I work for a small center, I don't get paid very high but I love what I do. My problem is my place of employement has NO benefits. I recently got married to a wonderful man, but I lost my title 19 for my children ( from 1st marriage ). I've tried to do everything myself, my ex doesn't pay anything. I do need insurance for my children and myself if possible. The cheapest I could find will cost me $400 a month. Now me and my husband make enough to get by comfortably, but paying out of pocket like this is a hard hit. I've stayed where I'm at cuz my boss is going to sell me the business in a few years when she retires. This is an awesome opportunaty for me. Now I'm afraid I might have to let it go to find employement with insurance. If they do form a union I'm hoping it happens soon. Home child care I feel is in a different ranking with union issues, then what I'm looking at. Name: Email: Subject
