Walker’s Renewed War on Workers
Just as he did as Milwaukee County executive, Scott Walker, now the governor, has chosen to bypass labor negotiations and include major wage and benefits concessions—and a drastic attack on long-standing principles of employee relations—in his budget repair bill.
Typically, the executive honors labor agreements that have been negotiated with unions.
But Walker is not a typical executive.
He’s not negotiating. Instead, Walker said if necessary he would literally call in the National Guard.
As Milwaukee County executive, Walker submitted two budgets that included tens of millions of wage and benefits concessions that had not been negotiated with the unions that represent county employees. Walker’s 2010 budget included $32 million of concessions that were not included in a tentative agreement his own labor negotiator had struck with unions at the time Walker had proposed his budget.
Walker’s 2010 budget was so unfair that an examiner for the Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission declared that Walker had bargained in bad faith.
But that hasn’t deterred Walker from using the same tactic now as governor.
The nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau (LFB) concluded that the state would end the year with a surplus, so there is no need for a budget repair bill. Walker disputes those numbers, so he has submitted a budget repair bill that would strip collective bargaining rights from most state workers. Walker has excluded employees whose unions endorsed him in the 2010 election.
Typically, changes to bargaining rights would mean a change to state statutes.
Instead, Walker is using his unnecessary budget repair bill to drive a stake through the heart of Wisconsin’s social contract that has maintained stable labor relations with public employee unions for decades. Walker is trying to severely limit the rights of public employees in addition to requesting that they make wage and benefits concessions. But Walker’s demand for public employees to pick up more of their expenses would have a negative effect on the state’s economy by decreasing wages of middle-class workers; weakening their purchasing power at local businesses, putting more than 9,000 private sector jobs in jeopardy; and reducing property taxes statewide by an estimated $46 million, according to a recent study.
