Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

Wisc collective bargaining law predicted by Dems to be catastrophic ... apparently isn't
one beleaguered Wisconsin school district is showcasing early results ..
The Kaukauna School District of 4,200 students & 400 employees faced an annual deficit of $400,000
the new law in effect for 5 days now, allowed school officials to institute policies that will turn that $400,000 deficit into a $1.5 million surplus.

teachers and staff will shoulder more health-care & pension costs.
those changes will save the school board an estimated $1.2 million this year

under the "collective bargaining agreement" Kaukauna's was REQUIRED to purchase health insurance WEA Trust --
a company created by the Wisconsin teachers union. WEA rates increased each year.

after the school shopped around for coverage, WEA Trust suddenly changed its position.
WEA Trust said, "We can match the lowest bid"
Kaukauna is staying with WEA Trust, AND saving substantial money.

teachers must now teach 2.1/2 additional hours per week .. totaling 40 hrs

but what are Kaukauna School District's plans for the money savings??

a) hire more teachers!

b) reduce class size!!

c) institute merit pay!!!

no word yet what % of Kaukauna's teachers will continue to fork over union dues now that it's voluntary ..

What color is the sky in that little world of yours?

I like how you repost old stories in an attempt to make them more newsworthy.

Sounds like a good start. Maybe we need Walker for President.

re #9; I ask forgiveness ..
I did not see the previous post out front
there didn't seem to be much interest, as is often the case when Liberal assumptions are shown yet again to be false as reality comes to bite them in the ass

shame on them for being deceptive .. they hurt the poor, they hurt the working class, they hurt America

it continues to get worse .. errrr, oops - - I mean better ..

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports:

Pewaukee School District, estimates $378,000 by next year by leaving WEA Trust. (the Union owned Health Ins Co)

Menomonee Falls School District, will save $1.3 million

Hartland-Lakeside to save $700,000

it does get worse for WEA ~
districts are pursuing negotiations with WEA Trust to to recover years of apparent overcharges for the union-affiliated coverage.
if negotiations are unproductive, legal action would follow, including an audit of all WEA monies

one could wonder why the union Health Co overcharged their own?
gee, ins't that a money-laundering pattern?

one could wonder if the Union Trust has something to hide here?

it's not that the Libs don't know anything .. it's just that everything they know is wrong
