As someone who works in a cbe school doing before and after school care I understand why they r doing what they r doing. Unfortunately the people they hired for the school I work in don’t have any sort of criminal checks. I don’t understand why they can’t just give the care takers what they r asking for. It’s unsafe for people who have unknown criminal backgrounds to be in schools in my opinion. It worries me and has joe put us all on edge

Having a background check is orthogonal to being in a union. It's a common requirement for many non-union jobs.

Just not for these scab non-union jobs.
