Self -Employed MPs Shading on Labor Day

Former Independence Party MP says the union leaders’ self -tackles are shading on the labor day today. He directs his spears at MPs Ragnar Thor Ingolfsson from the People’s Party and Kristján Þórður Snæbjarnarson from the Social Democratic Party.

Sigurður Kári Kristjánsson, a former Independent Party MP, puts down a pen at Facebook on the occasion of May 1st and says another taste this year than before.

« Today, the Labor Day is held in the shadow of this self -esteem, » writes Sigurður Kári, who is now a board member of the airline Play.

He refers to MA to the fact that VR leaders « decided with open eyes » to pay Ragnar Þór Ingolfsson over 10 million ISK in retirement from VR’s funds when he resigned as chairman and took a seat in parliament for the People’s Party.

In addition, he points out that the Icelandic Electricity Association has entered into a termination agreement with Kristján Þórð when he took a seat in the Althingi for the Social Democratic Alliance, which secured him « huge pay payments » from the union in June 2025 as well as parliamentary purchases.

It is also unlikely that the President of ASÍ, Finnbjörn Hermannsson, has publicly declared that he does not intend to have an opinion on these « elite terms of the elite ».

« Inspired by the unions today on the improved terms of general workers, justice them and the improvement in the labor market lose a completely mark while they themselves go through this way through the funds of their clients in favor of the selected. »

In this context, it is also mentioned Þórarinn Eyfjörð, the former chairman of Sameyki, who resigned from the chairmanship early in October last year. His retirement contract costs the company just under ISK 70 million. However, he is not mentioned in Sigurd’s post.

Misses Gunnar Smári’s opinion

He points out that before Gunnar Smári Egilsson became a socialist leader, he was a regular mediator in the media about politics. « I remember well when he in some episode, probably Silfri Egil, finished (so) the political parties with robbers who walked around society with all kinds of arrests. I did not agree with Gunnar Smári then, rather than I am now, » he writes.

« But I do not miss hearing his attitude and other political and union leaders from the left wing to how trade unions have disposed of large-scale funds from workers ‘funds and into the pockets of the companies’ pockets for that reason,

He says that it will be no better than that the description that Gunnar Smári has used on the political parties today applies to the trade unions today than the political parties.

« Namely, the managers of the companies have gone through the funds of workers that for the outgoing unions’ chairmen, it is equivalent to a lot of lottery winning them into Congress.
