So they now live at the same level (not even really) as private sector workers. Huh. fancy that?And the Kaukauna School Board, by implementing the new Law saved 2 million going from a 400k deficit to a 1.6m surplus.
Kaukauna schools project $1.5M surplus after bargaining changes | Appleton Post Crescent | postcrescent.comThe Kaukauna School Board approved changes Monday night to its employee handbook that require staff to cover 12.6 percent of their health insurance and to contribute 5.8 percent of their wages to the state's pension system, in accordance with the new collective bargaining law, commonly known as Act 10.
The new rules also cut sick days from 10 to five, eliminate teacher pay for emergency school closings, such as snow days, and give district leaders the option of furloughing staff members.
They cut teachers' pay. This isn't rocket science. If you cut people's pay you get to pay them less and save money. This is Business 101. Doesn't mean it's good for the economy though. How is less consumer spending going to help that community? Answer: it won't.
What makes you think they should not have to share in the hardship all the rest that work in the private sector do? Plus with the savings they are hiring more teachers to reduce workload on the teachers. Lost spending? HAH! Not even close. try INCREASED spending in the community. I thought you socialists were all about redistribution of wealth.
