Waukesha County's Three Good Men

Schellinger, Hutton, Zaborowski. Those are the good men.

164-O-035 is the Ordinance by which Waukesha County will be paying its AFSCME members more money during the next 12 months.

The Ordinance was passed, 21-3, with only the above men (underline men) voting against it.

Reason?

"Binding Arbitration." Some dweeb arbitrator decided that Waukesha County taxpayers were not paying enough to its employees, and decreed that a raise must be given.

Eighteen supervisors voted to bend the taxpayers over, again.

Here's the Milwaukee JS summary of the package:

In a proposal headed to the County Board this month and already ratified by the union, workers would pay some higher insurance deductibles and co-payments on medications and get a 1% pay raise this year and a 1.5% raise in 2011.

…Out-of-network deductibles under the proposed AFSCME contract would more than double, from $200 to $450 for single coverage and from $600 to $1,350 for family coverage. Employees who now pay $25 for certain drugs would have to pay $40 while other co-pay levels would not change.

That's a VERY nice health plan.

Made "legal" by 21 twits.
