  1. Why is it so important to be a member of our Union?
  2. Where can we turn if our pay is late or we don’t understand our rights on the job?

  1. 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.

  2. Where can we turn if our pay is late or we don’t understand our rights on the job?

    SEIU 503 member leaders and organizers at the Member Resource Center (MRC) regularly help child care providers navigate paperwork and understand their contract and their rights. Our MRC phone number is 1.844.503.SEIU.
