Why is it so important to be a member of our Union?
Child care workers won the right to organize in 2006. By joining together to make our voices heard, SEIU 503 Child Care Providers won increased wages and benefits through the collective bargaining process and are now a part of our contract. Through our union, we also have a strong voice to advocate for child care providers and the families we serve in the Capitol as well as at the bargaining table. The larger and more active our membership, the stronger our union.
