Pennsylvania Child Care Workers Unite for a Voice at Work

Maplewood Nursing Home employees celebrate their vote to join AFSCME.

No trick, all treat, for more than 3,700 home-based child care workers across Pennsylvania who voted to join a union yesterday. By a whopping 96 percent to 4 percent margin, the workers became members of Child Care Providers UNITED (CCP UNITED), a joint venture affiliated with both AFSCME and SEIU.

The vote for the new union caps a decades-long effort by teachers and aides to create a union that fits the field of early childhood education and provides quality education for children, as well as better jobs and careers for educators.
