MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin’s budget shortfall will hit state workers in the pocketbook starting in July.
A legislative committee has decided to give thousands of university employees and nonunion workers a 1 percent raise in July instead of the 2 percent bump approved last year.
The Joint Committee on Employment Relations also wiped out a 1 percent raise scheduled to take effect in April 2009. The committee replaced that with a 2 percent raise in June 2009.
