That’s great news. A small start, but good none the less. Now they’ll have more time to storm the capital.

[US Navy Vet]

Sounds like a good start.

[listenhillary]

Imagine that. They’re having trouble getting union members to voluntarily send in union dues.

THIS was the reason for the ferocity of their battle against Walker.

[Night Hides Not]

Had the unions not blown all that money on recalls, those people would not have to be laid off.

[Carling]

Layoffs are announced the day before two Dem recall elections.

I imagine that the layoffs won’t even be followed through with, regardless of who wins. This is a political announcement, and that’s it.

[Buck-I-Guy]

Their unwavering support for big spending pols has finally cost these unions. Excuse me while I cry. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

[Presbyterian Reporter]

This clearly tells what a slush fund the WEA Health Insurance Fund was.

Cutting 40% of the staff is a big deal.

Way to go Walker!!!!

[buccaneer81]

Spent the budget on the recalls and got burned! I love it!

[COBOL2Java]

The legislation makes it illegal for local teachers unions to electronically deduct dues from the payroll of teachers, and local unions also have to hold re-certification votes.

The horror!

[Dacula]

Why don’t they ask the wealthy union members to pay more of their fair share, afterall, isn;t that what he president telling us?

RE :"WEAC issues layoff notices to 40% of staff By Erin Richards of the Journal Sentinel Aug. 15, 2011 12:02 p.m. |(114) Comments Layoff notices have been issued to about 40% of the Wisconsin Education Association Council workforce, a total of 42 employees who work for the state's largest teachers union, Executive Director Dan Burkhalter confirmed Monday. Burkhalter said that the layoffs and other budget cuts at WEAC are a result of Gov. Scott Walker's "union-busting" legislation. "

Perfect jobs to 'ship overseas' . Two WI Democrat recall elections on Tuesday, just winning one would crush liberals moral.

[roaddog727]

Nice to hear that union LEACHES are finally getting the Ax.

Welcome to the REAL world.

[Minus_The_Bear]

Dumbasses spent $30 million on those recall elections.

Maybe they could have kept some teachers employed with that money.

These people are parasites.

[joe fonebone]

and the lack of funds could not have anything to do with the millions of dollars the teachers union pumped into the recent elections, could it?????

We Are In A Fight For Our Republic

Are You In Or Are You Out?

Support Free Republic

[exit82]

If all the union’s members across Wisconsin would just donate five dollars a week, all these folks could keep their jobs.

But then libs never want to part with their OWN money.

Solidarity! /s

[Crawdad]

This is the week they stop auto-deduction from paychecks for union dues.

[kevao]

That $35 million the unions blew on their failed recall efforts would have paid a lot of union salaries. Oh, well....

[dfwgator]

And the schools won’t even miss a beat.
