    Michigan Childcare Providers Have Taxable Income Removed From Their Paychecks Without Authorization

    On December 15, 2008 licensed Michigan childcare providers received the following notice: A new union, Child Care Providers Together Michigan (CCPTM) was organized by Michigan's child day care workers and certified by the Michigan Employment Relations Commission. As a result of this agreement, beginning in January of 2009, a 1.15% union dues/service fee will be deducted from your payment. We beleive by improving the condition for providers of child care, we will improve the lives of children.  

    Excuse me- but I believe having this union forced by the State of Michigan is legally wrong.  I have had taxable, earned income removed from my check without my authorization.  I have never been given the opportunity to vote for or against this newly formed union.  

    I have phoned, e-mailed and sent registered letters to the State of Michigan.  The Michigan Department of Human Services has not responded nor has the office of Governor Granholm.  The Michigan Child Care Connections states, they have been told not to discuss the matter. Furthermore, viva a telephone conversation with the NEW Child Care Providers Together Michigan Union(CCPTM), I was informed opting-out, in not an option!

    The State of Michigan is stomping on my Constitutional Rights.

    That within the last couple of years the administration approved a bill that increased the pay for childcare (?) and home health care (?) workers, but set aside a certain amount for union dues.

    So yes, they did it, and yes, it's awful.

    (I don't remember the specifics and didn't bother to look them up before posting, hence the question marks, but it did happen)

    In home child care providers,daycare's, receive a percent of two dollars per hour based on each families individual need.  I have cared for children fifteen years and the average equals one dollar and ninty cents per hour.

    The State co-pay's an hourly rate direct to the provider, the parent must pay the balance. In home child care providers,daycare's, receive a percent of two dollars per hour based on each families individual need.  I have cared for children fifteen years and the average equals one dollar and ninty cents per hour. I charge $3.75 per hour; thus the state would reinburse $1.90 per hour and the parent would reinburse 1.85 per hour of care provided.
