Milwuakee teachers unions - putting the recall efforts above what's beneficial to the students and the school:
Walker says unions trying to sabotage government reformsGov. Scott Walker said Wednesday that unions were trying to sabotage his efforts at government reform because leaders of four unions urged the Milwaukee teachers union not to support possible legislation to allow financial concessions just before the June recall.
Leaders of the Madison Teachers Inc. union were among those who wrote a letter dated Tuesday saying that the legislation would harm union members and the effort to recall Walker.
"Allowing Governor Walker to make such a claim just before the recall election will prove detrimental to recalling him and, therefore, will only enhance his ability to further harm all Wisconsin public employees," said the letter, signed by MTI executive director John Matthews and president Peggy Coyne, among others.
