What got fost in all this it seems was the governor's overtures to democrats and in them his concessions to his hardline collective bargaining stance. Did union leadership even tell members these concessions about class size, safety, wages were tendered by Gov. Walker? ‘And because dems/unions played hardball they ended up losing points the governor was willing to give up. Thanks.

County Executive Bob Ziegelbauer said savings from Gov. Scott Walker’s budget repair bill would have been enough to save the 18 jobs. But since the bill’s passing has beon delayed, the county can’t afford to keep the positions. The only way to save the jobs is if the AFSCME Locals, which are currently working under expired contracts, agree to modified terms to help the county save money , according to Ziegelbauer. "We're asking them to basically voluntarily agree to what we think is going to be the inevitable result anyway as @ way to save those jobs from layoff,” he said. "I think there's strong incentive for them to accept our suggestion because ... it would allow them to go through the entire year with the impact being less than it would be if the law goes into effect immediately.” The personnel committee met with the unions Thursday to discuss the terms, and they have until April 14 to make a decision. If any of the four unions do not agree to the terms, the highway department employees’ last day of work will be April 15, “Because the budget repair bill was not implemented and we are still working under the expired labor agreements, on April 1 we had to make a deposit of $750 into the health savings accounts of people who have a single health insurance plan and a deposit of $1,500 into the accounts of employees who have family insurance plan,” Personnel Director Sharon Comils said. “That expense we had to incur, that we didn’t think we'd have to, was part of what was going to keep us from having to layoff those highway department employees.”
