Yes, that was after the law had been passed but prior to being published. I already addressed that.
Trying to use union's agreement after the law was passed and they had no alternatives and claiming that it proves what they would have done before the law was passed and they still thought they would delay, beat or modify the law doesn't quite work.
Prior to the bill being passed 2 big union leaders verbally claimed they would make the concessions. Many of the actual union members and a couple of other big union leaders said they would not agree to any concessions.
Do you have any examples of unions acepting pension/health care contributions prior to the law being passed? If they were so kind and willing to help out, surely those exist.
Did you read the article? The law had been passed, but it was not in effect due to a federal injunction. It was also being challenged in state court. The contracts demonstrate -- conclusively -- that the unions were willing to make concessions in order to retain their rights. We know that because they did in fact make concessions to retain their rights.
Otherwise, as stated several times, their offer to make concessions was conditioned on Walker giving up his effort to strip them of collective bargaining rights.
