I love this article which outlines some of the rockiness that has befallen the New Berlin School district since the implementation of Act 10. I take an issue with the way the article takes at word some things that are said on both side, because believe me, when they say "teachers were consulted" they don't always mean everyone was consulted for input. I saw that first hand.
But, what I found interesting was this quote about the custodians: "Also, custodians were upset about reductions in vacation time, so a middle ground was found, he said." Hmm, custodian vacation time? Okay, so there's something that can't be collectively bargained for anymore, and management wants to cut back on a perk, sounds like the "new normal" to me.
Now in today's Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel: New Berlin to Lay off Most Custodians. Good to know those custodians were treated so fairly. Superintendent Joe Garza said, "We're always looking to improve all aspects, this being one of them"

Apparently, it's improving them by removing the dissenting voices. Good move there New Berlin... good move.
