Premieres “head roll” – Bygdeposten

It was last week administration in Upper Spokes sent out the note which employees are asked to participate in brainstorming session to reduce positions. Here it is also allowed to have an opinion about someone else’s work. This is justified by the municipality’s financial situation.

It also says that the trade union will award the three best proposals with 2,000 pounds each.

The submitted proposals can also be treated confidentially if desired.

Strange double role

– I think the double role of the trade union is interesting. At worst, they will assist an employee in a process to terminate his employment, while simultaneously premieres another employee to have come up with the idea that lead to the resignation, says a concerned employee who has contacted Bygdeposten.

Head of the Norwegian Union of Upper Spokes municipality, Knut Sjulsen, admits that the text of the note may be somewhat poorly worded.

– There is no question that some will enter Associates. But we must save the equivalent of 20 jobs this year, says Sjulsen.

He says that brainstorming session, which is part of the tripartite cooperation must be seen as an opportunity to find solutions.

It says nothing of note how one has thought that the cut in positions to take place.

Surprised

– I must admit that I am slightly surprised that the staff interpreters invitation negative. It seems I do not there are grounds to do. The city manager and I will be happy, if there is a need to clarify any misunderstandings, said Mayor Ann Sire Fjerdingstad.

municipality has a tight economy and must adapt.

The paper can be read, the council has said that future savings not only can be done in initiatives aimed at residents but also by looking at cuts in labor costs. The community should now consider all types of jobs in the community, management and administrative positions included.

Expertise

– The employees’ skills and experience are very important in this restructuring process, not least because they can easily see new possibilities and solutions. There may also be new ways to solve tasks that go across sectors and responsibilities. That is why we ask employees to think again, says Fjerdingstad

The submitted proposals will be considered in a joint meeting between management and union representatives.

– I am pleased with the commitment that organizations and staff shows. That union local will also help with prizes for good suggestions, I think is great, says the mayor.

want quick answers

Administration will provide feedback on the restructuring work of the council in June, and it is indicated in the note that you therefore wish that the proposals are notified as soon as possible.

Reply to EVP Rinnan – Buy publication

This notwithstanding, I should probably say that Rinnan not entirely accurate in his statement. It attaches not a corporate director to talk down their own company, but one could perhaps expect that a person at this level in a large company had tabs on the concepts and data and a greater level of precision. We can take it point by point:

1 challenges with the electricity prices affect the possibility of return to the owner municipalities. Rinnan writes in its response: “‘. Although not so that it threatens the annual payout of approx. 300 million to our shareholders in the coming years. ” The 300 million divided into 200 million in dividends and 105 million in interest on subordinated loans. However, we can read a more reserved rating in the note to the owner municipalities from autumn 2013, “Falling the price level down to 20 cents / kWh and remains at this level, it is hardly acceptable to the Board and maintain a dividend level of approx. NOK 200 million. ” Such price level is probably realistic, therefore alerts Eidsiva need for changes in the shareholder agreement and yield will be reduced.

2 Eidsiva book equity has decreased from $ 7.467 million per. 31.12.10 NOK 5.095 million per. 31.12.13. This is significant exercise was done in 2010, when 1.5 billion of equity was converted into subordinated debt and $ 750 million of equity capital was paid back to the owners. By ownership municipalities came Hamar particularly well, they had a lot of investment in time, with a payment of 167 million. In addition, this resulted in a tax savings of about 60 million annually. It dripped a little on all own communities, so this was all for, but now in the wake of low electricity prices, one can ask the question of how wise this outline was.

3 Rinnan states that inland municipalities and counties own one of the country’s more solid companies. It is clear that there is value in the company – power plants, power lines, incinerators, electric direksjonsbil, holiday in Hafjell etc. But all companies need while ample liquidity. My simple point in the first post was that of NOK 230 million in the bank at year end, so calling warning bells. The obligations of payments for 2014 is as far as I can see: Dividends to shareholders of $ 200 million tax of $ 350 million, repayment of debt of $ 350 million Combined, this £ 900 million. You obviously need to borrow.

4 I should also point out some other obvious errors in Rinnans accordingly. He writes that the net value is 9500000000. How can that be right with its own information about the asset value is level approx. £ 6 billion. Furthermore, he states, debt to U.S. $ 5 billion. Preliminary results for 2013 provide a debt of 10.9 billion. Thus also claim that Eidsiva have more equity than debt failures, it is approx. 32 percent.

There is urgent need for a more critical attitude to the development of Eidsiva. Do Municipalities must take a more proactive role through business meeting. One of the summaries of those investigated Troms Kraft, was that business meeting where slept, everything was settled in her room, the organ was hardly a sandpåstrøer. In order not to end up in the same situation, must be required to give an account of the public in an academically stronger than the Rinnan performing here. It is not wrong to discuss the group’s weaknesses openly, it is a weakness not to do it. We – the citizens and the electricity customers – must on the one hand be confident that the administration of the group not mislead owners into thinking Eidsiva will continue to provide major contributions to municipal operating budget. On the other hand, do not ambitious mayors suggest new antics with equity. Eidsiva will primarily produce and deliver electricity to a proper price for the customers and the company’s need for investment and maintenance.

Eirik Vatnøy, Forfatter av «En liberal mediepoltikk», Civita

I forrige uke publiserte vi Civita-notatet «En liberal mediepolitikk i et endret mediemarked». Dagbladets kommentator Andreas Wiese svarte med kritikk av flere av våre forslag.

En første kritikk gjelder den direkte pressestøtten. Vi foreslår at den ikke bare styres av antall abonnenter, men også av kvalitet: Bidrar mediet med noe nytt og viktig? Wiese mener en slik endring vil gi staten mer makt. Innvendingen er god. En forutsetning i vårt forslag er at forvaltningen legges til en aktør med stor nok avstand til staten.

Krav til kvalitet kan være gunstig fordi sentrale elementer i dagens ordning er blitt uklare. Før hadde ett sted gjerne én sosialistisk og én borgerlig avis. Da var nummer-to-avisene viktige. I dag kan én avis tenkes å være bedre enn to dårlige. Videre er det uklart både hva en lokal og en riksspredt avis er. Hvis regionale medier utvikler «superlokale» tilbud, er de da lokale? Når alle nettmedier er tilgjengelige overalt, er de da riksspredte? Kanskje er ikke de mest spennende meningene å finne i Vårt Land eller Dagsavisen? En mer kvalitativ ordning kan i større grad bidra til en mangfoldig demokratisk offentlighet.

En andre kritikk gjelder at vi ønsker momsfritak for alle medier, slik at de tjener mer på å ta brukerbetaling. Det blir stadig vanskeligere å skille mellom medier: Skal avisens helgemagasiner ha momsfritak, men ikke ukeblader? Skal Aftenpostens magasiner ha momsfritak, men ikke kulturtidsskrifter? Bør eventuell brukerbetaling på VG TV få momsfritak, men ikke TV 2 Sumo? Lik behandling er rimelig når mediene nærmer seg hverandre. En slik likebehandling finner man i andre land, som Sverige. Det kan bli dyrt, mener Wiese. Men når mediene blir digitale, er det ikke sikkert at prislappen blir så høy.

En tredje kritikk gjelder forslaget om at NRK skal satse mer på kvalitet og krevende journalistikk og mindre på sport og barn og unge. Vi mener at når vi har stadig flere medier, bør NRK være mer kresne og prioritere det viktigste. Det gir ikke lenger mening å kreve at NRK skal være noe for alle, alltid. NRK.no trenger ikke å ligne på Dagbladet.no, men kan legge større vekt på dybde og kvalitet. Wiese mener at dette fort blir et elitistisk NRK. Det er vi ikke enige i. Kringkasterens mål må være å tilby noe vesentlig og opplysende til så mange som mulig.

Vi er derimot enige med Wiese i at NRK må ivareta de viktigste barneprogrammene. Likevel må man spørre seg om rundt 5000 timer barne-TV er i overkant mye, og om det er nødvendig å fylle en hel kanal med innhold som i hovedsak er innkjøpt fra utlandet. I dag har NRK en dominans i dette markedet som gjør det vanskelig for andre å satse.
