Early childhood educators lobbying for higher pay as part of province's universal child-care plan
EXCERPTS
Early childhood educators in B.C. are disappointed the province's push for universal child care isn't coming with a pay increase for those doing the work — and at least one worries sexism plays a role.
In February, the federal government announced a $153-million investment in child care and education training in the province, following the province's December announcement of $33 million to increase the number of daycare spots. Both announcements are part of the B.C. NDP's goal of establishing universal child care.
