CUPE has launched a national campaign aimed at celebrating early learning and childcare.
Through the “Let’s shine a light on early learning and child care” initiative, the union is looking to collect personal stories from parents, operators, and ECEs.
The union says there is a workforce crisis in the industry, and in order to solve that they need to improve working conditions. To do that, the union says they need to recognize the people who are doing the work.
CUPE NL President Sherry Hillier says improving the work life of ECEs and parents is a top priority.
