The list submitted by the Nomination Committee and the Council of Representatives of Efling Trade Union for the union’s executive board for the 2026 to 2028 term has been elected unopposed. This became clear at noon today, 26 January 2026, as no alternative candidate lists were submitted. The new board will formally take office at the annual general meeting on 26 March.
Sólveig Anna Jónsdóttir will therefore continue as Chair of Efling for the next two years. She says she is pleased to enjoy the continued trust of the union’s members and looks forward to her ongoing work on behalf of Efling.
“The board of Efling is united, disciplined, and ready to fight. Our objective remains unchanged, that the union should be at the forefront of the struggle for workers’ rights in Iceland,” says Sólveig Anna.
The board consists of the Chair and the Treasurer, along with six additional board members. In addition, two auditors and one deputy auditor were appointed. Other board members were elected for two-year terms last year.
