Friedrichs Update
On Monday, January 11 the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the
Fredericks versus California Teachers Association case. This Supreme Court
case is an attack on the middle class by wealthy billionaires who are determined
to damage workers abilities to negotiate contracts for themselves and weaken
labor unions. CSEA members Danette Keel of CSC and Para President Cynthia
Ross Zweig traveled to Washington DC to rally with other labor activist outside
of the court.
“The rally in front of the Supreme Court was very exciting.” said Keel. “There were
DCF workers, there were teachers; workers from all across the country, and we went
out there and stood up for ourselves in unity. It was phenomenal. The Friedrichs case
is going to affect not only our futures, but our ability to provide a solid foundation for
our kid’s futures. There are a lot of union members who don’t understand that. I had
a friend from California call me and complain that they’re sick of paying their union
dues. I said to them, ‘you have kids, and you want to send them to college. What are
you going to do when your union is gone and your boss takes away your wages and
benefits and you can’t go and file a grievance?’ Without unions, they dictate to us
when we work, how much we work and how much we get paid.”
A decision in the case is expected before the end of the court’s current term in June.
Coalition For Strong Jobs &
Quality Services Kick Off

thanks to all who have contributed throughout the

Scholarship. Thanks to the generous support of individual
Union members, as well as their Chapters and Councils
who help raise this year’s funds.
Our Trustees want to thank each and every donor for
their financial support, whether it was in honor of a

On Saturday, January 16, 2016, the weekend of Martin Luther King Day,
a diverse group of labor, community, and civil rights organizations came
together to pledge to continue Dr. King’s fight to promote democracy, and
to end racial and economic inequality. The diverse group of people that
attended pledged to work together and hold leaders accountable on five
key themes. They included good jobs and fair wages; universal access to
quality public education (preschool to graduate school); a vibrant and fairly
funded public sector; racial, gender, and ethnic justice; and democracy in
our state and in our workplaces.
With the State of Connecticut facing long term budget deficits, the cause
of which is decades of working families moving backwards while a tiny
group of billionaires move forward, our core problems are long term and
cannot be solved by short term “band aids”. We have a choice: We can
accept whatever cuts the Koch brothers and their allies want to inflict on
us, or we can look to the vision laid out by MLK, unite with like minded
groups, build power, and win. Additional events are being planned.

Child Care
will be issued a twelve month certificate
for care in a setting of their choice. In the
interest of providing stability for the children,
care will be guaranteed for the child for
up to a year as long as the parent remains
below the federal income guideline of 85%
of State Median Income.
Office of Early Childhood says
Grandma Needs a License
There are dozens of significant changes being proposed
to the Care 4 Kids child care subsidy program, funded
in part by a grant from the federal government.
Requiring relatives to get a child care license is but
one of these changes. The Office of Early Childhood
(OEC) is suggesting the changes in response to a set
of guidelines for the Child Care Development Block
Grant (CCDBG), which was recently reauthorized by
Congress. A bit of history will help frame the issue.
When Rosie the Riveter put on her blue uniform back
in the 1940’s emergency nursery schools popped up
to provide child care with funding through the Lanham
Act. By the end of World War II, almost 600,000
children across the country were being cared for at
public centers, but the funding only covered about 10
percent of children in need. At the end of the war, the
Lanham centers closed and women were cast out of
the workforce.
In the early 1970’s Congress passed the
Comprehensive Child Development Act, which
would have provided nearly universal child care for
women who had that time returned to work in large
numbers and the statistics showed that this practice
would continue. Unfortunately, at the urging of Phyllis
Schlafly and Pat Buchanan, President Nixon vetoed
the bill. In the mid 1990’s Congress reauthorized the
CCDBG, which had been established by Congress in
the late eighties. The new CCDBG reflected the needs
presented by President Clinton’s Welfare Reform Act,
which called on mothers with young children to get
a job. Since then, the Care 4 Kids program has been
operated solely as a work support without regard
to quality of setting, education of staff or the needs
of young children. The edict was simply to get those
moms into the workforce and off welfare. Care 4 Kids
is the State’s largest child care subsidy program.
In 2014, armed with the science of child brain
development and twenty years of regulations that
never worked very well for parents, providers or
children, Congress reauthorized the CCDBG. This
time it has taken a two-generation approach, requiring
states to meet standards designed to avoid the financial
cliffs for parents who are slowly moving up a career
ladder; recognize the importance of a stable, welltrained workforce to the well-being of children; and
build in quality measures that can help get children
ready for success, and above all keep them healthy and
safe. This is all good stuff!
SEIU and child care advocates have been fighting
for such changes for years. Unfortunately, neither
Congress nor the OEC has included the child care
worker’s right to earn a living wage in its newest
iterations. Indeed, all of these significant changes
have come down from Washington with no additional
funding.
Faced with tough decisions and untenable trade-offs,
the OEC has put forth its plan, which is currently being
circulated for comment and is due to the Federal
Office of Child Care on March 1.
A Few Changes Proposed to the Care 4 Kids
Program.
•
Families eligible for the Care 4 Kids subsidy
Social Activities
Here are some of the trips CSEA’s Social Activities Committee
is working on for the coming year. As the CSEA News goes to
print, some information has yet to be determined.

•
60% of our bargaining unit losing their source
of income by July 2016 if not licensed. CSEA’s
Family Child Care Council made it clear
at its December meeting that we stand in
solidarity with our unlicensed family child care
members in opposing the implementation
of quality measures within a timeframe that
would cause hardship on not only providers,
but on the families that rely on our members
for care while they work. The unintended
consequences, especially in the inner-city
would be devastating to thousands of families
who rely on this program to get and keep a
job.
Unlicensed family members who care for
relatives will ONLY be able to care for
children over the age of three between
the hours of 4PM to 7AM and during the
weekends. The family member will need
a license to care for these children during
daytime hours. Unlicensed family members
who care for relatives will still be able to
care for children under the age of three
during all hours of the day and on weekends.
It is unclear if family members will be
allowed to go to the child’s home for care,
or if the care must be in the home of the
provider.
•
Unlicensed family members will be limited to
a total of three children with no more than
two children under the age of two.
•
Licensed providers will still receive a
5% increase in payment rates when they
become nationally accredited but technical
assistance will now be provided to get there.
•
All providers – licensed and family members
– will be required to take 18 hours of
training in health and safety within the
first three months of receiving the child
care subsidy. Each year thereafter, all
providers will need to take 18-21 hours of
approved professional development. There
is no mention of whether this continuing
education will lead to credit-bearing units
that could be used towards a degree.
•
Background checks for all providers will be
enhanced, requiring the State to invest in
more electronic fingerprinting stations, and
more rigorous searches through national
databases.
•
The differential rate when caring for a
special needs child will move from 15% to
25%.
•
Programs administered by a public school or
municipal agency will continue to be licenseexempt, not requiring the same staff-to-child
ratios as licensed programs serving children
of the same age.
2. More Federal Funding Needed:
Connecticut has not had a waiting list for this
program for many years, because the eligibility
threshold for family income is set at 50% of
State Median Income (SMI). Federal guidelines
allow families to participate with incomes
as high as 85% of SMI. If we implement
even a fraction of the quality improvements
suggested, it will mean eventually closing
access to newly employed families and
creating a waitlist. There must be a national
outcry for more federal dollars to help
families pay for the high cost of quality child
care. The future of our country depends
on how we care for our youngest and most
vulnerable children and they deserve the best
quality care.
3. Increase Provider Wages: In our
recent teletownhall survey, with over 700
family child care providers on the call, it is
clear that our members take their work
with children seriously and want to make
improvements in their services. Of our
unlicensed providers, 61% said they would
like to get a license so they could be paid
more. Of our licensed providers, 80% said
that they would welcome the opportunity to
become nationally accredited so they could
be paid more. The reauthorization of CCDBG
perpetuates a public policy that has the child
care work force subsidizing the industry.
Efforts to increase quality without addressing
the abysmal pay of providers will simply result
in good people leaving the field. We have seen
providers leave the field for decades to get
higher paying jobs working with older children
in the public school system.
We should all be concerned about the impact of this
plan to significantly upgrade this important program
without additional investments on the part of the
federal government.

see the State’s application for CCDBG funding
fail. However, the timelines imposed by the
federal government would result in at least
