Wisconsin teachers are protesting state budget cuts needed to balance the state budget that reduce teacher salaries and benefits. The cut also affect many other department budgets and state employees. After implementation the average state employee wage and benefits would still be better than the average non-government employee that is paying their salaries. Some teachers are in Madison protesting rather than at work teaching their students. Those who lie by claiming they are sick should be disciplined or fired.
With all the whining and temper tantrums you have to wonder if Wisconsin children are learning from the teachers or the teachers are learning from the children. Waa, waa, waa.

If you are to believe the news, the unions are willing to make cuts. The issue they have is loosing the ability to collective bargain in the future for pay and benefits. Isn't WI a socialist state anyway? What are they thinking electing a republican Governor?
David,
They are thinking their State is going broke. They also know the Democrats will continue their tax and spend ways - which they wanted stopped. Ergo, vote Repubican.
It's true over the weekend the teacher's UNION (not the rank and file teachers) agreed to the wage and benefit reductions if the anti-union provisions are removed. This proves once again that the union is NOT concerned about the teachers nor the students but only about their union dues.
We worked hard to elect that Republican Governor! What the Democrats were doing to WI was criminal. People had enough!
When I heard over the weekend that the Union agreed to the wage and benefit concessions I imediately thought - yep throw the people under the bus and save the Unions.
WI needs a lot of overhaul - in regards to the teachers that complain about their salary reduction I would point them to the 46% graduation rate in the Milwaukee school system. How about doing your job - teach!!!
