Pension Parity and Working Conditions for School Secretaries and Caretakers: Fórsa

2:00 am

Mr. David Hearne:

Obviously in our role as caretakers we can get injured on the job. If we do, we are not entitled to any sick leave. Nothing. We have to go to the Department of social welfare and get funding off it. If a colleague of ours who is a teacher trips in school, twists his or her ankle and is out for a week, he or she is paid for that. It is two totally different levels.
