If anyone is in need of daycare for the Fall outage at D.C. Cook, please send me a PM.  I live 6 miles from the plant and my husband will be working the outage.  I won't be because I have my two little guys.  However, I am very partial to the industry and want to do my part, even if that means watching your little ones.  It's very difficult to find someone who knows the hours we keep and willing to help out. 

Please let me know.

This is not the utilities job.

I agree.  Utilities do not have a responsibility to provide anything in the way of services to employees.  That they offer so much is testament to their concern for the value of their employees.  If there's something you (plural) want outside of the plant's offerings, why not organize it yourself outside of work? 

Example: You want daycare (I have three kids, so I can relate), and so do several co-workers.  You call around and set something up.  If there's nothing available, maybe one of the spouses comes along and gets a temporary license from the county/state as required.  Local colleges sometimes have employment programs that include daycare/babysitting.  The point is, there are options for daycare, and the utility doesn't owe it to you.

The utilities convert matter into energy to make electricity for profit, and everything else is gravy.

Turn the kids time to making something useful, get a contract with Nike and they provide the day care center and the kids make the shoes like they do in Asia.

Do the plants with daycare provide the service on site or is it just outside the gate?  It is actually a good idea.  There are so many families with both parents working or single parent families who could use the extra help.

[Adam Grundleger]

If you think there's a market for it, why not set it up?  Could be a real money-maker.  Of course, you've got zoning and such to worry about.  If there's money in it, someone will go for it.  If there isn't, well... just wait for the government to throw your tax dollars at it.

[B.PRESGROVE]

Lol good point about the tax dollars.  No I wouldnt want to go through all the red tape, insurance, startup costs, staffing, and all that to much work.
