The Cincinnati Enquirer Newly unionized Head Start workers serving suburban Hamilton County preschoolers and their families will rally today to bring attention to their push for higher wages.
Low wages contribute to high turnover, they say.
Jack Collopy, executive director of Hamilton County Head Start, says his organization is working with the new union on a contract that will please both workers and management. But Head Start is funded by state and national grants, he said. So there's only so much money. When you're a grants program, you apply for a grant and those are the moneys you get. We can't raise taxes, we can't put a levy on the ballot, so whatever we get, that's what we have to deal with.
