Democratic lawmakers in Madison are trying again to undo the state’s changes to teacher contract negotiations.
Milwaukee Democratic state Senator Chris Larson yesterday led a group of lawmakers in introducing a plan to rollback Act 10, and allow teachers to once again include provisions for pay, benefits, and working conditions in their contracts. Act 10 only allows teachers and their unions to negotiate pay raises in their contracts. Larson says teachers need to be protected now more than ever. Act 10 supporters say the changes in the law have saved taxpayers nearly 14-billion-dollars over the past decade.
