Do you actually know for a fact that all the Wis layoffs spoken of by the governor would have been 100% teachers? I read the layoffs would have involved some state employees as well.
Not just teachers would be laid off, other employees too, but the teacher's unions make it sound like it will be 100% teachers.........
It works differently here in Illinois. Our highest paid public sector employees such as school superintendents, high level state employees such as the govenors staff, etc. are not protected. Interesting that those folks would be union members in Wis. Which union?{/quote]
Not sure, but Gov Walker reminded everyone HE is a state employee too, so HE is giving up collective bargaining............
Wow! So you know who's on the layoff lists? It's a little surprising that the senators would be married to low seniority teachers since they're not young kids themselves, but ya never know.
The school districts already were given warning on the loss of state aid. The communities where these Republican senators come from are fiscally conervative areas. Both senator's wives are not 20 year+ employees, one went back to work after raising kids, not sure about the other......
