state-funded early care and education program, to meet and confer with the state regarding matters within the scope of representation as established in WIC Section 10424.5. Family child care providers chose Child Care Providers Union (CCPU) to act as their union representative, and CCPU was subsequently certified by the Public Employment Relations Board.
Pursuant to WIC Section 10426.5, deductions may be requested by CCPU from the subsidy payments of its provider members, and the Department of Human Resources (CalHR) or the Governor's designee shall ensure that those requests are honored. The California Department of Social Services (CDSS), any other state department or agency administering a state-funded early care and education program, contractors or subcontractors of state agencies and departments, and any political subdivisions of the state shall assist CalHR or the Governor's designee in ensuring these requests are honored. The deductions may include membership dues, initiation fees, general assessments, and payment of any other membership benefit program sponsored by the certified provider organization.
