The following came from Connect Duluth, connectduluth.com in an email. I know I posted about it earlier but this is just more information for you. This needs to be stopped but I bet the vote is 6-3 to approve the resolution. Thanks again to councilor Ness and his great work. Help us all.
- YouÂ’re going to really like this one. Resolution 05-0842R is a resolution supporting childcare programs and weÂ’d strongly encourage you to take a look at this one at http://www.ci.duluth.mn.us/city/council/resord05/05-0842r.htm. The Statement of Purpose simply states that Âthis resolution expresses the councilÂs support of an important programÂ. Dig a little deeper into the resolution and youÂll really learn a lot. You see, AFSCME has been trying to unionize the daycares in Northern Minnesota and have been getting a little resistance. There was an excellent Letter to the Editor in SundayÂs Duluth News Tribune about the union tactics, which can be accessed at http://www.duluthsuperior.com/mld/duluthsuperior/news/editorial/13325241.htm. The co-writers indicated that they were tricked into signing a membership card, AFSCME was sketchy about support, and they feel happy with the non-union trade association that they already belong to. HereÂs where the city council resolution comes into play. They write in this resolution, sponsored by Councilor Ness, that ÂSt. Louis County and Child Care Providers Together (CCPT)/AFSCME AFL-CIO are helping raise awareness of the need for improvements in the child care system. Why in the world is our City Council putting forth a resolution that plays directly into the current unionization efforts that AFSCME is trying to accomplish with day-care providers. They are a city council, NOT AN AFSCME AFL-CIO MOUTHPIECE. The resolution reads like a unionization solicitation. Unbelievable.
