A recent study by the Ontario Coalition for Better Child Care and the Canadian Union of Public Employees found that, on average, cliild-carc workers earn $22,717 a year - only slightly higher than the $21,038 park- ing lot attendants make. The study also went on to show that 82 per cent of day-care staff have a minimum one year of post-secondary education in their field, while 75 per cent have earned a university degree or college diploma. So, the person who we trust for the safety and nurturing of our children when we're not there, is basically get- ting the same wage as the person sit- ting in a booth taking our money at a parking lot. No disrespect to anyone, but is the level of responsibility really tlie same? Mary-Anne Bedard, executive direc- tor of the coalition, is trying to raise awareness of the struggle against low wages being fought by Ontario's 20.000 childcare workers. Recently Bedard was talking about the financial strain child-care workers face; the same strain that will be placed on our future childcare graduates. According to Bedard, not only arc the salaries inadequate, but because daycare facilities are frequently short on funds, it is the workers who often end up spending money out of their picking children up, the workers are This lack of funding is also affecting children are the 'customers' who are own pockets for much-needed toys and left to baby-sit on their own time. the children.
