Now is the time to join the movement led by and for Child Care Workers!
Child care workers across Ontario are uniting through CUPE to raise the floor on working conditions, wages and rights!
Thousands of childcare workers like you – including educators, assistants, cooks and cleaners – are unionized with CUPE. That creates incredible resources, support, and power to shape the future of work in the sector.
With the creation of the $10/Day program, child care workers at all centres need a strong collective voice.
Child care workers continue to deliver safe, high-quality care to families across Ontario, but too often they are underpaid, overworked, and left without a voice on the job. With the creation of the $10 a day program, child care workers need a strong collective voice by and for workers.
CUPE is leading campaigns to put the voice of child care workers front and center for better funding, higher wages, solutions to the staffing crisis, and respect that all childcare workers need and deserve. Over 6,500 child care workers including educators, assistants, cooks and cleaners working in centres across Ontario are united through CUPE to build the power it will take to raise our labour standards.
When workers organize and join a union, they win better pay, safer working conditions, job security, and respect. We know that there are many non-union childcare centres across the region. If we want to raise standards for the whole sector, we need to reach out and connect with more workers. That’s where we need your support.
