(WI) Union contracts will come to an end on Wednesday

.............Marty Beil, executive director of the Wisconsin State Employees Union, said he believes state officials are happy to hold off on making major changes that would anger workers until after elections this summer for nine state senators who are targeted for recall because of their roles in the fight to pass the law.

"They don't want to come out with Neanderthal kinds of changes on the workplace issues prior to the recalls," Beil said..................

Prior to the courts putting a hold on this, Walker and his poodles were going to put the law into effect immediately. Now they will wait to deduct money from paychecks until after the recall elections-Aug 9.
They are slippery. But folks WILL remember!!

1. "They don't want to come out with Neanderthal kinds of changes...
on the workplace issues prior to the recalls," Beil said.................."

So then after the recalls, they intend on coming "out with those Neanderthal kinds of changes" anyway? :crazy:

These people are sadistically sick psychopaths. :banghead:

2. K&R Madison is ahead of the game.. Their Unions should
be the model for how to do business...

The reduction in take-home pay goes into effect for state employees in their Aug. 25 paycheck, and for local workers without contracts in the first pay period that starts after Wednesday, Archer said.
The law won't affect members of unions such as those in Madison or Dane County that have long-term contracts in place, until their pacts expire.

3. If the recalls don't work, Wisconsin will proceed on a slippery slope
down, down, down.

6. Yeah, this is a recipe for complete disaster
and its too late to actually fight back. and the descent won't be gradual. WI will be a 3rd-world police state with a few months after the recalls fail.

7. "Republican-led Wisconsin state government welches on deal"
" The Republican-led state government of WI has proved itself untrustworthy and should be approached with caution now and anytime in the near future. Anyone dealing with the WI state government should get cash up front or require real collateral to secure any loans extended to them. Under no circumstances should the Republican-led state government be trusted to honor their word or any written contract..."


There's the real story :grr:
