Germany and the child care education workers strike in June 2015- national priorities and a question on wages of service workers
06/05/2015
Should child care workers required to have 3 years of training and often a college degree make the same as entry level workers in manufacturing, even after they have worked in the field for many years, is the question about national priorities that is being posed in Germany in 2015. Has Germany's economic revival left behind many workers outside manufacturing, who lack the strong representation of manufacturing unions, including workers in a field so closely allied with education- early child care education which takes place in child care centers.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
