Working Together for Our Kids, For Our Future

Working families across the country entrust their children’s care to SEIU members. We help give kids the head start they need to be successful in life. We drive buses to transport them safely. And we keep kids off the streets and enrich their education in after-school programs while their parents are at work.

By joining together in SEIU Local 535, childcare employees are working to improve the lives of children in our care by:

Providing Stable Careers for Workers. Higher wages, expanded training, improved benefits, and a voice at work translate into a more stable career. Kids are the big winners when they have access to experience and well trained workers.

Ensuring Kids Get the Start They Need. SEIU Local 535 works to make sure that the money for early childhood education and childcare is used for the children to improve the programs and to expand access so every child gets a good start.

Giving Workers A Voice to Improve Programs for Kids. Through SEIU, childcare workers and managers work together to increase state subsidies, speed reimbursements from the state and find more resources for training.
