Re: Welsh required for jobs
surely this is it discriminatory against those who do not speak Welsh in a widely English speaking country

Re: Welsh required for jobs
I don’t see this as much of a problem as long as Drakeford is happy to foot the bill for the cost of staff to learn Welsh to a “courtesy” level.

Local councils are quick to employ interpreters for many languages, why is Welsh any different? |

It’s our national language?

Re: Welsh required for jobs
Whatever way you look at it, the predominant and primary language in Wales, is English.
Welsh is a secondary language. How many Welsh-only speakers are they likely to hire? None, because would create problems dealing with the majority English speakers. Therefore pretty much all Welsh speakers can speak English anyway, so everybody that they have to deal with, can speak a language other than Welsh. Pure bias, with no justification whatsoever. |

Bias towards their own national language and wanting to help keep it alive...who'd have thought it eh? |

Re: Welsh required for jobs
Drakeford (The Undertaker) seems to think that Wales is a bilingual country, and not a country with 2 languages, one of which is used far more than the other.
"You are by far the best candidate for the job. Do you speak Welsh?" "No". "Would you be prepared to learn Welsh?" "No". "Then the job is not yours". |

But they're not, are they? Read the article, they're being given 6 months to pick it up. Welsh is one of the easiest languages for non-English speaking people to pick up. Lots of jobs expect you to learn new skills in a given timeframe, why is this any different? |
