@AECEO @allisonjones_cp @CBCQueensPark @CityCynthia @ColinDMello To solve the child care workforce shortage and improve access for families Ontario should bring in a salary scale: - At least $30-$40/hr for RECEs - At least $25/hrfor non-RECE staff - annual increases and steps to reward years of service - benefit & pension plans #WorthMore

"There is more work to do, @AlanaMarieP said, as advocates had also called for a wage grid allowing for a salary progression, along with benefits and pensions, and a wage floor for non-ECE staff, who are about 40% of the workers in licensed child care. cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

Advocates say increase to Ontario ECE wages doesn’t go far enough for retention of workers toronto.citynews.ca/2023/11/16/adv… #WorthMore

To solve the child care workforce shortage, ON should immediately implement a province-wide publicly funded salary scale - at least $30-$40/hour for RECEs. - at least $25/hour for non-RECE staff. - Annual increases and steps to reward years of service. - Benefit and pension plans

@AECEO In 2022, among RECEs in child care in Ontario: - 32% earned less than $20 per hour; - 46% earned between $20 and $25 per hour; - Only 16% earned between $25 and $30 per hour. Why don't more RECEs stay working in child care? They can’t make a living and can’t build a life.

@AECEO Ontario's $19/hr wage floor for RECEs is the third lowest in the country – more than $4 less than Alberta, $8 less than PEI, and $13 less than Yukon. There is no wage floor for other child care staff beyond the provincial minimum wage.
