I was more than willing to do the required courses, but neither my employer nor the union were prepared to subsidise it. I did a 6 week deaf awareness course, because at that time we had a couple of deaf members, one who I had represented on a number of occasions. The courses clashed with my shift pattern, and got no paid time off, let alone any help paying for the actual course. The deaf woman was a nasty piece of work anyway, so I though fuck it.You could try learning sign language, as my mother had to do for my grandfather.
