Here to view pictures from the most recent Press Conference announcing
the ruling in our favor by Judge Dexter M. Thompson. (Temporary
Restraining Order is explained below)
Judge Thompson granted us a Preliminary Injunction against the Executive Order
that Governor O'Malley issued authorizing the SEIU Election. This Injunction is
affective immediately. This is another victory for us but the conflict is not
over. Keep the pressure on your local representatives so that they stay on top
of this issue and are standing with us.
MSFCCA has issued an immediate Press Release
(Click Here)
concerning the results
of the Election that was authorized via Executive Order (Click
Here) by Governor Martin O' Malley. A Temporary Restraining Order
(Click Here - 1 2) has now been
issued by Judge Dexter M. Thompson Jr. against the governor's office, saying
that the governor acted wrongfully signing an executive order to
unionize child care workers. Providers and concerned child care advocates
should contact their Legislators and let them know, once again, how they feel
about this issue. Call, email and write your legislators
immediately. ACT NOW!!!
The Maryland State Family Child Care
Association, Inc. is pleased to announce that they are now offering access to a
Group Health Care Plan through CIGNA as an added benefit to membership. The Health Care Plan
is available to all Registered Family Child Care and Center
Providers who are members of MSFCCA. For more information
