+52,kvf,"“When they contact the police, they are referred to a trade union."
+53,kvf,"But, as we have heard recently, the trade unions are overburdened with migrant worker issues, so these people have nowhere to go,” she explains."
+54,kvf,"“And many migrant workers are not members of a trade union, which obviously makes their situation even more difficult.”"
+55,kvf,"Medical professionals are reporting a rise in harassing behaviour, prompting concerns about their safety and work environment."

+68,kvf,"As a consequence, the union has restricted such assistance and now passes on cases to government agencies for processing."
+69,kvf,"“A major obstacle for us in this context is that many of the migrant workers who contact us do not speak English, and many of them are not even members of our union,” says Georg F. Hansen, who heads Føroya Arbeiðarafelag."

+78,kvf,“We’re moving away from manually discounting near-expiry items. We now use a program which identifies expiring items and recommends discounts.”
+79,kvf,"The new system applies to most groceries, but it cannot be used for fruits and vegetables."

+81,kvf,"Danish International Adoption, DIA, announced on Tuesday that it ceases to provide international adoption assistance."
+82,kvf,"As Faroese adoption is processed through the DIA, this means that it is currently not possible to adopt children to the Faroes."
