“Can’t the Governor fire all the teachers that are protesting like Reagan did with the air traffic controllers?”

I don’t know how it works in Wisconsin, but in most states, teachers are employed by the local school board. They may bet part, or even most, of their salary from the state, but the hiring/firing decisions are made at the local level. So, to answer your question, the governor probably can’t fire them.

Thanks Balch3 - I should have known that well had I stopped to think for a moment I would have remembered that. I’m just so mad over this that I didn’t think. Bussing in people from SEIU, legislators running off to another state - it’s just ridiculous!

If the Dems don’t want to vote for the union busting ideas that the Governor has they should man up and vote no! They’re afraid they’ll be voted out or otherwise they’d be there to vote no.

I don’t know what that Governor can do but he has to be pissed as hell. If I had a child that wasn’t able to go to school I’d be furious also!
