Collective Bargaining is a Fiscal Issue: Part 2 | Scott Walker for Wisconsin Governor

Collective Bargaining is a Fiscal Issue: Part 2 | Scott Walker for Wisconsin Governor: "Because of collecting bargaining, unions have included provisions in employee contracts that have a direct fiscal impact such as not allowing management to schedule workers based on operational needs and requiring notice and approval by the union prior to scheduling changes. As county executive, Walker attempted to reduce work hours based on budget pressures and workload requirements by instituting a 35-hour work week to avoid layoffs, which the union opposed. Additionally, government cannot explore privatization of functions that could save taxpayers money."
