy and care, the ability to persuade others and to communicate and consult. Human skills that we learn even before we go to school, she says. | BLARK_translated | Tað verða førleikar sum nýhugsan og kreativitetur. Tað verða sosialir førleikar, so sum evnini at hava medkenslu og umsorgan, evnini at sannføra onnur og at samskifta og samráðast. Menniskjansligir førleikar, sum vit læra, longu áðrenn vit fara í skúla, sigur hon. |
All of these are skills and traits that are human, and that robots will never take over. There will always be a need for us humans, and it is skills like these that we should focus on in the future. | BLARK_translated | Alt hetta eru førleikar og eginleikar, sum eru menniskjansligir, og sum robottarnir ongantíð fara at yvirtaka. Tað verður altíð brúk fyri okkum menniskjum, og tað er førleikum sum hesum, vit í framtíðini skulu hugsavna okkum um. |
Therefore, according to Enarsson, we must not forget fundamental subjects in school such as handicrafts and woodworking. Because they provide basic creative skills that we can later make use of in the digital world. | BLARK_translated | Tískil mugu vit, sambært Enarsson, ikki gloyma grundleggjandi fak í skúlanum sum handarbeiði og træsmíð. Tí tað gevur grundleggjandi skapandi førleikar, sum vit seinni kunnu fáa brúk fyri í talgilda heiminum. |
When the little boy, who had very reluctantly reached school age, had thought it over carefully, he answered: | BLARK_translated | Tá ið tann lítli drongurin, sum nóg illa var komin í skúlaaldur, hevði hugsað seg væl um, svaraði hann: |
No, Grandpa, when I grow up, I will be a crocodile. | BLARK_translated | Nei, abbi, tá ið eg verði stórur, skal eg vera ein firvaldur. |
“And that wasn’t at all wrong,” Enarsson said. “Because in the future labor market it will precisely be extremely valuable to be able to break free from terrestrial ties and take flight occasionally. Being able to think differently, because good imagination will be an asset.” | BLARK_translated | Og tað var nú slett ikki so býtt, heldur Enarsson. Tí á framtíðar arbeiðsmarknaðinum fer tað júst at verða ógvuliga virðismikið at duga at sleppa jarðarsambandinum og fara á flog viðhvørt. Duga at hugsa øðrvísi, tí gott hugflog verður eitt aktiv. |
It’s about having imagination and thinking anew. Robots will never be able to do that for us, she says, and shows us a picture of the little boy with a dragonfly on his nose. | BLARK_translated | Tað snýr seg um hava hugflog og at hugsa nýtt. Tað fara robottarnir ongantíð at kunna gera fyri okkum, sigur hon og vísir okkum eina mynd av smádronginum við einum firvaldi á nøsini. |
