A rally in Durham is calling for higher pay for childcare workers. A new release for the event, called, "Imagine a Day Without Childcare," reads, "This day of action will address how gender roles and inadequate worker protections historically undervalue labor. The event will include speeches, activities for children and opportunities for community members to get involved." The median wage for childcare center staff in North Carolina is currently $12 per hour, according to a statewide study. Janet Singerman, President of Child Care Resources, joined Jeff Hamlin to discuss the urgency of higher pay for childcare workers.
