Detroit, MI (1888PressRelease)
June 12, 2009 - In 2006, Providers Voted Overwhelmingly to Organize a Union in Partnership With the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) and the United Auto Workers (UAW).
The Providers’ Union is called Child Care Providers Together Michigan (CCPTM). There are Forty Thousand (40,000) Providers Across Michigan and Eight Thousand (8,000) in Wayne County.
When Michigan's child care providers made Child Care Providers Together Michigan (CCPTM) official, one of our first acts was electing a team of providers to represent us at the bargaining table.
Our bargaining committee comes from every corner of the state and includes relative providers as well as licensed and registered child care providers.
After Holding our First-Ever Meeting With the Michigan Home-Based Child Care Council on April 17, 2007, We were Finally Able to Speak out in a way That Will Produce Some Real Results! Our Goals Still Remain: to Increase Pay and Benefits and to Win New Incentives so That Providers ca do Their jobs Better.
