Picket and write call your representatives.

The budget repair bill unveiled by Governor Walker will have a devastating impact on all public employees. Not only does it contain provisions that would require public employees to pay 5.8 percent of their WRS and 12.8 percent of their health insurance premiums (more than a 10 percent tax on public employees – while virtually all taxes for Wisconsin Corporations were repealed!). It would also limit public employee unions to bargaining only compensation. That means all other sections of your contract will be removed from the scope of bargaining. That means management can change the following provisions without any input from the union:

* JUST CAUSE (Boards could fire or nonrenew teachers or ESPs at will.) * LAYOFF (Boards could lay off whomever they choose.) * PRIVATIZATION (Boards could subcontract support staff positions at will.)

Is this the kind of place where you want to work? Where flexibility is defined as management being able to do whatever they want? Where you could lose your job on essentially a whim?

CALL YOUR LEGISLATORS NOW! Governor Walker and the Legislature need to hear from you, from your colleagues, from your family, and from your friends. REDUCING your disposable income will not stimulate the economy or "fix" the budget, only reduced spending and fair corporate taxes can accomplish that! This all-out assault on hard working middle class families cannot go unchallenged.

I agree this is bad for state employees and private work force should have to go through the same things to keep it fair and to help out. But please do not get the kids going to protest with the teachers. Th...See More
