It is common for the radio amateurs to meet in the cozy clubrooms Yviri við Strond in Tórshavn every Wednesday evening, but attendance varies, and when they organize some competition, members are unable to attend. Many of them have their own equipment at home, and therefore only come to the clubrooms from time to time,... | BLARK_translated | Vanligt er at radioamatørarnir hittast í hugnaligu felagshølunum Yviri við Strond í Havn hvørt mikukvøld, men misjavnt er hvussu er við uppmøtingini, men skipa tey fyri onkrari kapping, eru limir óførir at møta. Nógvir teirra hava egna útgerð heima við hús, og koma tí bert av og á í felagshúsini, men hjá teimum, sum ik... |
I have no doubt that some people consider this to be a more or less multifaceted pastime, but there are many such things. Rather than going to the granite cliff, we fish out of the air, Otto says jokingly. | BLARK_translated | Eg ivist ikki í, at onkur heldur hetta vera eitt meira ella minni margháttligt frítíðarítriv, men soleiðis er so mangt. Heldur enn at fara á seiðaberg, fiska vit úr luftini, sigur Otto skemtandi. |
At the staff meeting the director, Dia Midjord, made it clear that the financial situation was so bad that major cuts would have to be made. | BLARK_translated | Á starvsfólkafundi gjørdi stjórin, Dia Midjord, greitt, at fíggjarstøðan var so ring, at stórar skerjingar skuldu fremjast. |
The next day the Association of Faroese Media Workers and the Union of Employees issued a joint statement, which we also print here in the paper. | BLARK_translated | Dagin eftir sendu Felagið Føroysk Miðlafólk og Starvsmannafelagið út felags yvirlýsing, ið vit eisini prenta her í blaðnum. |
The unions and representatives have since attended several meetings with management, as well as communicated with those who are also leaving the institution. | BLARK_translated | Feløgini og álitisfólk hava síðani verið á fleiri fundum við leiðsluna, umframt samskift við tey, ið eisini vara av stovninum. |
The situation is very serious for the staff, who must live and work in unbearable uncertainty and at an institution whose funding is not secure and has not been for several years. | BLARK_translated | Støðan er sera álvarsom fyri starvsfólkið, ið skulu liva og virka í ótolandi óvissu og á einum stovni, hvørs fígging als ikki er haldgóð og ikki hevur verið tað í fleiri ár. |
The situation is also very serious for the entire Faroese people if Kringvarp Føroya, our bearer of culture and "watchdog", continues to be downgraded and cut to the bone, and well enough that Kringvarpið is no longer able to fulfill the obligations and provide the service that we as a nation must and ought to have. | BLARK_translated | Støðan er eisini sera álvarsom fyri alt føroya fólk, um Kringvarpið, okkara mentanarberi og „watchdog“, framhaldandi verður niðurlagað og skorið inn á bein, og væl tað, so Kringvarpið ikki megnar at yvirhalda tær skyldur og ta tænastu, ið vit sum tjóð mugu og skulu eiga. |
It is reprehensible that the management and the board have not done anything about the situation earlier, because this late reaction can now have terrible consequences for our members. | BLARK_translated | Tað er átaluvert, at leiðsla og stýrið ikki hava gjørt nakað við støðuna fyrr, tí hendan seina reaktiónin kann nú fáa ræðuligar avleiðingar fyri limir okkara. |
Mass media are a cornerstone of our democratic system, and therefore it is of great importance that we have a | BLARK_translated | Fjølmiðlar eru ein hornasteinur í demokratisku skipan okkara, og tí er tað av alstórum týdningi, at vit hava eitt |
We still do not know the final consequences of the cuts, but whatever happens, this will be a major setback for the Public Service service, and the political system must stop such a rollback. | BLARK_translated | Enn kenna vit ikki endaligu avleiðingarnar av sparingunum, men líkamikið hvat hendir, verður hetta eitt stórt bakkast fyri Public Service tænastuna, og einum slíkum afturstigið má politiska skipanin steðga. |
The organizations want to point out that the cuts in the Broadcasting Corporation could have major social consequences. | BLARK_translated | Feløgini vilja vísa á, at skerjingarnar í Kringvarpinum kunnu fáa stórar samfelagsligar avleiðingar: |
The public service obligation is being removed. The people of the Faroe Islands will not receive the independent media service that they are entitled to and have paid for. | BLARK_translated | Public Service skyldan dettur burtur. Føroya fólk fær ikki ta óheftu miðlatænastu, sum tey hava krav uppá og hava goldið fyri. |
Oversight of the political system and those in power is failing disastrously | BLARK_translated | Eftirlitið við politisku skipanina og valdshavarum viknar í ólukku mát |
The Union of Employees and the Association of Faroese Media Workers hope and expect that a solution other than mass layoffs will be found. For it is and will not be accepted that our members have been taken as hostages in a situation into which they have ended up entirely without fault. | BLARK_translated | Starvsmannafelagið og Felagið Føroysk Miðlafólk vóna og vænta, at ein onnur loysn enn hópuppsagnir verður funnin. Tí tað er og verður ikki góðtikið, at limir okkara eru tiknir sum gíðslar í eini støðu, sum teir púra uttan skyld, eru endaðir í. |
A good discussion is therefore also to be expected. It is thought that the Civil Servants' Association will do more. | BLARK_translated | Eitt gott kjak er tí eisini í væntu. Hugsandi er, at Starvsmannafelagið fer at gera meira |
That we Faroese own the sea’s gray gold and, to some extent, also our land, must surely be so indistinct to people. | BLARK_translated | At vit føroyingar eiga havsins gráa gull og fyri so vítt eisini okkara land, man valla vera so óskilligt fyri fólk. |
It is not necessary to change any wording if, in reality, there is no change. Why should it be necessary? | BLARK_translated | Ikki er neyðugt at broyta nakra orðing, um hon í veruleikanum ikki er nøkur broyting. Hví skal tað vera neyðugt? |
It turned out, however, that it was not just a noun or a name that was to receive another name. | BLARK_translated | Tað vísti seg tó, at tað var ikki bert eitt eiti ella eitt heiti, ið skuldi fáa annað heiti. |
It is said that not all that glitters is gold. However, our gray gold does glitter, and it shall continue to do so — but not only in the pockets of the few and the chosen. | BLARK_translated | Sagt verður; at tað er ikki alt gull, ið glitrar. Tó, okkara gráa gull, tað glitrar, og skal tað eisini framhaldandi gera, tó ei bert í lummum teirra fáu og útvaldu. |
However, the loan repayment must by no means be a curse. For our property, “the people’s property,” is just as the name says; mine and yours, our common property, and it is valuable. | BLARK_translated | Tó skal lánsgjaldið als ikki vera eitt eiti. Tí okkara ogn, „Fólksins ogn“ er júst sum heitið sigur; mín og tín, okkara felags ogn og hon er virðismikil. |
We the people must be allowed to come forward and express our opinion on this so fundamental issue. The grey gold of the sea is the lifeblood of the Faroese. | BLARK_translated | Vit fólkið, eiga at sleppa framat at siga okkara meining í hesum so grundleggjandi máli. Havsins gráa gull er lívsæðr føroyinga. |
If a car carries the tarpaulins to tell us of a brighter day — hope is the brightest fire and will the strongest sword. | BLARK_translated | Um eitt bil bera tjøldrini okkum boð um ein ljósari dag – vónin er bjartasti brandur og viljin sterkasta svørið. |
For Nám it is crucial that our customers are satisfied with the service provided, says Árni Jacobsen, coordinator at Nám, who says the merger clearly has advantages. | BLARK_translated | Fyri Nám er alt avgerandi, at okkara viðskiftafólk eru nøgd við ta tænastu, ið verður veitt, sigur Árni Jacobsen, samskipari í Námi, sum heldur samanleggingina hava eyðsýndar fyrimunir. |
Árni is a coordinator at NÁM, and he has been so for more than 14 years. He began the position in January 1999 at the National Centre for Teaching Resources, as the institution was then called. Since then the National Centre, the IT department and the Faroese Schoolbook Foundation have been merged into one | BLARK_translated | Árni er samskipari í NÁMI, og tað hevur hann verið í meira enn 14 ár. Hann byrjaði í starvinum í januar 1999 á Landsmiðstøðini fyri undirvísingaramboð, sum stovnurin tá æt. Síðani eru Landsmiðstøðin, KT-depilin og Føroya Skúlabókagrunnur løgd saman í ein |
Since Árni started the job, a lot has changed in various ways. Back then the building was called the Grundabuilding, because on the upper floor were the Wage Equalization Fund, the Development Fund and the Housing Loan Fund. On the ground floor were the Bookstore and the National Centre. Around the turn of the century ... | BLARK_translated | Síðani Árni byrjaði í starvinum, er nógv broytt bæði so og so. Tá varð bygningurin kallaður Grunnabygningurin, tí í ovaru hæddini vóru Lønjavningargrunnurin, Menningargrunnurin og Húsalánsgrunnurin. Í veghæddini vóru Bókamiðsølan og Landsmiðstøðin. Um aldarskiftið keypti landið bygningin, og um somu tíð flutti Mentamál... |
The national media center was established at the end of the 1980s and intended as a hub with teaching materials, counselling and courses for the school system to use. Lending of various digital recording devices such as video editing equipment also became part of the service that was | BLARK_translated | Landsmiðstøðin varð sett á stovn síðst í 80-árunum og ætlað sum ein miðstøð við undirvísingartilfari, ráðgeving og skeiðum hjá skúlaverkinum at brúka. Útlán av ymsum talgildum upptøkutólum eins og videoklipping gjørdist eisini ein partur av tí tænastu, ið varð |
The other collection is the Information Collection, which includes teaching materials in Faroese and Danish – one or more books of each. This is a showcase from the suppliers, where teachers have the opportunity to learn about the newest items available on the market. The Information Collection contains 18,000 lending ... | BLARK_translated | Hitt savnið er Kunningarsavnið, ið umfatar undirvísingartilfar á føroyskum og donskum – ein ella fleiri bøkur av hvørjari. Hetta er ein sýnisgluggi frá forløgunum, har lærarar hava møguleika at kunna seg um tað nýggjasta, ið fæst á marknaðinum. Í Kunningarsavninum eru 18.000 útlánseindir – bøkur, fløgur o.a. |
Árni is the coordinator for updating course lists. Through the school's computer system FirstClass he notifies course participants and sends them reminders as the course approaches. He is probably the person in the school system who has the closest communication with all the teachers in the country. He adds that the Fi... | BLARK_translated | Árni er samskipari í dagføring av skeiðslistum. Umvegis skúlatelduskipanina FirstClass kunnar hann skeiðsluttakarar og sendir teimum áminning, tá skeiðið nærkast. Hann man vera tann í skúlaverkinum, ið hevur tættast samskifti við allar lærarar í landinum. Hann leggur aftrat, at FirstClass-skipanin, ið verður umsitin av... |
Now that everything is in one place, we can rightly say that this is the place where teachers meet and talk together. At the same time they can learn about the opportunities and services the institution can provide, and they can meet librarians, administrative staff, advisors, schoolbook managers and the team that mana... | BLARK_translated | Nú tá alt er á einum og sama staði, kunnu vit av røttum siga, at hetta er staðið har lærarar hittast og práta saman. Samstundis kunnu teir kunna seg um teir møguleikar og tær tænastur, stovnurin kann veita, eins og teir kunnu hitta bókavørð, avgreiðslufólk, ráðgevar, skúlabókaritstjórar og toymini, ið umsita FirstClass... |
This is a very varied workplace, where I get in contact with many people. Feeling that the Námi team provides clients with a satisfactory and suitable service gives the workday meaning, says Árni Jacobsen, coordinator at Námi. | BLARK_translated | Hetta er eitt sera fjølbroytt arbeiðspláss, hvar eg komið í samband við nógv fólk. At kenna á sær, at starvstoymið í Námi veitir viðskiftafólki eina nøktandi og henta tænastu, gevur arbeiðsdegnum innihald, sigur Árni Jacobsen, samskipari í Námi. |
Do trade unions have any role in the question of declining population in the Faroe Islands, and how will this affect the future Faroese labor market? | BLARK_translated | Eiga fakfeløg nakran leiklut í spurninginum um vantandi fólkavøkstur í Føroyum, og hvussu fer hetta at merkja framtíðar føroyska arbeiðsmarknaðin. |
Høgni Reistrup, one of the editors of EXIT Føroyar, will be the guest speaker at the general meeting on March 9. The book has paved the way so that the topic has taken hold in the Faroe Islands. The biggest challenge will be to call it out, but it is necessary to keep the discussion going. | BLARK_translated | Høgni Reistrup, annar av ritstjórunum á EXIT Føroyar, verður gestarøðari á aðalfundinum 9. mars. Bókin hevur slóðað fyri, at evnið hevur bitið seg fast í Føroyum. Størsta avbjóðingin verður tað rópt, men neyðugt er at halda orðskiftið |
running. At the general meeting there will be ample opportunity to discuss the declining population. | BLARK_translated | koyrandi. Á aðalfundinum verður ríkt høvi at skifta orð um vantandi fólkavøksturin. |
The trade unions have not had it easy in recent years. With my long experience in the trade union movement, I want to offer myself to continue defending the interests of all the members of the union. | BLARK_translated | Fakfeløgini hava ikki havt tað lætt tey seinastu árini. Eg vil, við mínum drúgvu fakfelagsroyndum, bjóða meg fram at halda áfram við at verja áhugamálini hjá øllum limum felagsins. |
The financial crisis has been extremely hard on employees in recent years. Severe cutbacks and a large number of layoffs have affected a large part of the association’s members. | BLARK_translated | Fíggjarkreppan hevur verið ómetalig hørð við løntakaran seinastu árini. Ógvusligar sparingar og eitt ótal av uppsøgnum, hava rakt ein stóran part av limum felagsins. |
Politically it has been somewhat stormy in recent years. The trade unions have rarely agreed with the political authorities. In particular, we have pointed out the tax relief, which we consider to be unfair and lacking in solidarity, and the taxation of pensions with taxation at contribution instead of at payout. | BLARK_translated | Politiskt hevur verið nakað rokaligt seinastu árini. Fakfeløgini hava sjáldan verið samd við politiska myndugleikan. Serliga hava vit gjørt vart við skattalættan, sum vit meta rakar skeivt og ósolidariskt og skattingina av eftirlønini við inngjald í staðin fyri við útgjald. |
The question is often asked whether the trade unions should be politically active. I am one of those who believe that the trade unions should make their views known at all times and argue as well as possible for the workers' best interests. | BLARK_translated | Spurningur er ofta settur við, um fakfeløgini skulu verða politiskt aktiv. Eg eri ein teirra, sum haldi, at fakfeløgini skulu gera vart við sína hugsan alla tíðina og argumentera so væl sum møguligt fyri løntakaranna besta. |
I don't think the trade unions should be partisan, but we must keep a watchful eye on the country's leadership — regardless of who is in charge. | BLARK_translated | Eg haldi ikki fakfeløgini skulu verða partapolitisk, men vit skulu hava eitt vakið eyga við landsins leiðslu – óansæð hvør situr við leiðsluni. |
Now these three years have passed. What has been done and what has come out of it I must ask myself. | BLARK_translated | Nú eru so hesi 3 árini farin. Hvat er gjørt og hvat er komið burturúr eigi eg at spyrja meg sjálva. |
Collective bargaining negotiations have recurred every year and have occupied quite a bit of time during these years. | BLARK_translated | Sáttmálasamráðingar hava verið afturvendandi á hvørjum ári, og hava fylt nakað alla tíðina hesi ár. |
However, we have also been working on other tasks, and I must admit that I am glad a contract has now been signed for a 3-year period. There may be different opinions about the content, but overall it is good to be able to work and prioritize other matters for a period of time when negotiations are not on the agenda. | BLARK_translated | Tó hava vit arbeitt við øðrum uppgávum eisini, og skal eg viðganga, at eg eri glað fyri at sáttmáli nú er undirskrivaður fyri eitt 3 ára skeið. Kann vera ymiskt hvat vit meina um innihaldið, men samanumtikið er gott nú at kunna arbeiða og raðfesta onnur viðurskifti í eitt tíðarskeið, har samráðingar ikki eru á skránni. |
Here I am thinking particularly about staff relations, respect, well-being and joy, which are prerequisites for all development for each individual and for us together. And it is in a strong community, with trust in one another, that we in the labour market can set goals and achieve common objectives. Setting common go... | BLARK_translated | Her hugsið eg serliga um starvsfólkaviðurskifti, virðing, trivna og gleði, ið eru fortreytir fyri allari menning fyri hvønn einstakan og fyri okkum í felag. Og tað er í sterkum felagsskapi, við áliti á hvønn annan, at vit eisini á arbeiðsmarknaðinum kunnu seta mál og røkka felags málum. At seta felags mál er eisini ein... |
This is my position, but what matters is what your position is, as a member of the association and with the possibility to choose between several candidates. | BLARK_translated | Hetta er mín støða, men avgerandi er, hvør tín støða er, sum limur í felagnum og við møguleikanum at velja ímillum fleiri valevni. |
I believe that strength is in standing together. Good choice. | BLARK_translated | Eg trúgvi at styrkin er at standa saman. Gott val. |
Now that the board election is happening again, I offer myself to represent the society's members. | BLARK_translated | Nú nevndarval er aftur, bjóði eg meg fram at umboða limir felagsins. |
Since I last sat on the board of the Employees’ Association, we have gotten a flat tax, advance taxation of pensions and a steadily growing gap between those who are members of the Employees’ Association and those who benefit from the current coalition’s policies. | BLARK_translated | Síðani eg seinast sat í nevndini í Starvsmannafelagnum, hava vit fingið flatskatt, forútskatting av pensjónum og eina støðugt vaksandi gjógv millum tey, sum eru limir í Starvsmannafelagnum og tey, sum njóta gott av førda politikkinum hjá sitandi samgongu. |
Today we have a membership base that lives in the world’s most expensive country, which does not at all gain any benefit from the progress in society, and which lives in constant fear of becoming victims of senseless cuts that Jørgen and Kaj Leo constantly remind us of and threaten us with, claiming they are absolutely... | BLARK_translated | Vit hava í dag ein limaskara, sum býr í heimsins dýrasta landi, sum als ikki fær nakran ágóða av framgongdini í samfelagnum, og sum livur í støðugum ótta fyri at gerast offur fyri skilaleysu sparingunum, sum Jørgen og Kaj Leo støðugt minna okkum á og hótta okkum við, sum verandi alneyðugar fyri at bjarga landsins framt... |
For that reason, there is more need today for the Civil Servants' Association and a more active trade union movement than ever before. | BLARK_translated | Av tí sama er í dag meiri brúk fyri Starvsmannafelagnum og einari virknari fakfelagsrørslu enn nakrantíð áður. |
And who is closer to doing that than the Civil Servants' Association and the Faroese trade union movement? | BLARK_translated | Og hvør er nærri at gera tað enn Starvsmannafelagið og føroyska fakfelagsrørslan? |
The association must put itself forward, the board must put itself forward, and I hereby offer myself to participate together with the board in this work. | BLARK_translated | Felagið má bjóða seg fram, nevndin má bjóða seg fram, og eg bjóði meg hervið fram at luttaka saman við nevndini í hesum arbeiði. |
It is also important that the Civil Servants' Union participates actively in the debate now that the pension reform is again coming before the Faroese Parliament, so that we get as much out of the reform as possible. | BLARK_translated | Eisini er umráðandi, at Starvsmannafelagið luttekur aktivt í kjakinum, nú efirlønarreformurin aftur kemur fyri løgtingið, soleiðis at vit fáa sum mest burtur úr reforminum. |
The association is now twenty-five years old and is no spring chicken. | BLARK_translated | Felagið hevur nú fimtitvey ár á baki og er ongin ársungi. |
It is not ordinary practice that we are able to sign all our agreements — both the one with the Ministry of Finance, the Municipal Employers’ Association and the Faroese Employers’ Association — within the same quarter. | BLARK_translated | Tað er ikki gerandiskostur, at vit megna at undirskriva allar okkara sáttmálar, bæði tann við Fíggjarmálaráðið, Kommunala Arbeiðsgevarafelagið og Føroya Arbeiðsgevarafelag innanfyri eitt og sama kvartal. |
We signed the agreement with FMR on the same day; it came into effect. We had set this as a goal and promised it at the last general meeting — and we kept our word. | BLARK_translated | Sáttmálan við FMR skrivaðu vit undir sjálvan dagin, hann fór úr gildi. Hetta høvdu vit sett okkum sum mál og lovað á m.ø. seinasta aðalfundi – og vit hildu orð. |
The public employers wanted to negotiate separately this time, and therefore the agreement with KAF was not signed at the same time. | BLARK_translated | Almennu arbeiðsgevararnir ynsktu at samráðast hvør sær á hesum sinni og tí bleiv sáttmálin við KAF ikki undirskrivaður samstundis. |
With FAG we signed already on 13.12 that the agreements would not expire until New Year's Eve. | BLARK_translated | Við FAG undirskrivaðu vit longu 13.12. sum sáttmálarnir ikki gingu út fyrrenn gamlaárskvøld. |
Thank you for the past year, which is already part of the association's history. | BLARK_translated | Takk fyri farna árið, ið longu er partur av søgu felagsins. |
It has become customary to have a guest speaker or speakers at our general meeting. | BLARK_translated | Tað er vorðið siðvenja, at hava gestarøðara ella røðarar á aðalfundi okkara. |
Elections for the board are also on the agenda. Board members serve for a three-year term. | BLARK_translated | Nevndarval er eisini á skránni. Nevndarlimir sita í eitt trý ára skeið. |
Good luck to the three of you and thank you for your willingness to take responsibility to fight for members' rights and conditions. | BLARK_translated | Góða eydnu tit trý og takk fyri tykkara vilja, at taka ábyrgdina at stríðast fyri limanna rættindum og korum. |
The countries still have not reached an agreement on the division of the quota. That several years should pass without any agreement is remarkable. Organized relations and agreements between the countries must be the proper way forward. | BLARK_translated | Enn hava londini ikki fingið avtalu í hús um býtið av kvotuni. At fleiri ár skulu ganga uttan nakra avtalu er undrunarvert. Skipað viðurskifti og avtalur landanna millum mugu vera gongda leiðin. |
Serious changes have occurred in the past year and it wounds the despair that the coalition several times has shown that it does not respect democratic ... | BLARK_translated | Tað eru álvarsamar broytingar hendar seinasta árið og tað sáar mistreystið, at samgongan fleiri ferðir hevur víst, at hon ikki virðir demokratisku |
the rules of the game. We will never forget December 2011, our black December. | BLARK_translated | spælireglurnar. Vit fara ongantíð at gloyma desembur 2011, okkara svarta desembur. |
The parties A, B, D and H have governed the country since November 2011. The coalition has 19 of the 33 seats in the parliament. Several of the most experienced politicians did not run again when the election was called in the autumn of 2011. | BLARK_translated | Flokkarnir A, B, D og H hava stjórnað landinum síðani novembur 2011. Samgongan hevur 19 av teimum 33 sessunum í løgtinginum. Fleiri av royndastu politikarunum stillaðu ikki uppaftur, tá valið varð útskrivað á heysti 2011. |
Shorter than two months after the election, on Tollaksmessa Day 2011 itself, the terrible tax change was approved and the flat-tax system became a reality. It was to be funded by cutting taxes and thereby drastically reducing our pensions. | BLARK_translated | Styttri enn tveir mánaðir eftir valið, sjálvan tollaksmessudag 2011, varð ógvusliga skattabroytingin samtykt og flatskattaskipanin veruleiki. Skuldi eitast at verða fíggjað við at undanskatta og tískil skamfara okkara eftirlønir. |
The flat tax has given the well-off large tax reliefs, while the low- and middle-income earners have received little to nothing. In the world's most expensive society it is precisely the lower and middle incomes that really have a burden eased for necessity. | BLARK_translated | Flatskatturin hevur givið teim vælbjargaðu stórar skattalættar, meðan tey lág og miðalløntu hava fingið millum lítið og onki. Í heimsins dýrasta samfelagi eru tað júst lægru og miðal inntøkurnar, sum veruliga hava ein lætta fyri neyðini. |
Who was supposed to work more then? She and he with ordinary full-time jobs, who every day struggle to hold an everyday life together and to keep themselves and theirs afloat? | BLARK_translated | Hvør skuldi so arbeiða meira? Hon og hann við vanligum fulltíðarstarvi, ið hvønn dag stríðast fyri at fáa ein gerandisdag at hanga saman og lívbjarga sær og sínum? |
If there is the will, it is of course possible to change and correct the unsolidary tax relief. That is still what we are asking for. | BLARK_translated | Er vilji, er sjálvsagt gjørligt at broyta og rætta ósolidariska skattalættan. Tað er framhaldandi tað, vit biðja um. |
It must be defended, respected and nurtured, and no one should feel that they live off charity. | BLARK_translated | Tað skal verjast, virðast og mennast og ongin eigur at kenna seg liva av olmussu. |
When one considers that the municipalities are supposed to take over large areas, it is a serious matter that the question has not been clarified. | BLARK_translated | Tá so hugsað verður um, at kommunurnar ætlandi skulu yvirtaka stór øki, so er tað eitt álvarsmál, at greiða ikki er fingið á spurninginum. |
We knew that it would require a lot from us to reach the goal and also to get an agreement that we could live with. | BLARK_translated | Vit vistu, at tað fór at krevja nógv av okkum at náa á mál og eisini at fáa eina avtalu, ið vit kundu liva við. |
We had already extended our contract by one year, without a general wage increase, but with significant special provisions. | BLARK_translated | Vit høvdu frammanundan longt okkara sáttmála í eitt ár, uttan generella lønarhækking, men við týðandi serkrøvum. |
The finance minister's demands for differentiation — that the flat tax, their redistribution policy, should be legalized by us, with lower wages receiving a small pay increase and the well-paid receiving no pay increase, rather than the government changing its un-solidary tax relief — we would in no way accept. | BLARK_translated | Krøv fíggjarmálaráðharrans um differentiering, at flatskatturin, fordeilingspolitikkur teirra, skuldi legaliserast av okkum, við at lægru lønirnar skuldu fáa eina lítla lønarhækking og tey vælløntu onga lønarhækking, heldur enn at landsstýrið broytti sín ósolidariska skattalætta, vildu vit á ongan hátt góðtaka. |
That the members should now receive a pay increase was, of course, one of the demands and a cardinal issue. We wanted a three-year agreement, because it was clear to us that if a similar outcome was to be achieved, a longer term was necessary. | BLARK_translated | At limirnir nú skuldu hava eina lønarhækking var sjálvsagt eitt av krøvunum og ein kardinalspurningur. Vit ynsktu ein trý ára sáttmála, tí okkum var greitt, at skuldi eitt líkinda úrslit spyrjast burturúr, var neyðugt við longri áramáli. |
FMR therefore requested that the employer organizations consult with us individually. | BLARK_translated | FMR ynskti hesuferð, at arbeiðsgevararfeløgini samráddust hvør sær við okkum. |
The negotiations went well overall. The meetings were held at our place and lasted half and whole days each time. | BLARK_translated | Samráðingarnar gingu sum heild væl. Fundirnir vóru hildnir hjá okkum og hálvar og heilar dagar hvørja ferðina. |
When the deadline approached both parties knew that we could not reach the goal without something special happening and we doubted that the deadline would hold. | BLARK_translated | Tá deadline nærkaðist vistu báðir partar, at vit ikki kundu náa á mál uttan okkurt serligt hendi og vit tvíhildu um, at deadline skuldi halda. |
At the first negotiation meeting we had come up with the idea of trying intermediaries, if we saw that the distance between the parties was too great, before the deadline ran out. This was discussed again. Then it was interrupted. | BLARK_translated | Á fyrst samráðingarfundinum vóru vit komin við tí hugskoti at royna millumgongufólk, um vit sóu at ov langt var millum partarnar, áðrenn freistin var úti. Hetta var aftur umrøtt. So skeyt |
On the very first of October at 2:30 PM the parties signed the agreement. It took us 25 hours at Hotel Føroyar. Previously we spent a good 100 hours together with mediators. | BLARK_translated | Sjálvan fyrsta oktobur kl. 14:30 undirskrivaðu partarnir sáttmálan. Tað tók okkum 25 tímar á Hotel Føroyum. Áður hava vit brúkt góðar 100 tímar saman við semingsfólki. |
Kr. 440 the first year. Kr. 190, plus 0.9% the second year and 1.9% the third year, are the figures. In addition we have received other improvements and important agreements. We have agreed on joint initiatives; see elsewhere in the paper regarding the conference on social capital at NLH in April, and we also secured a... | BLARK_translated | Kr. 440, fyrsta árið. Kr. 190, pluss 0,9 % annað árið og 1,9 % triðja ári, eru tølini. Harumframt hava vit fingið aðrar ábøtur og týðandi avtalur. Vit hava avtalað felags átøk, sí aðrastaðni í blaðnum viðv. ráðstevnuni um sosialan kapital í NLH í apríl og eisini avtalu um rúmliga arbeiðsmarknaðin, fingu vit við í trý á... |
That we managed to get DKK 440 in a monthly wage increase in the first year was not expected. There is nothing to hide that several factors, including this one, we are glad to have included in the agreement. Also the wording about a more flexible/larger labour market is of great importance to us and we are pleased that... | BLARK_translated | At vit megnaðu at fáa kr. 440, í lønarhækking um mánaðin fyrsta árið, lá ikki í kortunum. Tað er onki yvir at dylja, at fleiri viðurskifti og m.a. hetta, eru vit fegin um at fáa við í avtaluna. Eisini orðingin um rúmliga arbeiðsmarknaði, hevur stóran týdning fyri okkum og fegnast vit um, nú er veruleiki. |
And so, — that we took on the task and managed to get the differentiation removed. The freedom of the right to negotiate is the cornerstone and we have respected and defended our rights. | BLARK_translated | Og so, – at vit lyftu uppgávuna og megnaðu at fáa differentieringina burtur. Frælsi samráðingarrætturin er grundarsteinur og vit hava virt og vart rætt okkara. |
It can only be said that the specially appointed conciliation attempt as a whole was successful. Both parties showed a strong willingness to reach an agreement, and we succeeded. | BLARK_translated | Ikki kann sigast annað enn, at sermerkta semingsroyndin sum heild hepnaðist væl. Báðir partar vístu ein stóran vilja at røkka eini semju og tað eydnaðist okkum. |
We signed the agreement with the Municipal Workers’ Union on November 23. There was a meeting with the union representatives in the municipal sector on the 22nd, and they also welcomed the agreement. In addition to the improvements we obtained internally with the Ministry of Finance, this agreement also included other ... | BLARK_translated | Semjuna við Kommunala Arbeiðsevarafelagið undirskrivaðu vit 23. novembur. Fundur var við álitisfólkini á kommunala økinum tann 22. og eisini tey tóku væl ímóti semjuni. Henda semjan hevur, umframt tær ábøturnar vit fingu í hús við Fíggjarmálaráðið, eisini hevði aðrar ábøtur, m.a. at partarnir fara undir arbeiðið við ei... |
All the agreements can be seen on the association’s website, and the negotiations, the mediation attempt and the agreement will also be reported at the general meeting. | BLARK_translated | Allar avtalurnar eru at síggja á heimasíðu felagsins og nomið verður eisini við samráðingarnar, semingsroyndina og semjunar á aðalfundinum |
Since the last general meeting, redundancies have affected several of the association’s members. Both at Posta, the Faroe Islands’ Travel Council, the Broadcasting Corporation and most recently at TAKS, members of the association have received notice of dismissal due to budget cuts. Employees with solid knowledge, skil... | BLARK_translated | Eisini síðani seinasta aðalfund hava skerjingar rakt fleiri av limum felagsins. Bæði á Posta, Ferðaráði Føroya, í Kringvarpinum og seinast eisini á TAKS, hava limir felagsins fingið hoyringsskriv um uppsøgn vegna sparingar. Starvsfólk við hollari vitan, førleikum og mong við drúgvum royndum, ið |
greater wear and tear, fewer revenues and also that sources of income are exhausted. Cuts and downsizing do not create growth. The state treasury's revenues must increase and it is necessary to make broad, sustainable long-term agreements. | BLARK_translated | størri niðurslíting, færri inntøkur og eisini at inntøkukeldur verða turrlagdar. Skerjingar og niðurlaðingar skapa ikki vøkstur. Inntøkur landskassans mugu økjast og neyðugt er at breiðar, berandi langtíðar semjur verða gjørdar |
In the summer of 2011 another of these so-called "political decisions" was made. Almannastovan and Nærverkið were to be merged into one. | BLARK_translated | Summarið 2011 var enn ein av hesum sokallaðu „politisku avgerðunum“ tikin. Almannastovan og Nærverkið skuldu leggjast saman í ein. |
That the Social Services and Nærverkið were to become one and the same institution may be sensible, and now the merger is a reality. The social welfare agency is the largest public workplace here at home. | BLARK_translated | At Almannastovan og Nærverkið skuldu verða ein og sami stovnur er møguliga skilagott og nú er samanleggingin veruleiki. Almannaverkið er stórsta almenna arbeiðsplássið her heima. |
As said, it may be a good idea to merge these institutions. | BLARK_translated | Sum sagt, er tað møguliga eitt gott hugskot at leggja hesar stovnar saman. |
What is important is that procedures are followed, because even sensible decisions that are not well-documented and well-founded will be criticized and meet resistance when the process is not satisfactory. | BLARK_translated | Tað sum er so týðandi er, at mannagongdir verða fylgdar, tí eisini skilagóðar avgerðir, ið ikki eru allýstar og vælgrundaðar, fáa skot fyri bógvin og møta mótstøðu, tá tilgongdin ikki er nøktandi. |
We have had several meetings and close communication with the trusted representatives in the Social Services (Almannaverkið) over the past year. Likewise, several meetings with the management and also cooperation with other trade unions regarding the matters. | BLARK_translated | Vit hava havt fleiri fundir og tætt samskiftið við álitisfólkini í Almannaverkinum seinasta árið. Somuleiðis fleiri fundir við leiðsluna og eisini samstarva við onnur fakfeløg um viðurskiftini. |
Merging two institutions is a large and lengthy task. | BLARK_translated | At leggja tveir stovnar saman er eitt stórt og drúgt arbeiði. |
The major changes create disruption and confusion and there are many questions. It is very important that the trusted representatives are concretely involved in the process and that management listens and adjusts the changes according to what they emphasize, because the employees have the important knowledge and expert... | BLARK_translated | Stóru broytingarnar skapa órógv og ørkymlan og spurningarnir eru nógvir. At álitisfólkini eru heilt konkret við í tilgongdini er sera umráðandi og at leiðslan lurtar og lagar tillagingarnar eftir tí, tey leggja dent á, tí starvsfólkini eiga ta týdningarmiklu vitanina og serkunnleikan, ið stovninum tørvar – eisini fyri ... |
We raised the issue of apprentices and the need for them during the collective bargaining negotiations. For several years, very few have been taken on as apprentices in clerical work in the public administration. The municipal sector, especially Tórshavn Municipality, on the other hand, has ... | BLARK_translated | Vit reistu málið um lærligar og tørvin á teim undir sáttmálasamráðingunum. Í fleiri ár, eru sera fá tikin í læru innan skrivstovuyrkið í almennu umsitingini. Kommunali geirin, serliga Tórshavnar kommuna, hevur harafturímóti |
This may not be a straightforward contractual question as such. However, this is an important issue for the continued development of public administration. To appoint people who have obtained training in clerical/office work. | BLARK_translated | Hetta er kanska ikki ein beinleiðis sáttmálaspurningur sum so. Tó er hetta eitt týðandi mál fyri framhaldandi menningina av almennu umsitingini. At seta fólk við, ið hava nomið sær útbúgving innan skrivstovuyrkið. |
It is also important for society that young people have more and diversified educational opportunities. | BLARK_translated | Eisini er umráðandi fyri samfelagið, at tey ungu hava fleiri og fjølbroyttar útbúgvingarmøguleikar. |
The employers' side also said it would take the matter very seriously and that this was an issue they wanted to prioritize. | BLARK_translated | Arbeiðsgevarasíðan segði seg eisini taka málið í stórum álvara og at hetta var eitt mál, tey vildu raðfesta. |
We have since seen several applications for apprentices and can only be pleased that the area is being prioritized and that the public employer has taken their intentions seriously. | BLARK_translated | Vit hava síðani sæð fleiri umsóknir eftir lærlingum og kunnu bert fegnast um, at økið verður raðfest og at almenni arbeiðsgevarin, hevur gjørt álvara av sínum ætlanum. |
After the collective bargaining negotiations a year ago, the trade unions in the Trade Union Cooperation reviewed the progress and the situation. | BLARK_translated | Eftir sáttmálasamráðingarnar fyri einum ári síðani, eftirmettu fakfeløgini í Fakfelagssamstarvinum gongdina og støðuna. |
