[Histonet] Wage question for Wisconsin

[Ingles Claire]

The answer to that question may have to wait a week or two. At least here at the UW. Our wonderful governor is trying to get rid of the state workers unions and collective bargaining. He is trying to push it through (it was just introduced this last Friday), and the vote is slated for later this week. The techs at the UW hospital have fortunately signed their contract that is good until the reopener in 1013 and we are not strictly state employees. However, the way things are looking, it is not out of the question that he may also try to void our contracts.  Our pay MAY go up, but we will no longer have much, if anything, for benefits.  Don't count on sending your kids to the UW colleges if this goes through. 
Sorry, I'm fighting mad right now. I'm not usually big on the unions, but this is HUGE for millions of Wisconsinites. GGRRRRR!

Were there any other Wisconsin techs at the rally today?  Even the Police and Firefighters unions were down there!
