The blessings of Act 10 in Wisconsin.

It's about the kids.

Based on my research, in 23 school districts that have used the blessings of Act 10, they have realized 558.00 of new found money for 79,475 students. While the 3 largest districts in Wisconsin have refused to make reasonable and prudent concessions to save some 1000+ education jobs.

Remember Governor Walker hates teachers.

Yet under his Act 10 thousands of jobs were saved in school districts that used the blessings provided them by making teachers contribute to their retirement and health insurance. Yet they complain as they cash their very nice paychecks. Still more districts across the state have rejected the WEA trust as the conscripted health insurance and have found less costly plans on the FREE market. There are those two words the left hates so much.


It's about seniority not the kids.

In the districts of Milwaukee, Kenosha and Janesville, the teachers being laid off are not being let go because they are poor teachers but because they have not been their as long as others. So it's not about keeping the best to teach our kids. So the whole teachers argument is not about the kids! If it was they would have welcomed the 558.00 per student.  Their small contributions to their benefits would have realized.

Act 10 didn't end collective bargaining for state employees either. They did it to themselves.

They could have collectively  bargained for raises and wages, but they de-certified their unions. So even if they were to overthrow Governor Walker in the "Recall" it is not really a recall it is an overthrow of a duly elected Government.   If they were to overthrow him they would not have anyone to collectively bargain for them. All they had to do was get 1/3 of the work force and they could have kept the union. But they failed to get even that many to sign little cards to keep their privilege to bargain. (Collective Bargaining is NOT A RIGHT!!) Not only that,  they gave up a chance to bargain for cost of living. Something state employees have not had since the 1970's. Yet they complain they want their "Rights" back. It's their own fault. Now they have no agent for the state to recognize even if they were to reverse the blessings of Act 10.

So Wisconsin, Count your blessings.
