Urge MMSD to Collectively Bargain, Now!

The Dane County Board approved new union contracts last week  (YEAH and thanks to the  Sups!);  other local government units can do the same, including MMSD.
The Board of Education will be considering ” Negotiations strategy concerning successor Collective Bargaining Agreements for MMSD Bargaining Units, pursuant to Wis. Stat. §§19.82(1) and 19.85(1)(e)” at a closed meeting 5:00 Monday.
If you support Collective Bargaining and want our school staff to continue to enjoy those rights and protections, YOU NEED to contact the Board before Monday.  The easiest way is to email board@madison.k12.wi.us.
Here is my letter:

Members of the Board of Education
I urge you to take advantage of the opportunity offered by the recent decision in MTI v. Walker to reengage in collective bargaining with the unions representing district staff as soon as possible,
