TAs try to keep labor status quo

Teaching assistants from the University of Wisconsin System came to the State Capitol on Tuesday to tell legislators why they should reject a bill that would take away their collective bargaining rights.

Sen. Tom Reynolds, R-West Allis, said he proposed the bill because of an illegal strike by the UW-Madison Teaching Assistants Association last year.

….Reynolds said after the hearing that he is not sure when the committee might vote on the bill, but that even if the panel votes against it, he would try to bring it before the Senate by other means.
