TORONTO - On Friday, as roughly 70 child care workers ran inventive, world-expanding programs, the President of CUPE 2484 attempted to hand deliver a message from workers and parents to the head office of Ideal Child Services Group. Management, though, was nowhere to be found, so Jess Tomas slid the petition and reams of signatures under the door of their darkened office. The petition – signed by hundreds of parents and family members of children enrolled at one of Ideal’s five child care sites across Toronto – called on management to invest in workers with a fair wage and improved working conditions, including increased paid programming time, adequate sick days, and WSIB coverage.
