I know you’re having the bantz, but why would teachers not have their teaching experience abroad counted? What engineer, architect, solicitor, electrician, plumber, accountant or whatever comes home from a stint abroad and has the years cancelled off their CV? That makes no sense
A shocking look. I respect what they do but their unions make them look terrible. A lazy fucker look. Ffs just over half an hour a week extra.https://www.echolive.ie/corknews/arid-41368726.html
They never stop whingeing.

Agree. Obviously unions will try to get the best deal they can but talking about strikes over this is completely over the top.A shocking look. I respect what they do but their unions make them look terrible. A lazy fucker look. Ffs just over half an hour a week extra.
My understanding is that years worked abroad ARE recognised for the purposes of increments when Irish teachers return home - as long as they've been working in recognised state schools while abroad. It's only where they've been working in (usually big money) private schools with unknown curricula and/or standards that the experience isn't counted. But of course the whingers would earn less in the state schools....I know you’re having the bantz, but why would teachers not have their teaching experience abroad counted?

The truth is that the Dept of Education are happy acknowledge their experience and offer them positions, but then turn the years abroad against them for their salary only
Big issue with nurses in particular. Have a nice few years in their 20s abroad living the life of Reilly and earning big bucks tax free in Dubai or wherever. Come home with enough cash to buy a house or at least put a big deposit towards, and then start popping out the babies after a couple of years, hardly seen on the wards for half a decade or more, on full pay the whole time.To discourage younger people from doing the same?
By all means go to Dubai when you qualify, but don't expect a red carpet awaiting you when you get back.
Same with doctors and nurses. If you want to settle in Ireland, then by all means do so. But don't think you can spend 10 years taking photos with camels while earning top coin while we sit around waiting for you to come back and start work.
There are plenty of accountants and electricians around the place, and tbh any fucking idiot could be a solicitor, so they don't get the same premium when they go to Dubai or Abu Dhabi, and consequently we don't have this same issue with those professions.
Teachers and nurses however are in high demand and young Irish people qualifying in those professions know that they can exploit that with a few lucrative years abroad before rocking back into Ireland. Well the teachers have been shown that it's not that easy. Loyalty works both ways.
