Disclaimer: I don't mean to discredit any other worker who's currently being underpaid and overworked in any other industry. I just wanted to be a voice for childcare/aged care workers as I haven't seen many posts acknowledging this. The wealth gap keeps growing and growing. The working class need to stick together and hold CEO'S and other higher ups accountable. It isn't right. CEO's wouldn't be anything without their workers.
Idk if this constitutes for an anti-work post, but I just find it disgusting how grossly underpaid and overworked these workers are. They're literally the backbone of our society, but are treated like jokes. Honestly, how tf are CEO'S of aged care and childcare facilities paid so much? Shouldn't that money go into the pockets of the workers? Or into new equipment? You'll find that most childcare and aged care facilities are using out of date equipment. Hoists are typically underserviced, childcare toys are centuries old. These owners would be nothing without their staff. I've worked in both industries and even in a developed country like NZ, workers are still treated as commodities. No covid hazard pay. Shitty working conditions. Barely any updated/new equipment (hoists are out of service, childcare toys that are broken/centuries years old) What is going on? lmao
