Become a CCPT Member
Who knows best what child care providers need? YOU-the provider. But on your
own contacting county officials, DHS and legislators too often goes unheeded.
If providers join together as a group, WE can and will be more effective. As a
group, CCPT Local 3400, can be very effective but add the backing of AFSCME
Council 5 and our numbers become tens of thousands.
Being a union member has many perks, but one of the most important reasons
to become a member is the uniting of child care providers from all walks of life
and places, pulling together to fight for the rights and recognition we deserve.
