Scott Walker trying to secretly cut teacher pay by nearly 1/3, and prevent unions from collective bargaining. This is in reference to Act 10, that Walker said wouldn't harm teachers.

This blatantly lying "Republican Rock Star" corporate-owned tool may not make it intact to the recall election vote on Tuesday! Looks like everything is starting to blow up in his face - even though the FBI said it would hold off on John Doe investigation information until after the election.

Later in the memo, they clearly lay it out (see graph in link above).

The "average single base wage" in Option 3 or the "status quo" will go from $56,302.57 to $38,822 in Option 1 (the one that Walker chose). That means on average, the average base wage will drop by 31.1%-- a huge hit to a teacher pay that is already below the national average.

There you have it in the Walker camp's own words: The intention of this rule was to make collective bargaining impossible by pushing the bargaining ceiling for salaries 31.1% below what teachers are being currently paid.
