Here are our brilliant speakers during our #MayDay Together for Public call to action on childcare
🎤 @OrlaNWCI, Avril Green, @EarlyYearsUnion, @waithiraburke , @AkiDwA, Maria Joyce, @NTWFIRL, Elaine McQuillan, @EarlyCentres , @paul_gavan, @irishcongress
On #MayDay we joined #TogetherForPublic to demand a new model of Early Years where the state funds wages, just like schools.
This would support workers, providers and quality for children.
This makes sense for everyone.
Let’s make it happen!

WATCH: SIPTU Services members are a huge cog on the wheel of an economy that is moving well ahead.
Our members are on the front line.
Together, we are growing our union and making sure no service worker is left behind.

Well done @CosgroveNessa 👏
Congratulations to @SIPTU member and trade union activist Senator @CosgroveNessa - a brilliant result.
Huge support for the workers, children and parents left in limbo at Rainbow Community Playschool in Stoneybatter.
We call on Kent Community to rescind their decision and enter into negotiations and dialogue with @SIPTU and with parents reps without delay.
As negotiations to form a new government come towards their conclusion, we are once again reiterating our call for a commitment to introduce a public system of early childhood education and care'

Government formation talks are discussing childcare. That the top 10 childcare providers generated nearly €60 million in profits over the last five years should help focus those talks. Public provision of childcare should be the policy that emerges. tinyurl.com/3carj7zm
MUST READ: This is the pathway to an affordable, accessible and quality early years’ service. Hopefully, the government negotiators will start walking that path.

As Government formation talks are set to continue, we need a clear commitment to transition to a public system of early childhood education and care. This public system must guarantee a place for every child, no matter their background. #TogetherforPublic
