E-mails: Wisconsin governor offers concessions on budget bill

[RandySF]

But in this latest e-mail exchange, dated Sunday, March 6, Walker appears willing to take steps that would curtail the proposal.
According to the e-mail, the changes would:

-- Allow unions to bargain for wages beyond inflation rates, without a mandatory voter referendum.
-- Permit collective bargaining on certain economic issues, including mandatory overtime, performance bonuses, hazardous duty pay, calendar and classroom size, as well as certification or license payment. Unions and public employers would be required to define the parameters of the negotiations in each case.
-- Allow public workers at the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics Authority to keep their collective bargaining rights.
-- Permit public workers to collectively bargain workplace safety issues, while restricting workers from negotiating hours, overtime, sick or family leave, work breaks and vacation.
-- Limit collective bargaining agreements to one or two years.
-- Require unions to register less than one year after the bill is signed into law, and compel their registration every three years to stay active. The original measure would mandate annual certification.
The modifications do not address Walker prohibiting unions from collecting dues, often considered a sticking point in negotiations.

1. They shouldn't compromise with this guy....

2. Until Wanker and the gooopers surrender in public

there should be no compromise.

ANYTHING THEY SAY OTHERWISE IS A LIE.

They must commit in public, or there's no deal.


Oh, and what's offered so far is no "compromise."
