Hello,
My intent in joining is to hear what other lis. providers know about unionizing, among other things.
First off, I am from Minnesota. We are in the process now, and I am a strong believer in unions. I have been with AFL-CIO as a stewart and a negotiator, I understand when unions are needed and when they are not. Thing is with daycare there is so many lies out there, so many unanswered questions and sooooo many people that spread untruths. I just am not convinced it will really help us. I know that it is not true..that we have to pass the dues onto parents, that you only pay if you have subsidized families, that the union wants to run our daycare....... so untrue!!! However my problem lies in the part where we will have more to say in the laws... this is out of our hands for the most part, and what isn't, we could group together and fight anyway. I just don't think I want to pay monthly to do it. Daycare is no guarantee of a pay check... it's just never has been! I have been in daycare 30 years, and I know. So what do we get? Insurance? Really? How?
I want the union to prove something to me.
Please let me know if you have a union in your state? Thanks~ callmemom
