The list of the nomination committee and the board of trustees Efling union for the board of directors of the company for the term 2026 to 2028 is considered self-elected. This became clear at noon, January 26, 2026, as no other candidate lists were submitted. A new board will therefore take office at the annual general meeting on March 26.


Sólveig Anna Jónsdóttir will therefore remain chair Efling for the next two years. She says she is delighted to enjoy the trust of her colleagues and looks forward to continuing her work at Efling . 


" Efling management is cohesive, disciplined and combative. Our goal is the same as it has always been, for the company to be at the forefront of the wage struggle for workers in Iceland," says Sólveig Anna. 


These include the chairman of the company and the treasurer, along with six co-directors. In addition, two auditors and one alternate were appointed. Other board members were elected for two-year terms last year.


The newly elected Efling board of directors is as follows:

The Efling board fully supports the resolution of the Central Committee of the Icelandic People's Union on the illegal war of aggression by the United States and Israel against Iran, see here: In the first hours of the illegal attacks, the United States had bombed an Iranian elementary school and killed nearly two hundred girls and their teachers. Everything indicates that this was an intentional act, but such a thing is a gross violation of international law and treaties. We support the demands that the crime be investigated and those responsible be held accountable before a war crimes tribunal. The attacks by the United States and Israel on Iran are a violation of the country's sovereignty and the indisputable right of the Iranians to determine their own destiny. The attack is unprovoked, is a crime against peace and a war crime, and thus violates the United Nations Charter. This is a gross violation of the entire international legal system established in the wake of the war crimes committed in World War II, an act that civilized nations have a duty to resist. The Efling government demands that the Icelandic government condemn the war actions of the United States and Israel. The Icelandic government cannot fail to contribute to the fight for peaceful relations between the nations of the world.
