NEWS AND PROGRESS 2004
fólk, sum arbeiða saman byggja og bera ein
felags identitet - og skapa sína egnu
yrkismentan.
Dentur verður eisini lagdur á sosialisat-
ión, og hetta sæst í skipanini av ymsum
lossingum. Harnæst eru plássini í sjálvari
lossingini greinað. í hesum sambandi verð-
ur latið upp fyri teirri mentalu samvirkanini
í arbeiðs- og mannagongdini.
Lossingin í nevnda tíðarskeiði var eitt
arbeiði sum mestsum einans hevði dagleig-
arar í vinnu. Ein nærri viðgerð er av so-
nevndu uppstillingini við pakkhurðina, tá
ið arbeiðsformaðurin tók burturúr manna-
múgvuni, ið møtti upp, og sum søguligt
fyribrigdi virkaði skipanin sum nervalagið
í arbeiðsumhvørvinum. Setanin av monn-
um til eina lossing í senn var ørkymlandi,
men tó góðkend siðvenja og treytað av
einum trúnaðarsambandið millum menn og
formann.
Við atliti at uppstillingini verður roynt at
endurskapa tann leysa dagleigaralívsform-
in, og víst verður til felags eyðkenni og
mynstur hjá monnum, sum hava lossað, og
til onnur sum høvdu samband og tilknýti til
umhvørvið á Eystarubryggju, á Kaiini.
I sambandi við endurskapanina av dag-
leigaratilveruni eru stakmyndir av arbeiðs-
marknaðinum í býnum í 1950-60-árunum.
Hesar siga, hvar tyngdin lá, hvar ið serligt
virksemi var og hvønn týdning lossingin
hevði á privata arbeiðsmarknaðinum í
Havn.
Ymiskt við tilknýti til dagleigaralívs-
formin og við atliti at stættahugtakinum
verður tikið fram, fyrst av øllum mentan-
arligir mótsetningar í býnum og somuleiðis
tann almenna arbeiðaramentanin. Sjálv-
adaptability and the interaction between
people and tools - what position and atti-
tude you have towards both your work and
the environment. People working together
build and carry a common work identity.
The functions at work are results of social
connections, of mutual interaction and the
places directly connected with discharging
are discussed.
Discharging should be regarded as an or-
ganized working process, as a social micro
system. However, it should also be regard-
ed as a hierarchy as the work force in the
‘conventional’ days was divided between a
few regular workers and a majority of ca-
sual workers. But all the dockers had the
system of hiring and firing in common. The
lining up at the door of the storehouse
when the foreman picked men out from the
crowd and their fate, as it were, was decid-
ed for that day. Without exaggeration, it
may be claimed that the moment contained
a sense of drama, of excitement, envy, in-
gratiation, and anger, followed by relief,
pride and happiness, or by disappointment,
frustration, fear, humiliation and silent ac-
ceptance. The hiring and firing was a cus-
tom. Other aspects can also be found in this
phenomenon and the analysis has been
supplemented by examples.
Although people are united in the same
class it must also be acknowledged that
people belonging to the same class are also
disconnected - they are heterogeneous.
Within the working class there are ways of
living but in the narrow and limited Faer-
oese community it does not seem possible
to indicate or recreate more than two, the
more regular hands and the casual way of
