Question for you: If the Dems don’t return, and Walker has to layoff thousands, will those layoffs be governed by the EXISTING CB agreement, which I assume protects seniority..and thus will result in last hired first fired? You’re forced to keep the highest paid, and no chance to keep the best..

Along the same lines, it is humorous to watch the students protesting for CB when it will prevent qualified graduates from replacing incompetent government workers.
Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. . .
Yes the existing collective bargaining agreement takes precedence.
The interesting thing is even when the budget repair bill passes, it does not take affect until the existing collective bargaining expires. So in the 700+ school districts, 72 counties, 1000+ cities, towns, villages, UW system, technical colleges, etc, etc, etc. the impact of the bill will be felt at different times.
The local tech college MATC just passed a FOUR year contract with NO cost pension, and no changes to health plan. The conctract did not expire till June 2011, but they rushed it through to screw the taxpayers one last time.
