Bonduel Union, Shocked, And Some Will Have To Get Another Job?

From The Shawano Leader

This is a shock and an outrage’

It did not take long for area educators to respond to Gov. Scott Walker’s proposal to eliminate nearly all public employee collective bargaining rights to help plug a $3.6 billion budget hole.

“This is a shock and an outrage,” said Christine Reinke, president of the Bonduel Education Association, which represents the district’s teachers. “He’s attacking teachers’ rights, and it is ultimately going to affect the kids.”

The governor’s proposal would affect approximately 175,000 public sector employees — including state and local government workers and teachers — who are union represented in Wisconsin, according to Associated Press reports. The number includes an estimated 39,000 are state employees and more than 106,000 teachers.

Reinke, who has been involved with education for more than 20 years and represents about 70 teachers in the union, said she already has heard concerns from other teachers.

“I’ve spoken with teachers who worry that they’ll have to get another job or find something else that pays more,” she said.

Find another job? Say what? It's only about a little more for them to pay for health care and retirement.


First, did the Leader ask what these teachers are paying for health care? Did the Leader ask how much they pay for their retirement? The Leader talks to union leaders and doesn't get any comments from any teachers? I mean teachers that are not union presidents.


If these teachers would of sacrificed a little in the past, maybe this wouldn't of happened. The greed from the union bosses will get the best of the rank and file.What goes around, comes around. 


Let's just be honest here, the union bosses are scared to death of losing their extra pay and status. I bet the rank and file would love to see them go but would never say it or admit they said it.
