No wonder these teachers took to the streets and bailed on their classes. They have the sweetheart deal of the cenury! Bend over, Wisconsin taxpayer!
They have already agreed to every financial concession the Governor asked for, including paying more of their own money to fund that retirement benefit.
Of course, this has never actually been about the retirement benefits, or the budget deficit. It has always been about union busting.
Walker proved that when he accepted an additional $167 million loss to the state rather than negotiate.
Reminds me of the $2000 claw hammer and the $1200 toilet seats.
That was the DOD and if the Repubs had been really serious about budget cutting THAT is where they would have started, so far they have not gone after them, hmmmmm.

Majority in Poll Back Employees in Public Sector Unions
Quote:
Americans oppose weakening the bargaining rights of public employee unions by a margin of nearly two to one: 60 percent to 33 percent. While a slim majority of Republicans favored taking away some bargaining rights, they were outnumbered by large majorities of Democrats and independents who said they opposed weakening them.
$100,005/ 180 days /6 hours per day /30 students = $3.09 per student per hour.
Actually the average is around $51k (after at least 10 years of service), but entry is $26k. But Answer me this: What other employee is required to attain a Masters Degree to keep their job and then is told to take a pay cut after doing so?
How about we go after the Police. They retire after 20 years and then get retirement benefits for the next 50ish years. How about we make them work until 65, cut their benefits and pay them no OT. And then also if they want to go to a higher rank that they must attain a Masters Degree. And once they attain it, we give them a paycut.
Just look at what collective bargaining has given this union.
The numbers are staggering..and outrageous.
Pensions, completely paid for.
Contributions for pensions and SS - 22.6 cents for each dollar of salary. Guess how much private sector is? 13.4%. Is there a reason public sector employees deserves such lucrative deals?
But that's not the worst of it.
The WEA has a monopoly on providing HC insurance to it's members, making a tidy sum in the process, over charging the taxpayer in the process.
