The workplace
| word | meaning |
|---|---|
| vinnustaðurinn | the workplace |
| stéttarfélagið | the trade union |
| launahækkunin | the pay rise |
Iceland is one of the most unionized countries in the world — nearly everyone belongs to a stéttarfélag, and it is who you ask about your rights.
reka — two meanings at work
reka is to run a business (Hún rekur lítið fyrirtæki í bænum.) and also to fire someone (reka úr vinnunni). Context decides.
Signing off
kveðjan is the greeting or sign-off — letters and emails end með bestu kveðju, with best regards.
