More Head Start Workers
C.A.R.E.
On May 12, child care workers at the Early Childhood Learning Center (ECLC) in Cairo voted overwhelmingly in favor of organizing with SEIU Local 200United. The new unit at the Greene County Head Start provider became a part of Local 200United's Campaign for Action, Respect, and Equality (C.A.R.E.) in order to improve their own working conditions while remaining committed to improving ECLC's program and insuring a bright future for the children they work with and nurture every day.
These dedicated child care professionals will now have a voice, both on the job and in the halls of Congress, where Head Start funding is being threatened with huge cutbacks. Nationwide, more than 10,000 Head Start workers have joined together in SEIU for a stronger voice in Washington, DC.
ECLC of Greene County emmployees are the second group of Head Start workers to join Local 200United's 12,000-member union in less than a year. Workers at Albany County Opportunity, Inc. won their union in June 2003.
