Next batch of future hostages (en francais)

Any wonder why the country's public sector unions are such big supporters of an institutionalized National Daycare program?

One more bargaining chip for the future. One way or another, you're going to pay, whether you like it or not.

Child care workers from the Come and Play Day Nursery have voted unanimously to become members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees.

The 17 child care workers and early childhood educators voted to join CUPE in a certification vote supervised by the Ontario Labour Relations Board on Wednesday.

"Our new members will now benefit from being part of Canada's biggest union, representing the largest number of child care workers," said Laura Moore, CUPE national representative.

"Joining CUPE is the first step for child care workers to improve wages, benefits and working conditions," said Moore. "We are committed to helping child care workers by organizing non-unionized workers, so they can enjoy the full support and resources of CUPE."
