California child care providers have voted unanimously to ratify their first labor contract with the state.
The agreement ratified by Child Care Providers United promises raises for more than 40,000 home-based providers who care for kids from low-income families through state subsidy programs.
The union announced the results in a Facebook livestream Monday night, saying 99.6% of members who voted supported the contract
“Our record speaks for itself. We get it done,” said Sacramento child care provider Charlotte Neal during the livestream. “We have an opportunity to fix California s broken childcare system. Our work is not done. We have just begun.”
Eda, who works at Boki Coffee, just a few metres down Olympic Way in Boxpark, said it will be refreshing to return to normality when the crowds come back, “but it’s also a bit concerning, because we can still see that some people don’t wear masks, and don’t care about social distancing .
“If people are following the rules, and social distancing, and respecting one another, it will be fine,” she continued, adding that she is sceptical about whether people will stick to the guidelines.
Passer-by Warren said he was looking forward to “a bit of a return to the norm”, but that he hopes that “it isn’t happening too soon, that it affects us, making us go back into lockdown”.

When you look after your people, you also teach them to look after themselves – that’s a little thought that sprung to mind when reflecting on the past nine months. In a year that brought us more peaks and troughs than a loop-the-loop rollercoaster, HR teams have had a big job on their hands managing the impact of COVID-19.
We won’t list everything HR Heroes have dealt with – we’d be here all day – but something really important that 2020 has shone an even brighter spotlight on is employee wellbeing. It was the buzzword of 2018-19 and perhaps previously viewed as something that was a ‘nice to have’ – an add-on to a suite of employee benefits.
