Høgni Reistrup also had some messages about... | BLARK_translated | Gestarøðarin kom við framskrivingum, sum vísa, at um 25 ár búgva 16 prosent færri fólk í Føroyum, meðan londini rundan um okkum hava fleiri fólk.

Sostatt var Súni Selfoss afturvaldur, meðan Karin Jacobsen er nývald, og Katrin Joensen fall á valinum. |
Creating population growth does not lie solely on the shoulders of the political authorities, but also on several other groups in society that have great importance. Not least the Civil Servants' Union, which has the size and strength to promote change, says Høgni Reistrup. | BLARK_translated | At skapa fólkavøkstur liggur ikki bert á herðunum á politiska myndugleikanum, men eisini á fleiri øðrum bólkum í samfelagnum, sum hava stóran týdning. Ikki minst Starvsmannafelagnum, sum hevur stødd og styrkju at fremja broytingar, sigur Høgni Reistrup. |
If we look at the figures for the female segment of Faroese society, we see that today there are 2,271 women between 25 and 34 years in the Faroe Islands compared with 3,143 women in 1985. The trend is almost the same when it comes to women between 15 and 24 years. These are women who are missing from society today. A ... | BLARK_translated | Skoða vit tølini fyri kvinnuliga partin í føroyska samfelagnum, síggja vit, at í dag eru 2271 kvinnur millum 25 og 34 ár í Føroyum sammett við 3143 kvinnur í 1985. Gongdin er næstan tann sama, tá talan er um kvinnur millum 15 og 24 ár. Hetta eru kvinnur, sum vanta í samfelagnum í dag. Ein ræðusøga í sær sjálvum. Tað se... |
It is very important that the union is highly visible and active in public discourse. In the union magazine, on the union’s website and in the media. The chairwoman of the union has a major role in making the union even more visible in society and reminding us of the great need to defend the rights of public employees,... | BLARK_translated | Tað er sera týdningarmikið, at felagið er sera sjónligt og virkið í almenna orðaskiftinum. Í felagsblaðnum, á heimasíðu felagsins og í fjølmiðlunum. Forkvinna felagsins eigur ein stóran leiklut at gera felagið enn meira sjónligt í samfelagnum og minna okkum á stóra tørvin á at verja rættindini hjá alment løntum, sigur ... |
As an example of very relevant issues, which the chairwoman of the Civil Servants’ Union has also pointed out, Høgni mentions, among other things, taxation of pensions with top-up payments, which is a temporary gain that later comes back to haunt us. It is important to be active at all times in the public debate, point... | BLARK_translated | Sum dømi um sera viðkomandi mál, sum forkvinnan í Starvsmannafelagnum eisini hevur víst á, nevnir Høgni m.a. skatting av pensjónum við inngjaldi, sum er ein løtuvinningur, og sum seinri kemur okkum aftur um brekku. Tað ræður um alla tíðina at vera virkin í almenna orðaskiftinum, vísa á skeivleikar sum eru, at skerjinga... |
A concrete issue that Høgni considers very relevant for the Civil Servants' Association to follow closely and draw attention to is when politicians talk about curbing public expenditures, as we often hear. | BLARK_translated | Eitt ítøkiligt mál, sum Høgni heldur vera sera viðkomandi hjá Starvsmanna- felagnum at fylgja væl við í og gera vart við seg, er tá politikarar tosa um at tálma almennum útreiðslum, sum vit ofta hoyra. |
Broadly speaking we can say that people with medium and higher educations are very mobile, and there is much talk about getting these people to move back home after completing their education. But although we have no figures today, it is very likely that when people without or with shorter educations become unemployed ... | BLARK_translated | Yvirskipað kunnu vit siga, at fólk við miðal og høgum útbúgvingum eru sera flytfør, og nógv verður tosað um at fáa hesi fólk at flyta heim aftur eftir lokna útbúgving. Men hóast vit eingi tøl hava í dag, er ógvuliga sannlíkt, at tá fólk uttan ella við styttri útbúgving gerast arbeiðsleys og flyta av landinum, er spurni... |
The Staff Association and employers are organizing joint initiatives. The first of its kind was held at the Nordic House on April 8 about Social Capital. | BLARK_translated | Starvsmannafelagið og arbeiðsgevarar skipa fyri felags átøkum. Hitt fyrsta av sínum slag var í Norðurlandahúsinum 8. apríl um Sosialan Kapital. |
When the Civil Servants’ Union negotiated an agreement with the Municipal Employers’ Association and the Wage Department of the Ministry of Finance in October 2012, it was agreed that the parties would begin organising joint initiatives to increase well‑being in the workplaces for which the parties are responsible. It ... | BLARK_translated | Tá Starvsmannafelagið gjørdi sáttmálasemju við Kommunala Arbeiðsgev- arafelagið og lønardeildina hjá Fíggjarmálaráðnum í oktober 2012 varð avtalað, at partarnir skuldu fara undir at skipa fyri felags átøkum, sum skulu økja um trivnaðin á arbeiðsplássinum sum partarnir varða av.

At the conference Annika Flagstad Berg, Master in TML, who is HTU manager at SEV, and Beinta Wilhelm Fossabrúgv, HR manager at Føroya Tele, described their experiences working with Social Capital. Høgni Djurhuus, broadcaster, also reflected on good working life. | BLARK_translated | Á ráðstevnuni greiddu Annika Flagstad Berg, master í TML, sum er HTU- leiðari hjá SEV og Beinta Wilhelm Fossabrúgv, starvsfólkastjóri hjá Føroya Tele, frá teirra royndum við at arbeiða við Sosialum Kapitali. Eisini hugleiddi Høgni Djurhuus, kringvarpsmaður, um tað góða arbeiðslívið. |
The latter part of the conference focused on a well-being survey that the Civil Servants’ Union commissioned among its members. 818 members answered the questions, and Selma Ellingsgaard, chairwoman of the union, presented the results of the survey. After this there was a panel discussion where the participants gave th... | BLARK_translated | Seinri parturin av ráðstevnuni snúði seg um eina trivnaðarkanning, sum Starvs- mannafelagið hevur latið gjørt millum limir felagsins. 818 limir svaraðu spurningunum, og Selma Ellingsgaard, forkvinna felagsins, legði úrslitið av kanningini fram. Eftir hetta varð pallborðsorðaskifti, har luttakararnir søgdu sína hugsan u... |
The public sector faces many challenges ahead. Politically, there is a demand to get more for every króna, while citizens’ demands increase in every area. The big question, then, is how we can achieve high-quality work, more for the same kroner, satisfied citizens, and that employees thrive in their workplaces, and tha... | BLARK_translated | Almenni geirin hevur nógvar avbjóðingar fyri framman. Politiskt er kravið, at fáa meira fyri hvørja krónu, samstundis sum krøvini frá borgarunum økjast í hvørjum. Stóri spurningurin er tí hvussu vit fáa dygdargott arbeiði, meira fyri somu krónur, nøgdar borgarar, og at starvsfólk trívast á sínum arbeiðsplássi, at hanga... |
to act according to the concept of Social Capital, was the main message from Tage Søndergård Kristensen in his lecture for leadership and union representatives of the Starvsmannafelagið, representatives from the Ministry of Finance and other public leaders. | BLARK_translated | er at virka eftir hugtakinum Sosialur Kapitalur, var høvuðsboðskapurin hjá Tage Søndergård Kristensen í sínum fyrilestri fyri leiðslu og álitisfólk hjá Starvsmannafelagnum, umboðum úr Fíggjarmálaráðnum og øðrum almennum leiðarum. |

Where someone is in the workplace, where someone is positioned in the hierarchy, is not as visible in the Nordic countries near us as it is elsewhere, where it is not uncommon to have three different restaurants depending on which “rank” you have. That is virtually unknown in the Nordic countries. All of this matters w... | BLARK_translated | Hvar ein á arbeiðsplássinum, hvar ein er staddur á leiðslustiganum, er ikki eins sjónligt í londunum næst uttan um okkum, sum tað er aðrastaðni, har tað ikki er óvanligt at hava tríggjar ymiskar matstovur alt eftir hvørja „tignaðarstøðu“ tú hevur. Tað er at kalla ókent í Norðurlondum. Alt hetta telur við, tá ræður um a... |
Through annual well-being surveys and employee interviews, they at Føroya Tele work on parts of the social capital. | BLARK_translated | Við árligum trivnaðarkanningum og starvsfólkasamrøðum arbeiða tey á Føroya Tele við pørtum av sosiala kapitalinum. |
Well-being and productivity are connected. That is why they at Føroya Tele consider it very important to work on well-being in the workplace, which is a part of making the institution as productive as possible. | BLARK_translated | Trivnaður og produktivitetur hanga saman. Tí halda tey á Føroya Tele tað hava alstóran týdning at arbeiða við trivnaði á arbeiðsplássinum, sum er ein liður í at gera stovnin so produktivan sum gjørligt. |
All management as well as other employees who take part in the wellbeing survey receive these questions. Information from management and immediate supervisor. Recognition for work performance. Expectations and areas of responsibility. Skills. Express their opinion if employees are dissatisfied. Conflicts are resolved f... | BLARK_translated | Øll, leiðsla eins og starvsfólk annars, sum luttaka í trivnaðarkanningini, fáa hesar spurningar. Kunning frá leiðsluni og nærmasta leiðara.

Faroese Telecom, and satisfaction with the job, all things considered. | BLARK_translated | Føroya Tele, og nøgdsemi við starvið, tá ið alt er tikið við. |
At Føroya Tele they conduct a wellbeing survey every autumn, and in the spring they have job interviews.

Annika F. Berg, HSE manager at SEV, set out, as part of her master's studies in occupational environment management, to shed light on the concept of Social Capital. A concept that is not often seen as a resource, but which nonetheless has huge importance in a workplace. And this does not need to cost anything in terms ... | BLARK_translated | Annika F. Berg, HTU-leiðari hjá SEV, setti sær fyri, sum ein part av sínari master-útbúgving í arbeiðsumhvørvisleiðslu, at varpa ljós á hugtakið Sosialur Kapitalur. Eitt hugtak, sum ikki so ofta verður sæð sum eitt tilfeingi, men sum kortini hevur alstóran týdning á einum arbeiðsplássi. Og hetta nýtist ikki at kosta na... |
At the conference Annika presented the study she conducted among the employees at SEV, which, among other things, examined the importance of social capital for SEV’s production and safety. The study asked whether employees see a connection between safety and production, how employees perceive collaboration within their... | BLARK_translated | Á ráðstevnuni greiddi Annika frá kanningini, sum hon gjørdi millum starvsfólkini á SEV, sum m.a. tók støði í hvønn týdning sosiali kapitalurin hevur fyri framleidni og trygd hjá SEV. Her varð spurt um starvsfólk síggja samband millum trygd og framleidni, hvussu fata starvsfólk starvsfólkini samstarvið á síni deild og m... |
Annika says that generally speaking Faroese employees do not talk to each other enough. The wellbeing survey by the Employees’ Association also showed that, and the staff at SEV are no exception in that regard. People think that communication is probably satisfactory, but if you ask further about it, it becomes clear t... | BLARK_translated | Annika sigur, at generelt tosa føroysk starvsfólk ikki nóg nógv saman. Tað vísti eisini trivnaðarkanningin hjá Starvsmannafelagnum, og starvsfólkini hjá SEV eru eingi undantøk í so máta. Fólk halda, at samskifti ivaleyst man vera nøktandi, men spyrt tú nærri um tað, er greitt, at samskiftið uttan iva kundi verið betri. |
Among other things, based on the results of the survey, SEV continues to work on increasing social capital. Annika says that one of the measures is to organize leadership training, with the main emphasis placed on communication. | BLARK_translated | Millum annað við støði í úrslitinum í kanningini arbeiðir SEV framhaldandi at økja um tann sosiala kapitalin. Annika sigur, at eitt av tiltøkunum er at skipa fyri leiðaraútbúgvingum, har høvuðsdentur verður lagdur á samskifti. |
If the score is below 4.95, it is a sign that the employees are not thriving, that they are at risk of burnout, and that there are many sick days. Therefore measures must be implemented. If the result is between 4.95 and 6.05 it is satisfactory, but there is room for improvement. If the score is above 6.06 the employee... | BLARK_translated | Er talið niðanfyri 4,95, er tað tekin um, at starvsfólkini ikki trívast, at tey eru í vanda fyri strongd og at sjúkradagarnir eru nógvir. Tí mugu tiltøk setast í verk. Er úrslitið millum 4,95 og 6,05 er tað nøktandi, men pláss er fyri at bøta um. Er talið omanfyri 6,06 trívast starvsfólkini og arbeiða úrslitagott saman... |
Well-being in the workplace is to a greater extent related to the overall workplace environment rather than the content of the work itself, says an occupational environment expert. | BLARK_translated | Trivnaður á arbeiðsplássinum er í størri mun tengdur at samlaða arbeiðsplássinum heldur enn innihaldi í sjálvum arbeiðinum, sigur serfrøðingur í arbeiðsumhvørvi. |
Social Capital, what is that? Probably some have been somewhat doubtful about the meaning of the concept when the Union of Civil Servants, together with the Ministry of Finance, organized a joint initiative under this title. One concept, two words, which may seem to have little to do with each other, if not to say that... | BLARK_translated | Sosialur Kapitalur, hvat er tað? Ivaleyst hevur onkur verið eitt sindur ivandi um merkingina av hugtakinum tá Starvsmannafelagið, saman við Fíggjarmálaráðnum, skipaði fyri einum felagstiltaki við hesum heiti. Eitt hugtak, tvey orð, sum kann tykjast at hava lítið við hvørt annað at gera, fyri ikki at siga at talan er um... |
The concept of Social Capital has been used by the World Bank for several years to compare conditions between countries. Why some do well and others less well, even though the conditions have been the same. Among other things, the World Bank compared conditions in South Korea with those in Nigeria, which in 1950 were a... | BLARK_translated | Hugtakið Sosialur Kapitalur hevur Heimsbankin nýtt í fleiri ár at sammeta viðurskiftini millum lond. Hví nøkur klára seg væl og onnur minni væl, hóast treytirnar hava verið tær somu. M.a. sammetti Heimsbankin viðurskiftini í Suður Korea við tey í Nigeria, sum í 1950 vóru á sama menningarstigi. Í dag er Suður Korea tígg... |
When we talk about a workplace, we also talk about people at different levels in relation to power. Some are employers and others employees. The daily tasks of all parties can be quite different, but what is important is that everything is carried out legally, and that everyone likewise knows and accepts the frameworks... | BLARK_translated | Tá vit tosa um eitt arbeiðspláss, tosa vit eisini um fólk á ymiskum stigum í sambandi við vald. Onkur er arbeiðsgevari og onnur løntakarar. Dagligu uppgávurnar hjá øllum pørtum kunnu vera rættiliga ymiskar, men týdningarmikið er, at alt fer fram á lógligan hátt, og at øll somuleiðis kenna og góðtaka karmar og leiklut h... |
Asked about the fact that trade unions and employers organize such joint events as this one on social capital, whether this should be seen as new developments in the labour market, Tage S. Kristensen says it may seem so. | BLARK_translated | Spurdur um hetta, at fakfeløg og arbeiðsgevari skipa fyri tílíkum felags tiltøkum sum hesum um sosialan kapital, er at rokna sum nýggir tónar á arbeiðsmarknaðinum, sigur Tage S. Kristensen, at so kann tykjast. |
Employees tend to place more emphasis on the social aspects, while the employer thinks more about capital. But when we talk about Social Capital, it is not a requirement that there is agreement on every issue; rather it is that both parties understand and accept the difference in each other’s interests. In addition, th... | BLARK_translated | Starvsfólk leggja helst størra dentin á sosiala partin, meðan arbeiðsgevarin hugsar meira um kapitalin. Men um tosað verður um Sosialan Kapital er ikki treytin, at semja er á øllum økjum, men heldur at báðir partar skilja og góðtaka munin á áhugamálunum hvør hjá øðrum. Harafturat liggur eisini í hesum ein felags áhugi ... |
Tage S. Kristensen has for many years given talks and courses to large numbers at many workplaces and trade unions in Denmark in connection with the working environment. In most cases it is employees or trade unions who have asked management to organize such courses. Many trade unions have also asked Tage S. Kristensen... | BLARK_translated | Tage S. Kristensen hevur í mong ár hildið fundir og skeið í hópatali á mong- um arbeiðsplássum og fakfeløgum í Danmark í sambandi við arbeiðsumhvørvi.

In addition to representatives of staff and management being involved in joint initiatives regarding the working environment, the politicians have also paid attention to this. Tage S. Kristensen reports that in the Copenhagen municipality the politicians in the new so‑called strategy plan for 2013 have said they want t... | BLARK_translated | Umframt at umboð fyri starvsfólk og leiðslu eru um felags átøk í sambandi við arbeiðsumhvørvi, hava eisini politikararnir víst hesum ans.

A story is from the age of sloops, which few know about, which few have heard. Much else has been said and written about the origin of the main industry, but this particular story has gone back with the port side. It was the sloop Shining Flower that one fine day was on the Southland. | BLARK_translated | Ein søga er úr slupptíðini, sum fá vita um, sum fá hava hoyrt. Nógv er annars sagt og skrivað um upprunan hjá høvuðsvinnuni, men júst hendan søgan er farin aftur við bakborðinum. Tað var sluppin Shining Flower, sum ein fagran dag var á Suðurlandinum. |
They had caught a lot of fish the day before, and now they were ready to cast again. The mood was good, because they expected a good catch again that day. And the weather was excellent. | BLARK_translated | Teir høvdu fingið nógvan fisk dagin fyri, og nú var klárt at kasta aftur. Hýrurin var góður, tí teir væntaðu sær nógv aftur hendan dagin. Og veðrið var av tí besta. |
They decided quickly, took the skipper, threw him overboard, and then they went fishing and caught a lot of fish. | BLARK_translated | Teir gjørdu skjótt av, tóku skiparan, tveittu hann fyri borð, og so fóru teir at fiska og fingu nógvan fisk. |
Get relief from the threat of layoffs for weeks and months. | BLARK_translated | Fáa frið fyri hóttanum um uppsagnir í vikur og mánaðir. |
Give us monkeys with the transport stickers just one box of bananas a week. | BLARK_translated | Gevið okkum apum við flutningsbondini bara ein kassa av bananum um vikuna. |
And maybe just a little out of respect for what we do. | BLARK_translated | Og kanska bara eitt vet av virðing fyri tí, vit gera. |
It can happen with an email or a handshake and two or three words during the coffee break. Forced hospitalization for whole days is not necessary. | BLARK_translated | Tað kann gerast við einum telduposti ella einum herðaklappi og tveimum, trimum orðum í kaffistegðinum. Tvangsinnlegging heilar dagar er ikki neyðug. |
Give Ella more pay instead of beautiful, empty words, contract-filling. | BLARK_translated | Ella gevið meira løn í staðin fyri vøkur, tóm orð, sáttmálafyllu. |
The idea was good. He decided to create a market so he could live off it, live well off it. | BLARK_translated | Hugflogið var gott. Hann avgjørdi at skapa ein marknað, sum hann so kundi liva av, liva væl av. |
I knew some managers and leaders who wanted the staff to think that they were good and capable with them. But how did they do it? | BLARK_translated | Kendi nakrar stjórar og leiðarar, sum vildu hava starvsfólkið at halda, at teir vóru góðir og fittir við tey. Men hvussu gjørdu tey tað? |
Hey, this was the market. Managers and leaders need help to deceive employees into believing they have influence, that they are being heard — as if to blow peat soil in their eyes (i.e., to blind them). | BLARK_translated | Hey, her var marknaðurin. Stjórar og leiðarar hava brúk fyri hjálp at billa starvsfólki inn, at tey hava ávirkan, at lurtað verður eftir teimum, sum sagt blása torvmold í eyguni á teimum. |
Nothing, not a single public employee will get a good or better working life from this initiative. | BLARK_translated | Einki, ikki eitt einasta eitt alment starvsfólk fær eitt gott ella betri arbeiðslív av hesum tiltakinum her. |
A new business was invented. It grew fast, incredibly fast. Lots of money, because everyone of course wanted to be involved. It's like with Christmas dinners and village festivals and fish-processing plants on every spit. | BLARK_translated | Ein nýggjur bisniss var uppfunnin. Hann vaks skjótt, øgiliga skjótt. Nógvir pengar, tí øll vildu sjálvandi vera við. Tað er sum við jólaborðhaldunum og bygdarstevnunum og flakavirkjunum á hvørjum tanga. |
Previously, when a wall needed to be moved at a workplace, a craftsman was called, a carpenter. Now at least one psychologist and probably some academics in addition will be asked, because it might be thought that the wall is autistic, caused by autism, and therefore cannot tolerate being moved. | BLARK_translated | Fyrr, tá ein veggur skuldi flytast á einum arbeiðsplássi, bleiv ein handverkari biðin, ein tímburmaður. Nú verður minst ein sálarfrøðingur og helst nakrir akademikarar afturat bidnir, tí tað kann jú hugsast, at veggurin er autistiskur, orsaka hevur autismu, og tí ikki tolir at vera fluttur. |
back in the day, when a workplace was a workplace and not a wellness facility or leisure club. | BLARK_translated | fyrr í tíðini, tá eitt arbeiðspláss var eitt arbeiðspláss og ikki ein vælverumiðstøðu ella hugnaklubbi. |
No cost-benefit analysis has been done, but I am going to claim that it costs a lot and provides no benefit. Empty words for money. | BLARK_translated | Eingin kostnyttukanning er gjørd, men eg fari at pástanda, at tað kostar nógv og ger onga nyttu. Tóm orð fyri krónur. |
It doesn't make the situation any better that the trade unions are taking part in this comedy. | BLARK_translated | Tað ger ikki støðuna frægari, at fakfeløgini spæla við í hesi komediu. |
It sells good pay kroner for empty words. The contracts are getting longer and longer each time. More and more words that end in politics. | BLARK_translated | Tað selur góðar lønarkrónur fyri tóm orð. Sáttmálarnir gerast longri og longri fyri hvørja ferð. Fleiri og fleiri orð sum enda við politikkur. |
Now it is difficult for us ordinary mortals to know what emphasis will be placed when leaders are appointed. We do not get to know that, it does not concern us. Nor who else applied. When we then hear who got the position, we ask, sometimes of course, God knows who else applied? | BLARK_translated | Nú er ringt hjá okkum vanligu deyðiligu at vita, hvat dentur verður lagdur á, tá leiðarar verða settir. Tað fáa vit ikki at vita, tað rakar ikki okkum. Heldur ikki, hvør annar søkti. Tá vit so frætta, hvør fekk starvið, spyrja vit, innantanna sjálvandi, Gud viti, hvør annar søkti? |
Almost everyone wants to be leaders, even those who are not capable. And it seems that those who are not capable get the leadership positions, because a week after they have become leaders, they have to go on a course to learn how to be leaders. | BLARK_translated | Næstan øll vilja vera leiðarar, eisini tey, sum ikki duga. Og tað tykist soleiðis, at tey, sum ikki duga, fáa leiðarastørvini, tí eina viku eftir, at tey eru vorðnir leiðarar, skulu tey á skeið at læra at vera leiðarar. |
Also there lies the HR industry alongside. Yet another good source of income. | BLARK_translated | Eisini har liggur HR-idnaðurin framvið. Enn ein góð inntøkukelda. |
In summary: leaders make all the decisions. But unfortunately time requires that the people be asked and heard. | BLARK_translated | Samanumtikið: leiðarar taka allar avgerðir. Men tíverri krevur tíðin, at fólkið verður spurt og hoyrt. |
Leaders don’t know how to convince people that they are being heard, have influence, are involved in decisions. So what to do? Yes, of course, the same as the politicians, buy spin doctors to make people believe that they are being heard and have influence. Even though they are not being heard and have no influence wha... | BLARK_translated | Leiðarar vita ikki, hvussu teir fáa billað fólkinum inn, at tey verða hoyrd, hava ávirkan, eru við í avgerðunum. Hvat er so at gera? Jú, sjálvandi, tað sama sum politikararnir, keypa sær spunasmiðir at billa fólki inn, at tey verða hoyrd og hava ávirkan. Hóast tey ikki verða hoyrd og onga sum helst ávirkan hava. Tí, su... |
The employer leads and delegates the work. The story is no longer than that. It is not necessary to throw peat dust in people's eyes. It also costs far too much. | BLARK_translated | Arbeiðsgevarin leiðir og býtir út arbeiðið. Longri er tann søgan ikki. At blása torvmold í eyguni á fólki er ikki neyðugt. Tað kostar eisini alt ov nógv. |
The skipper of the Shining Flower? Yes, he was hauled back on board again, after having promised and sworn that he would never again come with such a filthy idea as having a staff day. | BLARK_translated | Skiparin á Shining Flower? Ja, hann bleiv hálaður um borð aftur, eftir at hava lovað og gjørt eið uppá, at hann ongantíð aftur skuldi koma við einum so skítbýttum boðum sum at hava starvsfólkadag. |
If you had asked them about social capital, they would have answered, "no, there is no socialist on board." | BLARK_translated | Spurdi tú teir um sosialan kapital, høvdu teir svarað, „nei, her er eingin sosialistur umborð.“ |
The financial frameworks for the next five years have been presented, and the Civil Servants’ Association believes that the government’s fiscal policy is fundamentally wrong, because it accelerates the downturn that the Faroese economy is in.

Neyðugt er meira enn nakrantíð, at landsstýrið endurreisir álitið hjá húsarhaldunum og vinnun... |
by announcing extensive cuts and not including wage and price increases in operating figures for the coming years, the government spreads fear among people. | BLARK_translated | at boða frá umfatandi sparingum og ikki at innrokna lønar- og prísvøkstur í rakstrartølini næstu árini, spjaðir landsstýrið ótta millum fólk. |
The government says in its financial accounts that the moment is appropriate to carry out extensive austerity measures in the public sector because economic growth continues. When the economy is running well, it is the right time to implement austerity measures, it is said. But the economy is by no means running well f... | BLARK_translated | Landsstýrið sigur í fíggjarkørmunum, at løtan er lagalig at fremja umfatandi rakstrarátøk í almenna geiranum, tí búskaparvøksturin heldur fram. Tá rákið er við, er rætta løtan at fremja rakstrarátøk, verður sagt. Men rákið er als ikki við landsstýrinum. Landsbankin segði í sínari búskaparfrágreiðing, at búskaparvøkstur... |
It is so much more serious that the government in financial matters reveals that | BLARK_translated | So mikið álvarsligari er tað, at landsstýrið í fíggjarkørmunum avdúkar, at |
The trade union believes that the current financial policy means that households and businesses will continue to worry about the future. | BLARK_translated | Starvsmannafelagið heldur, at verandi fíggjarpolitikkur hevur við sær, at húsarhald og vinnulív fara at halda fram at stúra fyri framtíðini |
In an economy where trust is fundamentally high, wage and price increases are offset by higher taxes and fees, but the government apparently does not intend that to happen in the coming years. If the lawnmower is used against public employees, it is a dangerous form of cutting back that accelerates existing problems. R... | BLARK_translated | Í einum búskapi, har álitið grund- leggjandi er stórt, koma lønar- og príshækkingar innaftur við øktum skatt- um og avgjøldum, men hetta ætlar landsstýrið eftir øllum at døma ikki skal henda næstu árini. Um plenuklipparin verður brúktur mótvegis almennum starvsfólkum, er talan um eina vandamikla sparing, ið skundar und... |
Many of the countries that are badly off today did not have deficits before the financial crisis hit their economies. But when it hit, they got into widespread trouble caused by an unregulated financial sector that put public coffers under excessive pressure. The Faroese also felt the sting of this development. | BLARK_translated | Nógv av teimum londum, sum eru illa fyri í dag, høvdu ikki hall, áðrenn fíggjar- kreppan rakti teirra búskapir. Men tá hon rakti, komu tey í umfatandi trupulleikar orsakað av eini óreguleraðari fíggjarvinnu, sum setti almennu kassarnar undir ovurstýrt trýst. Eisini føroyingar kendu sviðan avw hesi gongd. |
The Nordic countries have historically had public administration and services that have | BLARK_translated | Norðurlond hava søguliga havt almenna fyrisiting og tænastur, ið hava |
Although the Nordic countries rank among the foremost in the world, both when it comes to people’s trust in institutions and administrations of the country and likewise how well the administration and institutions | BLARK_translated | Hóast Norðurlond liggja millum tey fremstu í heimshøpi, bæði tá ið tað snýr seg um at fólk hava álit á stovnum og fyrisitingum undir landinum og somuleiðis, hvussu væl fyrisitingin og stovnar |

Now it seems as if this is not at all some fantasy, but a reality that will make the virtual world or the imagined world just as real as the world you are traveling in right now. | BLARK_translated | Nú tykist tað, sum um hetta als ikki er nakar fantasiur, men ein sannroynd, sum fer at gera virtuella heimin ella tykisheimin líka veruligan sum tann heimin, tú ferðast í beint nú. |
The same can be said about a so-called virtual home called Facebook, which soon almost every Faroese person between 14 and 60 is a part of. | BLARK_translated | Sama kann sigast um ein tykisheim kallaður Facebook, sum skjótt næstan hvør einasti føroyingur millum 14 og 60 er partur av. |
In a reality where the power of money is becoming increasingly ruthless and cynical, and where politicians in no way listen to what the people want or what problems they struggle with in everyday life, but govern and make decisions completely over everyone’s heads, Facebook is like a liberating angel. | BLARK_translated | Í einum veruleika, har peningavaldið verður alt meira rátt og kyniskt, og har politikarar á ongan hátt lurta eftir, hvat fólkið vil, og hvørjar trupulleikar tey stríðast við í gerandis- degnum, men stýra og taka avgerðir fullkomiliga yvir høvdið á øllum, er Facebook sum ein frelsandi eingil. |
In a recent book by Zygmunt Bauman, the sociology professor warns against narcissism, and he is disgusted by the “look at me” culture.

And it is LIFE, Kim is convinced. The boat is built as a lifeboat and all the weight, 15 tons, is in the bottom, so the boat will right itself again, even if it should happen that it capsizes. They | BLARK_translated | Og tað er LÍV, er Kim sannførdur um. Báturin er bygdur sum bjargingarbátur og øll vektin, 15 tons, liggur í neðra, so báturin kemur á rættkjøl aftur, hóast tað skuldi hent, at hann fer runt. Teir |
have also tried him in rather bad weather with higher waves. Kim says that the highest average wave height he has experienced with the boat has been about 10 meters, but although the boat managed very well, so it is very seaworthy. | BLARK_translated | hava eisini roynt hann í rættiliga ringum veðri við høgari aldu. Kim sigur, at mesta miðal alduhæddin, sum hann hevur upplivað við bátinum, hevur verið um 10 metrar, men hóast tað kláraði báturin seg sera væl, so sjógóður hann er. |
The crew numbers 16 people, of whom one is a woman, who has arranged herself on the watches. They stand watch for two weeks and then have two weeks off. All crew must have safety training as seafarers as well as first aid training.

From time to time there are also exercises together with the police, the fire brigade, MRCC and the fisheries inspection. | BLARK_translated | nógvar venjingar saman við tyrluni hjá Atlantic helicopters, samarittunum hjá Reyða krossi og Rescue Ziska.

"The tasks are both many and varied," says Kim. It can be about medical transport, for example from Nólsoy, and sometimes things need to be brought quickly. They have managed to put the stretchers ashore in Nólsoy 17 minutes after the crew received the call. Rescue LÍV has had about 230 assistance tasks since the boat ... | BLARK_translated | Uppgávurnar eru bæði nógvar og ymiskar, sigur Kim.

Otherwise, they also perform other tasks, among others for the police and Tórshavn Municipality. | BLARK_translated | Annars gera tey eisini aðrar uppgávur m.a. fyri politi og Tórshavnar kommunu. |
Both the country's personnel policy and the agreements of the Civil Servants' Union contain concrete provisions designed to ensure that employees continually become more skilled in taking on new challenges. | BLARK_translated | Bæði starvsfólkapolitikkur landsins og sáttmálar Starvsmannafelagsins hava ítøkiligar ásetingar, sum skulu tryggja, at starvsfólkini áhaldandi verða førleikament, at taka við nýggjum avbjóðingum. |
The Workers' Association wants the provisions for developing the staff not to be just empty words, but to actually work in practice. | BLARK_translated | Starvmannafelagið vil, at ásetingarnar at menna starvsfólkini ikki bara vera tóm orð, men veruliga virka í verki. |
Many institutions take the provisions on professional development very seriously, but unfortunately not everyone yet regards this as a necessary and obvious right. | BLARK_translated | Nógvir stovnar taka ásetingarnar um førleikamenning í fullum álvara, men tíverri er tað ikki øll, ið enn eiga hetta sum neyðugan og sjálvsagdan rætt. |
Employees can end up at a dead end and have difficulty finding their footing again in the labor market if their skills are not maintained and developed. This is costly both for the individual and for society as a whole. | BLARK_translated | Starvsfólk kunnu enda í eini blindgøtu og fáa trupult við at fóta sær aftur á arbeiðsmarknaðinum, verða teirra førleikar ikki røktir og mentir. Hetta er dýrt bæði fyri tann einstaka og samfelagið alt. |
Recently we have heard that the coalition intends to reorganize the central administration, where cuts have been announced for both 2015 and 2016. | BLARK_translated | Seinast hava vit hoyrt, at samgongan ætlar at umskipa miðfyrisitingina, har boðað er frá sparingum bæði í 2015 og 2016. |
The public personnel policy and the collective agreement provisions on skills development must be taken seriously. This means that the authorities must learn to make better use of the people who are trained in the public system and continuously ensure that they are skilled enough to take on new challenges. | BLARK_translated | Almenni starvsfólkapolitikkurin og sáttmálaásetingarnar um førleikamennig skulu takst í álvara. Hetta merkir, at myndugleikarnir skulu læra at gagnnýta tey fólkini, sum eru upplærd í almennu skipanini og allatíðina syrgja fyri, at tey verða førleikament at taka við nýggjum avbjóðingum. |
Of course, education and literary competence are both important and essential for progress. | BLARK_translated | Sjálvsagt er útbúgving og bókligur førleiki bæði týðandi og alneyðugur fyri framburð. |
The newspaper discusses skills development and on our website and other online media there is an article from us about the matter. | BLARK_translated | Í blaðnum verður førleikamenning umrødd og á heimasíðu okkara og øðrum netmiðlum liggur grein frá okkum um málið. |
We also intend to map the situation in the area in the coming period. | BLARK_translated | Vit ætla okkum eisini at kortleggja støðuna á økinum í komandi tíðunum. |
Our goal is to ensure for the members of the association and the community that the members' knowledge is preserved, skills are developed, and also used in the best possible way. | BLARK_translated | Okkara mál er at tryggja limum felagsins og samfelagnum, at limanna vitan verður varðveitt, førleikarnir mentir og eisini gagnnýttir á bestan hátt. |
That's what Theresa Turiðardóttir Kreutzmann says, who in October 2011 took over the position as manager at the information office in Tórshavn. She has extensive experience in the tourism industry both here in the Faroe Islands and abroad. | BLARK_translated | Tað sigur Theresa Turiðardóttir Kreutzmann, sum í oktober 2011 tók við starvinum sum leiðari á kunningarstovuni í Havn. Hon hevur drúgvar royndir innan ferðavinnuna bæði her í Føroyum og uttanlands. |
For almost 25 years Theresa has worked in the travel industry. Her interest in this field was truly ignited when she took a position with Atlantic Airways. | BLARK_translated | Í skjótt 25 ár hevur Theresa virkað innan ferðavinnuna. Áhugin fyri hesi vinnu kveiktist av álvara hon kom í starv hjá Flogfelag Føroya. |
The Faroese airline had now been operating for a few years and wanted, it seemed, to become even more visible in its marketing. In that connection Theresa was asked whether she would like to run an office for Atlantic in Copenhagen. | BLARK_translated | Føroyska flogfelagið hevði nú virkað í nøkur ár og vildi sum vera man gerast enn meira sjónligt í marknaðarføringini. Í tí sambandi varð Theresa spurd um um hon ikki vildi reka eina skrivstovu fyri Atlantic í Keypmannahavn. |
to be closer to the airport, and therefore the decision was made that Atlantic would get an office in Kastrup, which also proved to be a good and necessary decision, says Theresa. | BLARK_translated | at vera nærri flogvøllinum, og tí varð avgerð tikin um, at Atlantic fekk sær skrivstovu í Kastrup, sum eisini vísti seg at vera ein góð og neyðug avgerð, sigur Theresa. |
After this she got a job with Air France in Copenhagen. It was a difference to have her own small travel agency and then to get a position with a world-renowned airline, and it also became a great experience for her. | BLARK_translated | Eftir hetta fekk hon starv hjá Air France í Keypmannahavn. Tað var munur á at hava sína egnu lítlu ferðaskrivstovu og so koma í starv hjá einum heimsumfatandi flogfelagi og tað gjørdist henni eisini ein stór uppliving. |
Travelers get the information they need, says Theresa. | BLARK_translated | ferðafólk fáa ta kunning, sum tey hava brúk fyri, sigur Theresa. |
That serves us all best, and if we don’t do that, it can only rebound against us. Overall you get the most out of it if everyone benefits from this industry. Therefore we do a lot to guide people about travel opportunities around the country, depending on how long they travel in the Faroe Islands, because people want a... | BLARK_translated | Tað tænir okkum øllum best, og gera vit ikki tað, kann tað bert koma okkum aftur um brekku. Samanlagt fæst mest burturúr um øll fáa gagn av hesi vinnu. Tí gera vit nógv við at vegleiða fólki um ferðamøguleikar kring landið, alt eftir hvussu leingi tey ferðast í Føroyum, tí fólk ynskja eina so fjølbroytta uppliving sum ... |
There is a lot of talk about emigration and getting people to come back home. Theresa does not doubt that tourism can make a significant contribution here, because tourism involves so many things. It is very important that we have people with good knowledge, and therefore there is definitely a need for people with, for... | BLARK_translated | Nógv verður tosað um fólkafráflyting og at fáa fólk heimaftur. Theresa ivast ikki í, at her kann ferðavinnan geva eitt munagott íkast, tí ferðavinna snýr seg um so mangt. Tað hevur stóran týdning at vit hava fólk við góðari vitan, og tí er avgjørt brúk fyri fólki við eitt nú samfelagsligari útbúgving, umframt at tað he... |
both laypeople and the learned, travelers get the complete picture of us. | BLARK_translated | bæði leikfólk og lærd, fáa ferðafólk ta fullfíggjaðu myndina av okkum. |
