Koza/Ellensohn, Greens: Deletion of the training surcharge for social welfare educators: Inside, future perspectives robbed future perspectives

Not even decided in the National Council, Vienna has now announced that it will be deleted on the increased training surcharge on June 30th. So far, the increased training surcharge has also stood up for social welfare educators: inside that visited longer AMS training. “Now we know at least where there are concrete austerity priorities of the Viennese city government after Rot-Pink has largely failed to do so: among other things, by further training and qualification from social assistance, among other things, that wants to be in sustainable employment. Green. People with low qualifications are affected by unemployment much more often, which also burden the AMS and social welfare budgets.

Markus Koza, social spokesman for the Greens in the National Council, adds: “The abolition of the training surcharge is wrong and short -sighted in terms of social policy. According to the Ministry of the Ministry of Effect, the savings volume in the training surcharge for social welfare proceedings is just 17 million euros a year. Additional income from taxes and levies bring and reduces spending on social assistance. “

Koza and Ellensohn note: “If the federal government can afford additional costs from the budget of 700 million euros that have arisen with the increase in health insurance contributions for pensioners, and if this federal government believes that it is completely senseless to be able to give away a further 470 million euros to tax gifts – who are often men – then the budget consolidation cannot of the training surcharge.
