Problems in Tyrol – Childcare once for free, then pure luxury

There are major differences in the Tyrolean communities in terms of childcare: although it is free in one community, the costs will fall again a few kilometers. This “wage jungle” is hardly transparent for the Fritz list and party leader Andrea Haselwanter-Schneider.

The first inconsistencies are already available for the little ones: while nursery schools are free in the morning, surcharges are made in the afternoon that are on top of it. Similar to the cribs of children. “To standardize the rates is correct. It is not possible that childcare will ever be luxurious and once free,” said Haselwanter-Schneider.

Mediation becomes difficult without a financial injection
If the Fritz list is based, more and more local leaders warn that an adjustment causes costs that would not be removed. That is why a financing obligation from the country is needed, otherwise “nothing” is nothing to get the legal right to give childcare “is the criticism of the opposition party.

An extra factor is also the payment for elementary educators. These must be paid fairly. From now on, only 36 would only be paid for 40 hours worked. “Some municipalities have responded and paid for at least three years,” said the party leader, who goes further: “Many affected people fall over for many years because the claims are time.”

The Tyrol communities already have difficulty giving supervision. Some municipalities offer contracts with public holidays or five weeks of vacation to give staff “competitors”.
