Wisconsin Assembly Approves Bill Stripping Away Union Rights

Wisconsin Assembly approves law for the correction of the termination of rights is a controversial bill is far from over because now leaving the State Senate with 14 legislators absent for a week.
Previously, the governor of Wisconsin Scott Walker walked away from self-imposed deadline today to approve his controversial "budget repair bill," as the legislature has been involved in a traffic jam and the Senate, 14 members were in hiding.

Walker declined to say how long it would wait for the bill, said that balancing the state budget, repeal of most trade union rights of collective bargaining for public employees, and empower management to modify the program State health spending.

But he said no layoffs to move the bill could lead to state aid to local governments fell by almost $ 1 billion and teachers.

"Year after year, politicians pass the buck and why now are in trouble and in the end," said Walker. "This is not only to protect the taxpayers, but also to protect workers." But neither Republicans nor Democrats are willing to blink first week of a long debate, which resulted in 14 of the Wisconsin Senate lawmakers fleeing the state and has led tens of thousands of protesters in the Wisconsin Capitol Building.

Earlier it was believed that the Assembly Democrats and Republicans had reached much faster, limiting the vote, a minority of less than 38 amendments are strictly 10 minutes.

However, the drums and chants of the weak "is what democracy looks," he continued to punch through the thick wooden doors of the Assembly and Democrats repeatedly charged that Republicans are given a similar ultimatum unions.

"The deal that even we were given was provided to workers, take it or leave it," said Rep. Joe Parisi (D-Madison).

Republican leaders said to have loose time constraints during the marathon session.

Assembly Speaker Republican Jeff Fitzgerald (R-Horicon) said, "Time is running out before the vote is necessarily pink slips to start going out."

If this happens, you can hit close to home. Scott Fitzgerald is the brother of Senate Majority leader and his wife, who is an adviser to the local school district has received preliminary dismissal after notice.Protesters and praised the Assembly Democratic minority leader in a small group tried to meet the Governor of Scott Walker in his office and offers a compromise on a one-week impasse. Walker was a no-show.

Democrats proposed collective bargaining rights of public employees. Governor Walker said that after examining the proposal and that was the same.

Republican leaders urged the House to move the trick.
Before Thursday, the Democrats had threatened to offer hundreds of amendments to controversial legislation that drew national attention and union supporters from across the country in support of their leader Peter Wisconsin colleagues.Minority Barca said that he has decided to limit the discussion only after Democrats got an ultimatum either limit the number of changes or that the process would be closed.

"The majority party does not have a chance to talk with us. We are told we are going to stop nuclear power and the ability to speak. If that happens, it would be extremely harmful to your room. We still have much to discuss here is a 144 page very bad bill, "said Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Madison).

The debate continues as the demonstrators remained peaceful, outside the halls set up food stalls, massage stations and other amenities that they dig in

Outside the Capitol Building, State troops at the request of Governor Walker fan, unsuccessfully, to find at least one of the 14 missing Wisconsin Democratic senators who have been on the run for over a week. Their absence has land debate in the Senate of Wisconsin stopped, and made it impossible for the bill is passed.

The soldiers knocked on the doors of the houses of some of the legislators who have left the state, in response to rumors that some of them had a secret back across the border to take the essentials. Set of 14 said they did not return until the Governor Walker was ready to compromise on the compromise Democrats proposals.By collective bargaining means a strip of his proposal. The governor and Republican leaders say, if it has been promised savings under the editorial vanish.In bill titled "Democracy demands that the" Governor Walker sent late Thursday praised the Democratic Assembly, the legislators, at least to discuss the bill. He blasted lawmakers fled the State Senate and said. "I mentioned to make difficult decisions necessary to balance the budget of Wisconsin" Walker said that the budget repair bill allows the State to save $ 300 million this year and U.S. $ 1.44 billion for the budget State. Democrats say $ 3.

6000000000 deficit in the next budget, which begins in July, is largely the result of the Great Depression and the plans to limit the Union's negotiating position is useless, especially when you have already agreed to pay cut.

Even if the Assembly passes through all the changes later tonight as expected, the Democrats of the Assembly have unlimited time to debate the actual bill. They gave no indication how long they can discuss it.

The approval of the bill in the Assembly would be a great victory for Republicans.
