SFU Childcare Centre job action starts Monday

BURNABY
Rotating job action is set to begin at SFU's Childcare Society
Monday.
Workers have given parents advanced notice that one out twelve
day cares will be closed each day of the week.
Chris Mullen with the BCGEU says the union has done its best
to have a minimal impact on families, but admits the job action
will be an inconvenience if it stretches into the school year.
He says several faculty members have already expressed concerns
about the job action.
The union says wages haven't kept up over the years and members
are subsidizing the childcare society by working for less. |
