United Child Care Union wins Pennsylvania Campaign

Pennsylvania’s licensed, registered independent childcare providers voted 1161 to 47 to become members of a union. Some 3000 workers are part of the new bargaining group.

The October 29 vote concluded an unprecedented joint organizing effort between NUHHCE-AFSCME and SEIU.

“We’re all one extended family now,” said United Child Care Union President Vermanuel “Vickie” Milhouse, indicating the organizers had no difficulties working together and would be launching another campaign to organize an even larger group — registered but unlicensed child- care workers — family members and neighbors who provide child- care — beginning in January.
