MONTREAL - Thousands of parents in Quebec are making alternative child-care arrangements Wednesday as home daycare workers hold another one-day strike.

Some 92,000 children will be affected by the strike with thousands of workers walking off the job.

Daycare employees in Montreal plan to gather outside Premier Jean Charest's downtown office to bring attention to their quest for their first collective agreement with the Quebec government.

The strike is the latest move after some 400 home daycare operators protested in front of Family Minister Yolande James's Montreal offices on Oct. 28.

In 2008, home daycare operators won the right to unionize, and have been negotiating their first collective agreement since February 2010.

Currently they are paid $19 per day, per child, in addition to the $7 per day they receive from parents.

They are asking for an additional $12 per day to put them on an equal footing with the funding received by the larger centres de la petite enfance (CPE).
