Workers at Balmy Beach Daycare Centre are at the heart of our community, and we love the work that we do.
We are currently in bargaining with the employer, but remain far apart on key issues, including wages and sick leave. Our wages are below the average for the sector, and we are currently unable to bank sick leave, meaning that when we become ill for extended periods, we have to rely on employment insurance in order to make ends meet.
Workers are also seeking improvements to working conditions that will improve the quality of care for your children, including more dedicated time for programming.
We need your help to get a fair deal that supports workers and improves our working conditions and the care we provide for your family.
Our local has held a strike vote, and is preparing for a strike, if necessary.
We need your help to avoid a strike!
Please take a moment to send a letter to the employer and let them know you support a fair deal for CUPE Local 2484 workers
