The Executive and Members at CUPE 2204 are really excited about our new friends and followers on Facebook! We're excited to be better connected to all of you and working in solidarity with community members and labour activists all over. We are incredibly grateful for your support during the YMCA Childcare Strike! We couldn't have done it without your help!

Join us at Taggart from 7-11 a.m. + 2-6 p.m., at Avalon from 7-11 a.m. + 2-6 p.m., and at Ruddy from 7-11 a.m.!

The ECEs, EAs and kitchen workers at the Y don’t want any interruption to the services they provide; they want a fair deal that will protect the quality of the child care services they provide. Let the Y know that you support child care workers.

Go to http://cupe.ca/fairnessattheY to sign our petition to ask the National Capital Region YMCA-YWCA to support and protect quality childcare!

We're working on getting a fair deal by our strike deadline at midnight tonight. We'll be handing out this flyer at our info picket today from 3-6 pm at the Taggart YMCA (180 Argyle). Join us and help support the YMCA's childcare workers. We'll have free ice cream and other treats from a local ice cream truck!

Childcare workers are ALL underpaid for crucial care work they do. Ottawa YMCA pays below average wages. We want better!

Staff at Dalhousie Day Care know the importance of quality childcare for our youngest Canadians

The Conservative baby bribe? Voters aren't buying it. They're smart enough to know that the Universal Child Care Benefit gets rolled back at tax time and barely pays for two days of child care per month. Vote to stop the cuts. And for universal, affordable child care.

Too many families are struggling to find child care. Others worry about the quality of care they have. Most of us are left patching together child care we can afford.
