The longstanding efforts of unions, students and staff at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to improve the lot of limited term employees could be coming to a successful end.
A proposal to raise 400 of the 1,300 LTEs on campus to full-time status and guarantee a living wage of $10.23 an hour to all LTEs was made today by the LTE collaboration committee to UW-Madison Chancellor John Wiley at a closed-door meeting in Bascom Hall.
While Wiley wouldn’t comment to the press, committee member and Dane County Board Supervisor Ashok Kumar told The Capital Times that the meeting went very well, and that Wiley seemed very receptive to the proposal.
