A union is the only thing that will force corporate owned childcare to reconsider the poverty level wages they offer their staff. Without the staff of hardworking teachers, no corporation would exist in daycare, yet they do not honor, respect, or provide teachers with a livable wage. I agree with bobbiann that the government should not subsidize more childcare for working parents. That is just more money out of my pocket (TAXES) to help parents make more money and pay less for childcare. Parents are paying enough, but it is being kept at the top. A union gives workers the power of a strike, negotiations, and a voice. Pilots, nurses, teachers, ...most professions have depended on a union to fight for their share. Name: Email: Subject
