Staff members at two Brightside Academy day-care centers met Oct. 3 at District Council 1707’s headquarters to voice concerns about what they claimed were unethical and unsanitary workplace conditions, including outbreaks of hand, foot and mouth disease.

Employees at various Brightside locations previously complained to The Chief about staffing-ratio problems and having to perform out-of-title work.

The union has been meeting with Brightside management to come to an agreement, as well as to address the employees’ concerns.
