WI Union-busting provisions added in budget committee

[dellinger63]

Bravo to WI Governor Walker who signed Act 10 into law.

Now, with immediate results in savings one must wonder why the unions fought so hard to defeat it? Could it be there was some sort of collusion between the unions and WEA Trust? And could that be grounds for a fraud investigation and possible recovery of ‘stolen’ public funds?

It’s a narrative we’ve touched on before – switching health insurers can save Wisconsin’s school districts hundreds of thousands of dollars each year. This summer, two local school boards have proven this point in dramatic fashion.

Hudson and Kaukauna have both made headlines recently for saving over $1.5 million combined through bidding out their teacher health insurance programs. As a result, these districts are getting deals that will provide high-level health care while saving significant funding dollars.

Too funny the media is blaming Walker for the WEA workers losing their jobs when in fact they lost their jobs because they couldn't produce a product that is competitive in the real world.

BTW how many new jobs were created? They leave that out.

The plan is a simple one and hopefully will serve as a blueprint for other 'overburdoned' States. No upfront costs to set up exchanges etc. etc. Just a willing legislature and a Governor's signature.

Amazing what happened when they actually had to compete for the business. Do you think MJS will ever have a story about the number of jobs gained at other health care insurers as a result of the increased business?

Absolutely not.

I'll go out on a limb and predict the City of Milwaukee public school system will stay with the overpriced WEA in an incest-like, perverted show of solidarity.

Damn the students and the taxpayer.
