Hi all,
We've been getting a lot of questions about the successful Gubernatorial election.
"What's next?"
you want to know. Will Act 10 be repealed? Can we bargain meaningfully again? Will the recertification elections be eliminated? Will we get raises?
While all of these things seem possible, they will not magically fall from the sky. As you are aware, our new Governor will be challenged by a Republican legislature at every turn. What Evers is able to accomplish will depend on legislator push-back, a lame-duck legislative session that may try to cut back the Governor's powers, and, on the positive side, what YOU are willing to do to help!
Stay tuned for WEAC strategies and calls for assistance. Get ready to contact your legislators on matters that affect your profession and your livelihood.
--Peace
Kathy Rohde
Regional Director
