Wow, i really thought it was obvious. Wages are only part of what’s important to public sector employees when they negotiate with management.

The fact is that spending less time on wages allows for moire time on more important issues, like working conditions.

seniority, schedules, the length of shifts…

Unions still able to represent and bargain for every kind of working condition imaginable.

It is only the unions that are characterizing this as the complete end to collective bargaining. That was a lie they told you. I have been telling you from the start that it is ONLY setting limits. AND that limits have always been there.

Um buck…

Um Buck doesn’t the Wisconsin Bill that Walker brought up make it illegal for unions to collectively bargain on those things?
