Scott Walker Proposes Wages Freezes For Public Employees

Gov. Scott Walker wants to freeze wages for state public employees for two years, according to a story by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

State administrators unveiled the plan to state lawmakers today in the Joint Committee on Employee Relations. In a letter from Gregory L. Gracz, director of JCOER, to all state employees, stated that "very little was changing from the former collective bargaining agreements..."
