Heini í Skorini thinks that we still have not reached the goal. But when will we? | BLARK_translated | Heini í Skorini meinar, at vit eru enn ikki komin á mál. Men nær eru vit tað? |
It was then that the crowd waved flags and rejoiced; not for their nation, but for sexuality. It was then that the crowd “booed” the innocent, Russian songbirds, and applauded the bearded lady in the long red dress. | BLARK_translated | Tað var tá, fjøldin flaggaði og fagnaðist; ikki fyri tjóð sínari, men fyri seksualitetinum. Tað var tá, fjøldin "boo-aði" fyri óseku, russisku sangfuglunum, og klappaðu fyri skeggadamuni í tí langa, reyða kjólanum. |
The woman and the man were married in 1986. When the man comes home he lies down right on the sofa to sleep, as if nothing happened, so it seems that he has slept there before, and that they have had some problems before. | BLARK_translated | Konan og maðurin vóru gift í 1986. Tá maðurin kemur heim leggur hann seg beint i sofuna at sova, sum var einki hent, so tað tykist, sum hann hevur sovið har fyrr, og at tey hava havt onkrar trupulleikar fyrr. |
I once asked my leader and his wife, who are an exemplary couple, what the most important thing in a marriage was. They said it was extremely important to continue to respect each other. The people in this story do not respect each other. The wife does not want to be with the husband; she thinks everything he does and ... | BLARK_translated | Eg spurdi einaferð leiðaran hjá mær og konuna, sum eru eini fyrimyndarlig hjún, hvat tað týdningarmesta var í einum hjúnarbandið. Tey søgdu, at tað var ógvuliga týdningarmikið at blíva við at virða hvønn annan. Fólkini í hesi søguni virða ikki hvønn annan. Konan vil ikki vera saman við manninum, hon heldur at alt, sum ... |
The author had her first child when she was 18 years old. They had three children and did everything to avoid doing the same as her parents had done, who became divorced. Unfortunately, that did not succeed, and she was very sad about it. Divorce has been a topic she has thought a lot about, and she has written extensi... | BLARK_translated | Rithøvundurin fekk sítt fyrsta barn, sum 18 ára gomul. Tey fingu trý børn og gjørdu alt fyri, at ikki gera tað sama sum foreldur hennara høvdu gjørt, sum blivu skild. Tað eydnaðist tíverri ikki, og tað var hon ógvuliga kedd av. Skildsmissa hevur verið eitt evni, sum hon hevur hugsað nógv um, og hon hevur skrivað nógv u... |
Registered partnership for two people of the same sex is one of the hottest and most topical issues both in the Faroe Islands and in the world at large; it is a subject that truly causes Faroese people to make their opinions heard. The marriage law represents more than just the expected rights of a minority; it has bec... | BLARK_translated | Skrásett parlag fyri tvey av sama kyni er eitt tað heitasta og mest aktuella evni bæði í Føroyum og í heimshøpi; talan er um eitt evni, sum av álvara fær føroyingar at gera vart við sína hugsan. Hjúnabandslógin ímyndar meira enn bert væntandi rættindi hjá einum minniluta; hon er vorðin ein ímynd av uppgerðini við tað k... |
In the opinion piece Heini addresses a recommendation that Rúni Rasmussen sent to members of the parliament regarding a proposal to change the marriage law. Rúni argues that a change in the marriage law would undermine the institution of marriage and urges the parliamentarians to support and defend this institution. Ac... | BLARK_translated | Í tíðargreinini viðger Heini eitt tilmælið, sum Rúni Rasmussen sendi løgtingslimum viðvíkjandi uppskoti um at broyta hjúnabandslógina. Rúni meinar, at ein broyting í hjúnabandslógini ørkymlar fatatnina av hjúnabandinum sum instutitión og heitir á løgtingslimir um at stuðla og verja hesa instutitión. Sambært Heina snýr ... |
Does it affect the marriage of the unknown if two people of the same sex go to the municipal office to get paperwork proving their relationship? | BLARK_translated | Ávirkar tað hjúnabandið hjá hinskyndum, um tvey av sama kyni fara á kommunukontórið at fáa pappír uppá hvønn annan? |
One of the main reasons is that religion occupies an immense amount of space in the Faroese political realm. Nowhere else in the Western world is the Bible used in the same way as here at home — members of parliament stand on the national podium, shout loudly about God, and put forward Old Testament rules. | BLARK_translated | Ein av høvuðsorsøkunum er tann, at átrúnaður fyllir ómetaliga nógv í føroyska politiska rúminum. Ongastaðni í Vesturheiminum verður Bíblian nýtt á sama hátt sum her heima - tingmenn standa á landsins røðarapalli, rópa hart um Gud og bera fram gamaltestamentligar reglur. |
If a society is built on a particular creed, not all citizens have neutral conditions, and thereby the rights of minorities — in this case homosexuals — are not protected. | BLARK_translated | Um eitt samfelag byggir á ein ávísan átrúnað, hava allir borgarar ikki neutralar karmar, og harvið verða rættindini hjá minnilutum - í hesum førið samkyndum - ikki vard. |
Moreover, religion and politics are two very different phenomena in existence. Politics is a public phenomenon, while religion concerns the private and personal; thus we are dealing with two spheres each with its own task, and therefore I believe that these phenomena ought to be distinguished. | BLARK_translated | Harafturat er átrúnaður og politikkur tvey so ólík fyribrygdi í tilveruni. Politikkur er eitt alment fyribrygdi, meðan átrúnaður hevur við tað privata og persónliga; talan er so statt um tvey øki við hvør sínari uppgávu, og tí meini eg, at hesi fyribrygdi eiga at verða sundurskild. |
He firmly maintains this without in any way pointing to examples that it has happened anywhere that same-sex couples have had this legal right for years. | BLARK_translated | Hetta stendur hann fast uppá uttan á nakran hátt at vísa á dømi um, at tað er hent nakrastaðni, har samkynd hava havt henda lógliga rætt í áravís. |
Heini rejects all slippery-slope reasoning and substantiates by saying that "slippery-slope logic can in practice be used against any and every political viewpoint. (...) There is no logical connection between one separate proposal and another separate proposal" - p. 116, 138 | BLARK_translated | Heini afturvísur allan glíðibreytaróttan og grundgevur við, at "glíðibreytar-logikkurin kann í roynd og veru brúkast móti einum og hvørjum politiskum sjónarmiði. (.) Tað er eingin logiskur samanhangur millum eitt separat uppskot og eitt annað separat uppskot" - r. 116, 138 |
Society is changing quickly in our time. Values and norms that a few years ago seemed natural may today seem completely gone — and also the opposite. | BLARK_translated | Samfelagið broytist skjótt í okkara tíð. Virðir og normar, sum fyri fáum árum sýndist natúrligir, kunnu í dag sýnast fullkomliga burturvið - og eisini øvugt. |
Now that the 50th anniversary celebration has passed, the annual general meeting is coming up. | BLARK_translated | Nú 50 ára hátíðarárið er farið aftur um bak, er árligi aðalfundurin fyri framman. |
2011 was in many ways a memorable and eventful year, both in national politics and in trade union politics. | BLARK_translated | 2011 var á mangan hátt eitt minniligt og hendingarríkt ár, bæði landspolitiskt og fakfelagspolitiskt. |
In November there was an election and a new coalition was formed. The trade union movement, and many others, fought against that serious and unkind plan to tax our pensions with a contribution — this to finance a flat tax system. | BLARK_translated | Í november var val og nýggj samgonga varð skipað. Fakfelagsrørslan, og mong onnur, stríddust móti tí álvarsomu og óunniligu ætlan at skatta okkara eftirlønir við inngjaldi - hetta fyri at fíggja eina flatskattaskipan. |
A system that increases social inequality between income groups in the country, and at the same time means that pensions will henceforth decrease in value, because they are now taxed at 40 percent from the first króna. This, in the world’s most expensive country, where the only right thing is to give the ordinary wage ... | BLARK_translated | Ein skipan, ið økir um sosiala ójavnan millum inntøkubólkar í landinum, og samstundis hevur við sær, at eftirlønin framyvir minkar í virði, tí hon nú verður skattað við 40 prosentum frá fyrstu krónu. Hetta, í heimsins dýrasta landi, har einasta rætta er at veita vanliga løntakaranum ein lætta í hart spenta gerandisdegn... |
Distribution policy is the responsibility of the parliament. When the negotiations were resumed this winter, the only, and non-negotiable, demand from the new finance minister was that the outcome of the wage negotiations should reflect the new flat tax system. This differentiation should therefore be included directly... | BLARK_translated | Fordeilingspolitikkur er ábyrgd løgtingsins. Tá samráðingarnar vórðu tiknar uppaftur í vetur, var einasta, og ófrávíkiliga, kravið frá nýggja fíggjarmálaráðharranum, at úrslitið av lønarsamráðingunum skuldi avspegla nýggju flatskattaskipanina. Hendan differentieringin skuldi sostatt inn í sjálvan sáttmálan, so limir í ... |
That the flat tax should be reflected again in a consultation outcome is a direct attack on the free right to negotiate. | BLARK_translated | Hetta, at flatskatturin skuldi síggjast aftur í einum samráðingarúrsliti, er beinleiðis álop á frælsa samráðingarrættin. |
This arrogant piece was the much-discussed principle we could not swallow under any circumstances. | BLARK_translated | Hesin herskni bitin var tað nógv umrødda prinsippið, vit undir ongum umstøðum kundu svølgja. |
Wages are the result of free negotiations between equal parties. Therefore we cannot accept such ultimatums being issued in connection with the negotiations. | BLARK_translated | Lønin er eitt úrslit av frælsum samráðingum millum javnbjóðis partar. Tí kunnu vit ikki góðtaka at slík ultimatum verða sett í sambandi við samráðingarnar. |
Redistribution policy between income groups in society, for example through tax policy, is the foremost task of the Faroese Parliament. This responsibility | BLARK_translated | Fordeilingspolitikkur millum inntøkubólkar í samfelagnum, eitt nú gjøgnum skattapolitikkin, er ein hin fremsta uppgávan hjá Løgtinginum. Hendan ábyrgd |
Rather than shirking his responsibility, and the inequality that has now been created by the trade unions, the finance minister should have submitted a proposal to parliament to change the tax system so that low and middle incomes, who really need relief, benefit. Note well: a relief that will not be financed by cuttin... | BLARK_translated | Heldur enn at turka sína ábyrgd, og ójavnan, sum nú er skaptur, av uppá fakfeløgini, átti fíggjarmálaráðharrin at lagt uppskot fyri tingið, at broytt skattaskipanina, so lág og miðalinntøkur, sum veruliga hava tørv á einum bata, fáa ágóðan. Væl at merkja einum lætta, ið ikki verður fíggjaður við at skamfara okkara efti... |
That would have been a dignified decision that would really have mattered to Faroese families. | BLARK_translated | Tað hevði verið ein virðilig avgerð, ið veruliga hevði munað hjá føroysku familjunum. |
We remain committed to the freedom of the right to negotiate. It is ours and it must be respected. | BLARK_translated | Vit hava tvíhildið um frælsa samráðingarrættin. Hann er okkara og hann skal virðast. |
A unanimous committee decided to extend the contract by one year, among other things with two very significant and forward-looking special requirements. In addition, intended intrusions into our right to be heard were removed and the differentiation was not confirmed. | BLARK_translated | Ein samd nevnd valdi at leingja sáttmálan í eitt ár, millum annað við tveimum sera týðandi og framatlítandi serkrøvum. Harumframt vóru ætlað inntriv í okkara hoyringsrætt strikað og differentieringin ikki staðfest. |
With a joint verse and wishes for a spring with bright winds, and a good annual meeting. | BLARK_translated | Við felagskvøðu og ynskum um eitt vár við lýggjum vindi, og góðan aðalfund. |
We have an urgent announcement from Strandferðslan: Due to bad weather Smyril is not sailing. Smyril is bunkering. Due to a machinery failure Teistin is not sailing. The ferry in Skopun. Because of bad weather Bygdaleiðir are not running. | BLARK_translated | Vit hava eina bráðfengis kunngerð frá Strandferðsluni: Vegna illveður siglir Smyril ikki., Smyril bunkrar. Vegna maskinbrek siglir Teistin ikki. Portrið í Skopun. Orsaka av illveðri koyra Bygdaleiðir ikki. |
Yes, moreover it happens that the radio carries such news. So you can't avoid it. The weather must take its course, and others | BLARK_translated | Jú, meira enn so kemur fyri, at útvarpið ber tílík boð. Tí slepst ikki undan. Veðrið má sær ráða, og onnur |
Conditions may also come into play, so that Strandferðslan is unable to keep its travel plans. In such cases we place great emphasis on informing the travelers as quickly as possible, says Jens Petur Brattalíð, traffic coordinator at Strandfaraskip Landsins. | BLARK_translated | viðurskifti kunnu eisini gera seg galdandi, soleiðis at Strandferðslan ikki fær hildið sínar ferðaætlanir. Í tílíkum førum leggja vit sera stóran dent á at kunna tey ferðandi skjótast gjørligt, sigur Jens Petur Brattalíð, ferðslusamskipari hjá Strandfaraskipum Landsins. |
The main task of the traffic coordinator is to help make the travel schedules for ships and buses. | BLARK_translated | Høvuðsarbeiðssetningurin hjá ferðslusamskiparanum er at vera við at gera ferðaætlaninar hjá skipum og bussum |
We hear most from Strandferðslan especially during the winter half of the year. Particularly in these last two years the weather has been quite stormy, and that has also affected both the ship and bus connections between islands and villages. Jens Petur says that when the weather seems to be acting up, it’s important t... | BLARK_translated | Tað er serliga vetrarhálvuna at vit hoyra mest frá Strandferðsluni. Serliga hesi bæði seinastu árini hevur veðrið verið rættiliga ólagaligt, og tað hevur eisini merkt bæði skipa- og bussambandið millum oyggjar og bygdir. Jens Petur sigur, at tá veðrið tykist at øtla, ræður um at vera proaktivur, sum hann málber seg. Og... |
When it comes to the ships it is always the captain who has the decisive say. But otherwise the same procedure applies as with the buses. As soon as it is decided to postpone or cancel a trip, it is the task of the coordinator to announce the news as quickly as possible. Whether it sails or is cancelled, the safety of ... | BLARK_translated | Tá ræður um skipini er tað altíð skiparin, sum hevur avgerandi orðið. Men annars er sama mannagongdin galdandi, sum við bussunum. So skjótt avgjørt er at útseta ella avlýsa eina ferð, er uppgávan hjá samskiparanum at lýsa boðini skjótast gjørligt. Um siglt ella avlýst verður, er trygdin hjá ferðafólki altíð fremst í hu... |
If we take the so-called principle first, the struggle was about preserving the freedom of collective bargaining, which for several generations has been the crown of the Nordic welfare societies and the trade union movement. | BLARK_translated | Um vit taka sonevnda prinsippið fyrst, so stóð stríðið um at varðveita frælsa samráðingarrættin, sum gjøgnum fleiri ættarlið hevur verið krúnan í norðurlendsku vælferðarsamfeløgunum og fakfelagsrørsluni. |
In the settlement proposal it was stipulated that the salary increases for wages above 30,000 kr. should decrease and end at a zero at 50,000 kr. | BLARK_translated | Í semingsuppskotinum varð ásett, at lønarhækkingin fyri lønir hægri enn 30.000 kr. skuldu minka og enda á einum nulli við 50.000 kr. |
Then we could just as well set all wages by law and not by negotiations. | BLARK_translated | So kundu vit eins væl ásett allar lønir við lóg og ikki við samráðingum. |
If this is made binding, we will distinguish between members of the association and will also force other unions to lose their freedom to negotiate. We will not allow that to happen. | BLARK_translated | Verður hetta kjølfest, gera vit mun á limum felagsins og binda eisini onnur fakfeløg at missa frælsa samráðingarrættin. Tað vilja vit ikki geva okkum undir. |
Our role is to negotiate wages, and the employer must not unilaterally determine what pay raises the members of the union should receive, nor should they drive wedges between members. Nor should the employer use us to subordinate other unions. | BLARK_translated | Okkara lutur er at samráðast um lønirnar, og arbeiðsgevarin skal ikki einsæris áseta hvørja lønarhækking limirnir í felagnum skulu hava og ei heldur seta kílar millum limirnar. Heldur ikki skal arbeiðsgevarin brúka okkum at niðurbinda onnur feløg. |
When the coalition approved the antisocial flat tax before Christmas, everyone was clear that this would lead to greater inequalities between the income groups in the country. | BLARK_translated | Tá samgongan fyri jól samtykti asosiala flatskattin, vóru øll greið yvir, at hetta fór at hava við sær størri ójavnar millum inntøkubólkarnar í landinum. |
So the political authority should not place it on the trade unions to even out the inequality that is the result of this antisocial tax policy. On the other hand, is | BLARK_translated | So politiski myndugleikin skal ikki leggja tað yvir á fakfeløgini at javna út tann ójavna, sum er úrslitið av hesum asosiala skattapolitikki. Hinvegin er |
distributional policy, for example through tax policy, the foremost task of the Faroese Parliament (Løgting). | BLARK_translated | fordeilingspolitikkur, eitt nú gjøgnum skattapolitikkin, ein hin fremsta uppgávan hjá Løgtinginum. |
The representatives of the trade unions are not elected to press the red and green buttons in the parliament, and of course we cannot accept that the wage level is determined through tax policy by the authorities. | BLARK_translated | Umboðini fyri fakfeløgini eru ikki vald at trýsta á reyðu og grønu knøttarnar í tingsalinum, og vit kunnu sjálvandi heldur ikki góðtaka, at lønarlagið verður ásett gjøgnum skattapolitikkin av myndugleikunum. |
The Minister of Finance can tomorrow put forward a proposal to the Parliament to change the tax law and make a real difference, and not cleverly shove this responsibility over onto the trade unions. | BLARK_translated | Fíggjarmálaráðharrin kann í morgin leggja uppskot fyri Tingið at broyta skattalógina og gera ein veruligan mun, og ikki við snildi skumpa hesa ábyrgd yvir á fakfeløgini. |
When asked why the union rejected a 220-krone wage increase, it is said that we could accept a fixed krone amount rather than a percentage being applied to the wage increase, because this gives lower incomes relatively more into the pay packet. The union has also previously had increases in krone amounts. | BLARK_translated | Tá spurt verður, hví felagið vrakaði eina lønarhækkan á 220 kr. er at siga, at vit kundu góðtaka at eitt krónutal og ikki prosent varð sett á lønarhækkanina, tí hetta gevur lægru inntøkunum lutfalsliga meira í lønarposan. Felagið hevur eisini áður havt hækkingar í krónum. |
But the amount of DKK 220 that is specified in the arbitration proposal, and not by our goodwill, is so low that it only shows the respect the employer has for the employees in the public labor market. | BLARK_translated | Men upphæddin á kr. 220 kr. sum er ásett í semingsuppskotinum, og ikki við okkara góða vilja, er so lág, at tað bara vísur, hvørja virðing arbeiðsgevarin hevur fyri starvsfólkunum á almenna arbeiðsmarknaðinum. |
Furthermore, the number of kroner is so low that we would not accept this either. | BLARK_translated | Harumframt er krónutalið so lágt, at heldur ikki hetta vildu vit góðtaka. |
We received 4 special demands and during negotiations with the employers' side specified special demands regarding skill supplements. | BLARK_translated | Vit fingu 4 serkrøv við og í tingingum við arbeiðsgevarasíðuna ítøkiliggjørt serkravið viðvíkjandi førleikaviðbótum. |
Both the skills supplement and office staff with vocational training now being classified in salary grade 3 are rights we have fought for for several years. | BLARK_translated | Bæði førleikaviðbótin og at skrivstovufólk við yrkisútbúgving nú verða flokkað í 3. lønarflokk eru rættindi, vit hava stríðst fyri í fleiri ár. |
It can be mentioned that the starting salary for these office workers — who are a fairly large group of the association’s members — increases by about 1,000 kroner per month. | BLARK_translated | Nevnast kann, at byrjunarlønin fyri hesi skrivstovufólk, ið eru ein rættiliga stórur hópur av limum felagsins, hækkar útvið 1000 krónur um mánaðin. |
The decision not to go on strike was by no means easy to make. | BLARK_translated | Avgerðin um ikki at fara í verkfall var als ikki løtt at taka. |
This was in no way about not daring, because there is no lack of courage. | BLARK_translated | Hetta snúði seg á ongan hátt um ikki at tora, tí tað skortar ikki uppá dirvið. |
That the Trade Union has used the strike weapon – also recently – is not unknown. | BLARK_translated | At Starvsmannafelagið hevur brúkt verkfallsvápnið – eisini fyri kortum – er ikki ókent. |
We know that we will have to assess which battles we should fight, and whether we can lose more for less. | BLARK_translated | Vit vita, at vit verða noydd at meta um, hvørjar dystir vit skulu taka, og um vit kunnu missa meira fyri minni. |
Together we sent a letter to the contracting party and subsequently each union received a reply letter from the employers' side. The unions chose to decide individually for their own union. | BLARK_translated | Saman sendu vit sáttmálapartinum skriv og eftirfylgjandi fekk hvørt felagið sær svarskriv frá arbeiðsgevarasíðuni. Feløgini valdu at taka støðu hvør sær vegna teirra felag. |
For the Civil Servants' Association we believed that there was a real risk that we would lose more for less, and that the special demands | BLARK_translated | Fyri Starvsmannafelagið mettu vit at tað var reellur vandi fyri at vit vildu missa meira fyri minni, og at serkrøvini |
could be lost in the final agreement – or if the mediation proposal in the worst case was adopted into law. | BLARK_translated | kundu verða mist í endaligu semjuni – ella tá semingsuppskotið í ringasta føri bleiv samtykt við lóg. |
In short, we did not want to accept that the freedom of the right to collective bargaining was taken away from us. | BLARK_translated | Samanumtikið vildu vit ikki góðtaka, at frælsi samráðingarrætturin varð tikin frá okkum. |
That we, in an indefensible manner, should be forced to accept that the wages of our own members, and the wages of members in other associations, should be set by the authorities. | BLARK_translated | At vit á ófrættakendan hátt skulu tvingast at góðtaka, at lønin hjá egnum limum, og lønin hjá limum í øðrum feløgum, skuldi ásetast av myndugleikunum. |
Therefore we chose to extend the existing agreement and accept special provisions that are important for the union and members, also going forward. | BLARK_translated | Tí valdu vit at leingja verandi sáttmála og taka við serkrøvum, ið fyri felag og limir hava týdning, eisini framatlítandi. |
The decision to reduce the contributions has now resulted in the fund having a deficit in the past financial year. | BLARK_translated | Avgerðin um at minka inngjøldini hevur nú havt við sær, at grunnurin hevði undirskot farna rakstrarár |
A small part of the social insurance fund’s income consists of financial income. These were 1.5 million kroner for the year, which is about the same as in 2010. The majority of this is interest from securities, while interest on cash deposits is considerably lower than in the previous year. | BLARK_translated | Ein minni partur av inntøkunum hjá samlagstryggingargrunninum eru fíggjarinntøkur. Hesar vóru í árinum 1,5 milliónir kr. og tað er á leið tað sama sum í 2010. Meginparturin av hesum eru renta av virðisbrøvum, meðan rentan av innistandandi peningi er munandi minni enn árið frammanundan. Seinnu |
Gross expenditures for life insurance were just under 22 million kroner for the year. That is much more than in 2010, when gross expenditures were 12.3 million kroner. The increase stems from payouts related to deaths, which have risen significantly — from 7.3 million up to 16.5 million kroner. | BLARK_translated | Bruttoútreiðslurnar av samlagstrygging vóru í árinum knappar 22 milliónir kr. Tað er nógv meira enn í 2010 tá bruttoútreiðslurnar vóru 12,3 millónir kr. Hækkingin stavar frá útreiðslunum í sambandi við útgjald í sambandi við deyða, ið eru øktar munandi – úr 7,3 milliónum uppí 16,5 milliónir krónur. |
The operating deficit of 4.6 million kr. for 2011 was taken from equity, and this therefore amounted to 43.9 million kroner at the end of 2011. | BLARK_translated | Rakstrarhallið uppá 4,6 milliónir kr. fyri 2011 verður tikið av eginognini og varð henda sostatt við árslok 2011 43,9 millónir krónur. |
The Trade Union Cooperation was founded with broad cooperation in mind. One of the objectives of the cooperation was to bring negotiations together, in order to stand stronger and achieve better results. We tried this for the first time in 2010, and it was a heavy burden. It was difficult to find the pace, when the uni... | BLARK_translated | Fakfelagssamstarvið varð stovnað við breiðum samstarvi fyri eyga. Eitt av málunum í samstarvinum var at føra samráðingar saman, fyri at standa sterkari og røkka betri úrslitum. Vit royndu hetta fyrstu ferð í 2010, og tað var ein tungur burður. Ringt var at finna stevið, tá feløgini vóru bundin at hvørjum øðrum. Onkuntí... |
In 2010 we completed negotiations with an agreement that however only lasted for 1 year. It was so small that it was not advisable to make a longer contract. | BLARK_translated | Í 2010 kláraðu vit á mál við einari semju, sum tó bert vardi í 1 ár. Tað var so lítið í henni, at ikki var ráðiligt at gera ein longri sáttmála. |
And the demands from the partners on the other side of the table had now changed. Immediately there was talk of wage cuts, austerity, privatizations and other unpalatable measures. | BLARK_translated | Og krøvini frá samstarvspørtunum hinumegin borðið vóru nú broytt. Beinanvegin hoyrdist graml um lønarniðurgongd, sparingar, privatiseringar og annað ótespiligt. |
The negotiations continued, but they quickly went awry. A settlement was necessary, and it was crooked – both in one sense and the other. | BLARK_translated | Samráðingarnar hildu so á, men tað bar skjótt skeivan veg. Ein seming var neyðug, og hon var løgin – bæði so og so. |
The big dilemma in this matter was that if we in the Employees’ Association rejected the proposal that was on the table, it would be mostly on principle to introduce tax policy into our wage negotiations. We did not want a pay scale that reflected the coalition’s unfair tax policy, where a reduction in wage growth was ... | BLARK_translated | Tann stóra tvístøðan í hesum var, at um vit í Starvsmannafelagnum vrakaðu uppskotið, sum lá á borðinum, so var tað mest uppá prinsippið um at innføra skattapolitikkin í okkara lønarsamráðingar. Vit vildu ikki hava ein lønarskala, sum endurspeglaði órættvísa skattapolitikkin hjá samgonguni, har ein lækking av lønarvøkst... |
At the representatives’ meeting that we had held about the arbitration proposal, it was argued that this arbitration offer was so poor that it was not worth going on strike over. And we knew that people were very upset about the tax principle. So we thought that we could afford this radical solution in a one-year perio... | BLARK_translated | Á álitisfólkafundinum, sum vit høvdu havt um semingsskjalið, var ført fram, at hettar semingsuppskotið var so vánaligt, at tað ikki var vert at fara í verkfall uppá. Og vit vistu, at fólk vóru sera ill um skattaprinsippið. So vit hildu, at vit kundu loyva okkum hesa radikalu loysn í einum 1-ára skeiði. |
This was then tried at a meeting the next day with FMR. The parties presented what they had, and after a while in private, we met again to sign. | BLARK_translated | Hetta var so roynt á fundi dagin eftir við FMR. Partarnir løgdu tað fram teir høvdu, og aftaná eina løtu í einrúmi, hittust vit aftur fyri at skriva undir. |
At the time of writing, the teachers are still on strike in their third week. The other unions are talking about how best to support them and have announced a sympathy strike. | BLARK_translated | Í skrivandi stund eru pedagogarnir enn í verkfalli á 3. viku. Hini fakfeløgini tosa um, hvussu vit stuðla teimum best og hava lýst við samhugaverkfalli. |
The trade union cooperation and its basis of existence are being discussed after these negotiations. What are we doing right and what are we doing wrong? How do we proceed from here, and what will our common issues be in the future? This should be discussed thoroughly once peace returns to the labor market. | BLARK_translated | Fakfelagssamstarvið og tess tilverugrundarlag er umrøtt aftaná hesar samráðingarnar. Hvat gera vit rætt og hvat gera vit skeivt? Hvussu halda vit áfram herfrá, og hvat verða okkara felagsmál í framtíðini? Hetta skal umrøðast gjølla, tá friður aftur er á arbeiðsmarknaðinum. |
It has become customary to have a guest at our general meeting. | BLARK_translated | Tað er vorðin siðvenja, at hava ein gest á aðalfundi okkara. |
Knud Roger Andersen is the international secretary of the Norwegian organization Delta. Knud Roger will reflect and speak about the importance of the Nordic welfare society, its challenges and not least in troubled times. | BLARK_translated | Knud Roger Andersen er altjóða skrivari hjá norska felagnum Delta. Knud Roger fer at hugleiða og røða um týdningin av norðurlendska vælferðarsamfelagnum, avbjóðingunum og ikki minst í truplum tíðum. |
That we will get an interesting presentation is not in doubt. He has the floor and a good discussion is expected. | BLARK_translated | At vit fáa eina áhugaverda framløgu, er ikki at ivast í. Hann hevur orðið í síni makt og eitt gott kjak er í væntu. |
There will be an opportunity to ask him questions, and there is no doubt that we will also have an interesting and necessary discussion here. | BLARK_translated | Tað verður høvi at seta honum spurningar og at vit eisini her fáa eitt áhugavert og neyðugt kjak er onki at ivast í. |
Here at home the political situation over the past year has been marked by the fact that an election hung in the air for a long time. | BLARK_translated | Her heima hevur politiska støðan farna árið verið merkt av, at eitt val leingi lá í luftini. |
The coalition between A, B and C broke up and we got a minority coalition between B and C. The Faroe Islands have not been governed by a minority coalition before, so this was a new and unusual political situation compared with what we are used to. The minority coalition did not last the term. The Prime Minister called... | BLARK_translated | Samgongan millum A, B og C slitnaði og vit fingu eina minnilutasamgongu millum B og C. Føroyar hava ikki verið stjórnaðar av eini minnilutasamgongu áður, so hetta var ein nýggj og ørvísi politisk støða, enn vit eru von við. Minnilutasamgongan sat ikki skeiðið av. Løgmaður útskrivaði val tann 27.09. og valið skuldi anna... |
After the election on 29 October the new coalition was formed. Parties A, B, D and H hold 19 of the 33 seats in the parliament. Several of the most experienced politicians did not run again, and many newly elected people joined our parliament. | BLARK_translated | Eftir valið 29.10. bleiv nýggja samgonga skipað. Flokkarnir A, B, D og H hava 19 av teimum 33 sessunum í løgtinginum. Fleiri av royndastu politikarunum stillaðu ikki uppaftur, og fleir nývald manna okkara ting. |
Shortly less than two months after the election, on Tollagæsa Day, a very serious and unwelcome tax change was adopted. | BLARK_translated | Styttri enn tveir mánaðir eftir valið, tollaksmessudag, varð ein sera álvarsom og óunnilig skattabroyting samtykt. |
The flat tax means that large tax cuts are given to the well-off while those with low and middle incomes get little to no tax relief. In the world’s most expensive society it is precisely the lower and middle incomes that really have an urgent need for relief. | BLARK_translated | Flatskatturin merkir, at stórir skattalættar verða lætnir teimum vælbjargaðu og tey við lág og miðallønum fáa millum lítið og onki í skattalætta. Í heimsins dýrasta samfelagi eru tað júst lægru og miðal inntøkurnar, sum veruliga hava ein lætta fyri neyðini. |
And it is withholding tax from our pensions that was supposed to finance this unsolidary system. | BLARK_translated | Og tað er undanskatting av okkara eftirlønum, ið skuldi fíggja hesa ósolidarisku skipan. |
A progressive tax scale on withdrawals from capital pension and life annuity means a large cut in retirement income when people retire early. | BLARK_translated | progressivan skattastiga við útgjaldi av ratupensión og lívrentu, merkir stóran niðurskurð í eftirlønini, tá fólk fara frá fyri aldur. |
It is even the case that those same people who voted for the system should not be taxed on their pensions now – they are civil servant pensions and therefore an expenditure of the national treasury, which we all fund. | BLARK_translated | Enntá er tað so, at hesi somu, sum hava atkvøtt fyri skipanini, ikki skulu skattast av teirra eftirlønum nú – tær eru tænastumannaeftirlønir og tískil ein landskassa útreiðsla, vit øll fíggja. |
Trade unions and many others opposed this plan and wanted to prevent it from being put into effect. At meetings, both public and direct with coalition representatives, through letters, reader letters, in radio and television interviews and in other ways, attempts were made to get the coalition to stop and abandon the p... | BLARK_translated | Fakfeløg og mong onnur stríddust ímóti hesi ætlan og vildu forða fyri, at hon bleiv sett í verk. Á fundum, bæði almennum og beinleiðis við samgonguumboð, gjøgnum skriv, lesarabrøv, í útvarps og sjónvarpssamrøðum og á annan hátt, varð roynt at fáa samgonguna at steðga og sleppa ætlanini. |
The consequences of this very fundamental tax and pension change were in no way fully explained or transparent. | BLARK_translated | Avleiðingarnar av hesi so grundleggjandi skatta- og eftirlønarbroyting vóru á ongan hátt fult upplýstar ella gjøgnumskygdar. |
The large turnout at Vaglið on December 3 is also proof that Faroese people do not want our welfare society to go backwards; rather it should be defended, preserved and developed. | BLARK_translated | Stóra mannfjøldin á Vaglinum 3. desembur er eisini prógv um, at føroyingar ynskja ikki at okkara vælferðarsamfelag fer fyri bakka, heldur skal tað verjast, virðast og mennast. |
Staff with solid knowledge, skills and many with long experience, who have served the people of the Faroe Islands well. | BLARK_translated | Starvsfólk við hollari vitan, førleikum og mong við drúgvum royndum, ið hava tænt Føroya fólki væl. |
The result of these continual cuts is worsening service levels, greater wear and tear, fewer revenues and also that sources of income are being dried up. | BLARK_translated | Avleiðingin av hesum støðugu skerjingum gerst versnandi tænastustøði, størri niðurslíting, færri inntøkur og eisini at inntøkukeldur verða turrlagdar. |
Budget cuts and reductions do not create growth. State revenues must increase and it is necessary that broad, sustainable long-term agreements are made in parliament. | BLARK_translated | Skerjingar og niðurlaðingar skapa ikki vøkstur. Inntøkur landskassans mugu økjast og neyðugt er at breiðar, berandi langtíðar semjur verða gjørdar á tingi. |
July 22, 2011 is a day that has burned itself into our memory. The tragedy in Oslo and on Utøya is a terrifying attack on our democracy. Tragedies happen every day and every hour around the world. | BLARK_translated | 22. juli 2011 er ein dagur, ið hevur brent seg í minni okkara. Sorgarleikurin í Oslo og á Utøya er eitt ræðandi álop á okkara demokrati. Sorgarleikir henda hvønn dag og hvønn tíma kring allan heim. |
And then the contrast, that it is not permissible to let hatred take hold among the people. Instead they say; we want to show greater tolerance, openness and love. | BLARK_translated | Og so kontrastin, at tilber ikki at lata hatrið fáa fastatøkur í fólkinum. At tey tvørturímóti siga; vit vilja vísa størri tolsemi, opinleika og kærleika. |
As you know, the Civil Servants' Association turned 50 years old on February 23 last year. In that connection, the association put on quite a show to celebrate this. | BLARK_translated | Sum tykkum kunnugt fylti Starvsmannafelagið 50 ár tann 23. februar í fjør. Í tí sambandi gjørdi felagið fitt burtur úr fyri at hátíðarhalda hetta. |
On the birthday itself, February 23, a public reception was organized in the association’s premises. Several people took the opportunity to drop in on the floor, both members and partners. | BLARK_translated | Sjálvan føðingardagin 23. februar varð skipað fyri almennari móttøku í hølum felagsins. Fleiri nýttu høvi at støkka inn á gólvið, bæði limir og samstarvsfelagar. |
The day before the general meeting, there was a trade-union representatives' meeting and that same afternoon a public meeting was organized at the Nordic House. The topic was Trade Unions – past, present, future. | BLARK_translated | Dagin fyri aðalfundin, var álitisfólkafundur og sama seinnapart skipað fyri almennum fundi í Norðurlandahúsinum. Evnið var Fakfeløg – fortíð, nútíð, framtíð. |
Speakers were John Mortensen, Hans Mourits Foldbo, Snorri Fjalsbak and Selma Ellingsgaard. Afterwards there was a discussion between Selma Ellingsgaard from the Staff Association, Marita Rasmussen from the Business House and Sonja Jógvansdóttir from Samtak. Øssur Winthereig chaired the meeting. | BLARK_translated | Røðarar vóru John Mortensen, Hans Mourits Foldbo, Snorri Fjalsbak og Selma Ellingsgaard.

A large birthday celebration was held the same evening for all members of the association who had registered. Chairwomen and men from other Faroese trade unions were invited, as well as representatives from Nordic sister organizations. In addition, representatives of the employers’ side and the prime minister and his w... | BLARK_translated | Stór føðingardagsveitlsa varð hildin sama kvøld fyri øllum limum felagsins, ið høvdu teknað seg. Forkvinnur- og menn fyri onnur føroysk fakfeløg vóru boðin, umframt eisini umboð fyri norðurlendsk systurfeløg. Harumframt umboð fyri arbeiðsgevarasíðuna og løgmaður og frú. |
The party was held in the wonderful premises of Dansifrøi. In total there were about 300 guests. | BLARK_translated | Veitslan varð hildin í frálíku hølunum hjá Dansifrøi. Tilsamans vóru umleið 300 gestir. |
The association members who attended the general meeting received a gift, a document folder with a notepad and pen, this as a birthday present in connection with the 50th anniversary. | BLARK_translated | Limir felagsins, ið vóru møttir á aðalfundinum, fingu eina gávu, eina dokumentmappu við blokki og penni, hetta sum eina føðingardagsgávu í sambandi við 50 ára haldið. |
