Borough President Marty Markowitz joined DC 1707, other union leaders and elected officials today in calling on the City to seriously negotiate with the union to prevent any further work stoppages. 7,000 day care workers didn’t report to work today closing more than 350 public day care centers across the New York City.
"Don’t tell me you care about our children, show me. These hard working men and women are responsible for our most precious resource," Borough President Markowitz said. "They help shape our youngest boys and girls when they are the most vulnerable and, even during these difficult fiscal times, their invaluable contributions need to be recognized and rewarded."
