The collective « Pas de bébés à la retenue » and several trade unions are calling on early childhood professionals to go on strike on Tuesday, November 19th to denounce the lack of staff and the deterioration of childcare conditions.
The strike is pertuisane of a national movement aimed at shedding light on the critical state of early childhood centers in France. Despite the vital role that these professionals play in the education and well-being of our youngest citizens, they are facing an alarming shortage of staff and resources.
According to the collective, the current situation in early childhood centers is unbearable for both staff and children. Not only are employees struggling to provide quality care due to understaffing, but they are also facing increasingly difficult working conditions. These conditions, in turn, affect the quality of care and have a negative impact on the development of the children in their care.
In addition to the lack of personnel, the collective and trade unions are also denouncing the low wages and precarious contracts that many early childhood professionals face. Despite the important role they play in our society, these dedicated individuals are not receiving the recognition and support they deserve.
This strike is a call for action and a demand for change. The collective and trade unions are urging the government to take concrete measures to address the staffing crisis and improve the working conditions in early childhood centers. They are also calling for better salaries and job security for early childhood professionals.
Support for the strike is growing, with many parents and citizens expressing their solidarity with the cause. This is a sign that the public is aware of the importance of quality childcare and the need for better working conditions for early childhood professionals.
So, why should we all support this strike? Because investing in early childhood education and care is investing in the future of our society. By ensuring that early childhood professionals have the resources, support, and recognition they need, we are giving our children the best start in life and creating a better future for all.
Let us stand in solidarity with the request of the collective « Pas de bébés à la retenue » and the trade unions to improve the conditions of early childhood professionals. Let’s make sure that the voices of these dedicated individuals and the future of our society are heard loud and clear on Tuesday, November 19th.
