Getting Organized: Unionizing Home-Based Child Care Providers
Unions have begun organizing home-based child care providers, both regulated family child care providers and “family, friend, and neighbor” care providers receiving public funds, with the goal of improving provider working conditions, increasing their compensation, and strengthening the quality of child care they offer. Gains have included higher payment rates, increased access to health insurance, and new opportunities for training. Unions are also working to improve policies related to child care assistance to ensure that these policies are easier to understand and navigate for both providers and parents. Getting Organized: Unionizing Home-Based Child Care Providers and 2010 Update to that report examine this movement.
