I note that creche workers are taking the protest route next month because of the need of further qualifications foisted on them. These additional qualifications need to be paid for and in most cases the employers are not paying for such courses. The cost is to the worker. The worker is on minimum wage or perhaps a little over it.
There may be need for such qualifications in creches. Should the employer pay?
Another thing, in general is the working population being "Qualified Out"? There are jobs out there that the employer wants minimum of 3rd Level qualifications for low level jobs. Some of these jobs can be done by somebody with the basest of education. Is anybody going to cry halt?
