Yes, the thing where nobody in Massachusetts has been at all organized in being against it leaves me wondering how it could be bad for MA.
It is possible that conditions for people in this field happen to be much worse in MA than they are in MD. (I've seen people claiming that if you're an employer who doesn't want a union, all you have to do is treat your employees well.)
The actual text of the law regarding strikes is ``Section 7. Strikes Not Authorized
No provision of this chapter shall be construed to authorize family child care providers to engage in a strike, boycott, or cessation of the delivery of child care services.''
I don't see anything in the law that looks like it would prevent a provider from saying ``I'm getting out of the business of providing child care to people who get state subsidies.''
