California to let child care workers unionize

Oct 07, 2019

California will allow roughly 40,000 child care workers to unionize. Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the law on Monday and it takes effect next year. It applies to workers who offer child care to families who get government subsidies. The law says those workers can collectively bargain like other public employees, though it does not turn them into state workers. It would allow them to bargain over things like reimbursement rates and payment procedures.
