SUBJECT: Opposition for Assembly Bill 105
The Wisconsin Counties Association (WCA) opposes Assembly Bill 105 (AB 105) which requires counties to maintain the grievance process during contract negotiations and continue to abide by fair-share agreements even if a county believes the union is engaged in delaying tactics.
The bill appears to be targeted at one specific situation, but the impact of this legislation would undermine the ability of counties to respond to perceived delays in the collective bargaining process, and could therefore undermine the process of concluding contract negotiations in a timely fashion.
WCA respectfully requests your opposition for Assembly Bill 105.
