Żminijietna – Voice of the Left
stressed that “although Government's provision for universal childcare services
was a big step forward, conditions of employment need to improve and further
regulation is needed".
“Żminijietna is highly concerned
with the inferior conditions of employment that the workers in this sector find
themselves in. Childcarers are experiencing low wages and precariousness in
both the public and the private sector, and this is leading to a high turnover
of workers"
"Government should ensure that
wages in both the public and private sectors increase, so as to reflect the
high level of responsibility that childcarers have in the education of children
in crucial years of their personal development".
"Unionisation of childcarers
should also be ensured without delay. Żminijietna supports MUT in its struggle
to organize this sector and to improve the conditions of work. Workers should
be allowed to choose full-time employment".
