Wisconsin Child Care Providers Together (WICCPT) is a union formed by family child care providers for child care providers. WICCPT/ AFSCME is working to improve the quality of child care and child care work in Wisconsin through unionization and collective negotiations.
WICCPT prides itself on building relationships with child care providers and advocates throughout the state. By working as a unified voice we have been able to gain recognition and respect. Through our efforts we have seen our work turn into tangible results. We have laid our foundation, but must continue to advocate for our working families.
Working together as one, has improved our standing and has allowed us to be heard. This has given us the political clout, resources, and strength to face the difficult challenges providers confront every day. We believe by engaging our providers in the political process we can become an effective and powerful voice.
