Wisconsin unions rush to get deals in place

School boards and local governments across Wisconsin are rushing to reach agreements with unions before a new law takes effect that will remove their ability to collectively bargain over nearly all issues other than minimal salary increases.

Secretary of State Doug La Follette said today he decided to delay publication of the law until the latest day possible, March 25, to give those local governments as much time as possible to reach agreements. The law doesn't take effect until the day after La Follette publishes it.

Gov. Scott Walker had asked La Follette to publish the law today, but the Democratic secretary of state, who called the new law the biggest change in labor management history in 50 years, said he didn't see any emergency that warranted him doing that.

La Follette said he heard from many schools, cities and counties urging him to delay enactment of the law as long as possible.

2. Walker - born in CO - shoulda known what he was getting into ...

... before he ever thought about politics in WI.
Public Service, politics and civic awareness runs deep through many generations of many badger families.

5. LaFollette just "working to the contract"

A phrase that Gov. Walker and his Republican cronies might want to familiarize themselves with. The law says the Secretary of State doesn't have to publish the new law for 10 days, and that's just what LaFollette is doing. So it isn't really a "delay" except in what passes for the governor's mind. And if some contracts are concluded in the interim, or some court challenges are filed while the bill is pending and injunctions are issued to stay the new law's enforcement, well, that's all within the purview of the rules as they're written. Republicans like changing the rules as they go (as evidenced by this law in the first place), but that isn't going to help them now.

I wonder what the penalty is, if any, if LaFollette has a gazillion things to do Friday afternoon on the 25th and doesn't quite get to publishing this new law until the next Monday?

6. Repukes destroy a half century of progress, so they can have their way.

Walker will be run out of office in disgrace and his Repuke scum posse will be joining him.
