Child care workers are skilled professionals. They create the kinds of creative, nurturing environments children need to grow. When early childhood educators, cooks, and cleaners from Glebe Parents’ Day Care, Vanier Co-operative School Age Program, Dalhousie Parents’ Day Care, and Centretown Parents Day Care went to the bargaining table for a new deal, they were met with a smokescreen and half truths.
What they have done is try and divide worker from worker, offering one group a better wage than another. But these workers won’t be divided – and all workers deserve a decent wage just like all families deserve to know that the people caring for their children are compensated with wage increases that keep up with the cost of living.
