Breaking: Walker Says He May Negotiate Some Issues, But Not Right To Bargain
by James Parks, Mar 3, 2011
This just in: Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker says he won’t concede on the issue of taking away public employees’ collective bargaining rights, but he may on others.
In an interview with the Associated Press, Walker also threatened to start issuing layoff notices to state workers as soon as tomorrow if his bill calling for them to pay more for their benefits and taking away collective bargaining rights isn’t passed by then. The layoffs wouldn’t take effect for 31 days and they could be revoked later
