Madison Collective Bargaining Rhetoric

Matthew DeFour

Madison Teachers Inc. wants to shake up the Madison School Board after another negotiation in which it conceded several member benefits to stave off the effects of the state's new collective bargaining law.

MTI's weekly newsletter equates the School Board with the Legislature and Gov. Scott Walker, and calls the board's statements opposing changes in collective bargaining "not worth the paper they were written on."

"Keep in mind that to get fully out from under the cloud caused by Act 10, what is needed is a change in the Legislature, the governor and the Board of Education," the newsletter states. "All can be impacted by elections this fall, next spring and in 2014."
