Opinions on the funding program to increase childcare wages (workers or parents)

Fair enough comments ausgirl re the greedy comment. However, I think they should pay you and with penalty rates if you attend work for any purpose during your own time and they don't because they don't want to cut into their profits. Similarly, hire a cleaner if the work environment needs a de clutter/ clean and not expect your staff to come in on the weekend for free. I guess that is beside the point of the topic though.

Re the union, I couldn't agree more. It's sad because I also have thought union membership is only a good thing but they have been very devious. They need to pay for all the money they spent on the campaign. However, they will come in handy when all these EBAs are worked out, a bit of support and back up for the workers.
