Why I don't want a public daycare service

The Toronto garbage strike. Garbage collectors earn between $45 and $60K per year, have a great pension, bank up to 18 sick days per year and have other benefits. They still strike. Doesn't everyone see the connection.

Public daycare workers will be offered overly generous compensation and benefits and with time will push for more. The push will never end. They will hold parents hostage with strikes or threatened strikes.

The system as it stands is a vast transfer of wealth from those working in the private sector to those working in the public sector. Public daycare only adds to the problem.

Right On

  1. And with parents stuck, its not like they can drop off their kids in a pile in front of a picket line.
