Caseworkers do not like to return calls and most of the time need encouragement to do so. CCPTM has put providers in the right direction when in need. Union Representitives have went to several hearings along with providers and have received $1000's in pay for providers who would of not known what to do with out someone to help them through it. We have been here to help our providers and will continue to do so. There is a hotline # call us if you need us. We are always here to help.
Raise? BullS%$Q! Yeah I got the raise, 3 cents. Then union dues is taken out of that which now gives me less than I made before the union. Plus where is all this help you speak of. Like the health benefits? I personally have not received any HELP fro the union and I want my dues back! And I'm not afraid of coming on this forum with name to say so!
