>Schumer said the deal includes a commitment from GlobalFoundries to continue to provide a $1,000-per-employee annual subsidy for childcare and to extend the benefit to construction workers who build the new plant.
So pacing inflation on the cost of childcare? What a joke. Childcare in Vermont is ranging between $15,000-$25,000 per year among families I know. That subsidy covers less than a month.
As the largest private employer in Vermont I think they can do more than that. It’s not like they pay well. I see on their advertisements that night shift operators are paid 21.93 hourly with a shift differential. So day shift makes even less. Looks like shifts are 7 to 7 am and pm night and day.
What a schedule. It’s one thing if you’re a nurse making at least low six figures. But this? Grueling manual labor in those suits for twelve hours a day for a sub livable wage in Vermont and New York.
Or maybe they can mind their business, not concern themselves with how employees spend their salary, and pay the same to workers with and without children.
